What network should XO or XOA be connected to?

Infrastructure:
2 xcp-ng host
1 synology storage (nfs vm storage and nfs iso)
1 xo (built from sources)

Each xcp-ng host has 3 network adapters. 1x 1gb 2x 10gb.
each 1gb adapter is connected to network “Management interface” 10.100.1.0/24
1x 10gb is connected to “storage network” 10.100.2.0/24
Pool setting migration network is a vlan connected to storage nic.
Pool setting backup network is Pool-wide Network associated with storage nic.
1x 10gb is connected to “VM network” 10.100.10.0/24

So based off that should XO be connected to VM network? or Storage network? or both?

AIs response -

The XO appliance (XOA) should be connected to both the VM network and the storage network to effectively manage all required functions, including VMs, backups, and migrations. Here’s the organized conclusion:

VM Network Connection: Connect XO to the VM network (10.100.10.0/24) to handle management and VM traffic.
Storage Network Connection: Connect XO to the storage network (10.100.2.0/24) to manage backups, migrations, and access to NFS storage on Synology.
VLAN Consideration: If using VLANs, ensure that XO has access to both the migration and backup networks via the storage NIC or through appropriate VLAN configurations on a single interface.
By connecting XO to both networks, it can efficiently perform all management tasks related to VMs and storage operations.

If your management and storage networks are separate then yes, XO should be connected to both of those networks. The best way to do this is having two network interfaces on the XO VM.

Ok so it should be connected to the management network and storage not vm network and storage?

Yes, but make sure you set the network for VM transfers and backups to be the faster network.
