i forgot how i got VM_BAD_POWER_STATE.
Probably need to choose multiple VMs from different pools and do a batch migration.

Many errors don't explain the cause or lead you down the wrong path. For example:

Got this issue since 2026-07-12.

aaaand it happens again.

@olivierlambert for now it solved after toolstack restart everywhere.

@Pilow no.

Can't migrate an XO VM to any pool because of this error.
You need to remove any CR copy that is halted to make migration work.

I get this error with each metadata backup run, but every time it fail on different pool. Only 1 failed pool at once.

@benapetr said in New project - XenAdminQt - a cross-platform GNU/Linux, macOS, Windows native thick client:

you can switch between them

nope, that just 2 from multiple nics.

Need press add ip address to add other NICs. Now i see how it works.

it's only possible to change management interface.

nothing can be done with other NICs.

weird, what is this?

@benapetr configure dhcp\static mode.

I haven't found how to set up a physical NIC. you can only edit already configured ones.

While I was updating all the pools, a micro-update for 5 packages was released again. They come out every week now.

Same issue with basic migration. Now it impossible.

@DustinB but this is impossible scenario. CR requried a VM SR, not a backup one) weird option.

@ph7 i have 3)

still don't get anything.

I noticed that a single CR backup job creates two VMs in each pool.

Also, I found an unavailable button in the backup task.

I don't understand when or what exactly was changed.

Any news about issue?

Ok, my syntax is oudated.

resize_rootfs: true
growpart:
  mode: auto
  devices: ['/dev/xvda3']
  ignore_growroot_disabled: false

runcmd:
  - pvresize /dev/xvda3
  - lvextend -r -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv || true

this one works.

final_message. doesn't support any macro like %(uptime) %(UPTIME)

@Pilow said in Unable to copy template:

something preventing you to patch thoses hosts ?

yes.
