@olivierlambert Thank you Olivier

Hello,

As Siemens FT (TR) team, we have a plan to migrate vSphere to XCP-NG. We are now about to test migration options.

As I started my trial period a several weeks ago, it is now expired.

Is there any way to extend this period or what would be the ideal solution to keep testing premium features (except re-installation)?

Thank you.

Hello,

I am testing storage migration (from Local Server Storage to iSCSI shared storage). I need to check the exact duration (start time, finish time) of migration process. How can I access logs to check duration?

I checked VM Logs but I can only see VM_STARTED, VM_REBOOTED logs.

Thank you.

@Danp Hi, Thanks for quick support.

Hello,

We are planning to deploy XCP-NG & XOA as a replacement of vSphere in our organization and still having some tests before proceeding with production.

As I started my trial period a few weeks ago, it is now expired.

Is there any way to extend this period or what would be the ideal solution to keep testing premium features (except re-installation)?

Thank you for replies.

I just used VMware Converter for V2V (seems more practical for me)

The trick was to enable Root user and enable SSH connection for Root user so that VMware Converter can start the conversion process.

There were some errors about registration and updater service, so I applied the following guide (although I am not sure if this solved the issue):

https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/5990/register-instance-of-xo-running-on-hyper-v/4?_=1742821441300

Now everything is working as expected.

Thank you.

I need to deploy Xen Orchestra on ESXi.

When I download Xen Orchestra, the downloaded file is in XVA format and it is impossible to import it to ESXi directly.

Now, I will try to convert using VMware Converter but I am looking for easier way to deploy XO on ESXi (if there is any)

(I know XO is based on Xen but I wish there was a OVA template for XO to deploy it on ESXi. Or ISO would work too.)

Thank you.

@DustinB Yes I totally understand but I need to provide guidance for customer to select right CPU&RAM config for a physical node.

@Davidj-0 Thank you. Yes I will start with 3:1 and see how it would go.

Hello,

As IT team, we are planning to provide virtualization service based on XCP-NG.

Is there a general idea of the amount of physical server CPU and RAM that should be offered in response to a virtual server's CPU and RAM resource demand?

For example, when using a competitor virtualization product in the market, we usually proceeded as pCPU:vCPU = 1:3

The reason we want to understand this is that when customers come to us with the CPU & RAM of their virtual machines, we want to be able to recommend server models with the right specification.

Thank you.

@DustinB Hi Dustin, thanks for reply.

In our environment, processes are a little bit complicated. We need to move on with vSphere for some time so I need to host XOA on vCenter. So I will need a hybrid approach for a while.

Thanks again.

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to install XOA on a VM hosted in vSphere ESXi. (Something similar to external vCenter)

Thank you.

Hello,

When I check (https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/tag/release/) the latest version for XOA seems to be 5.104.

My XOA is 5.103 but when I click on "Refresh" it does not automatically find 5.104.

How can I update XOA to 5.104? (using GUI preferably)

Thank you.

@dinhngtu said in LDAP fails with error "Code: -32000 Message: Code: 0x3":

sAMAccountName

Thank you. (userPrincipalName={{name}}) filter made the trick.

When I use (userPrincipalName={{name}}), it works for me either I set certificate check ON or not. (Actually I was expecting to check AD root cert as this connection is using LDAPS)

And also test only works when I do it using UPN but not with username@domain format.

Other filter options did not work at all.

@Danp

Here are my results:

user filter with CA:
Code: -32000

Message: could not authenticate user

user filter without CA:
Code: -32000

Message: could not authenticate user

Hello @Danp, Please find ss attached. I tried infinite number of config settings but no luck.

Hello,

I am trying to configure LDAP authentication (Active Directory) on XOA.

When I test configuration I get error message:

Code: -32000
Message: Code: 0x3

What should I check? How can I overcome this. Thank you.
