@fohdeesha thanks for the information, I've added the following to my cloud-init template:

runcmd:
  # disable dhcp for eth0
  - [ sh, -c, sed -e '/iface eth0 inet dhcp/s/^/#/g' -i /etc/network/interfaces ]

at the end of the installation I have a reboot of the machine anyway so I don't restart the network in between:

power_state:
 delay: "+2" # minutes
 mode: reboot
 message: rebooting system after cloud-init configurations are finished
 timeout: 120 # seconds

cheers and keep up the good work!

Thanks guys! Absolut Legends

@julien-f that also fixed my issue, cheers!

great job guys on a saturday! I am just updating my xo but your response times are great, keep up the good work!

@astrugatch you can put it into the same files like the cert it’s called a chain cert then

@julien-f thanks! I have tested it and its working now! cheers Ringo

@julien-f happy to help let me know when you fixed it and I will test it. cheers Ringo

hi everyone,

I am on the last version of XO and wanted to play around with the REST-AP. scheduling a rolling pool update but I got an error I can't figure out:

curl -X POST -b authenticationToken=XXX https://xo.xxx/rest/v0/pools/5222b44b-e25b-a14d-4da2-c7a0dd8cf59f/actions/rolling_update
/rest/v0/tasks/0m1agafzh

the log says:

Do you have any idea what the problem is here?

If I start the update via XO everything works without errors.

thanks and have a great day!

@Studmuffn1134 No we shutdown virtual machines first and xcp-ng servers last.
Puppet is a config-mgmt tool so you don't have to install apcupsd on every machine manually, it can automates stuff like that.
what do you use as nfs storage? normally you can configure to a shared network storage device that it talks to the smart-ups and shuts it self down before its running out of power

cheers Ringo

We installed apcupsd in every virtual machine with puppet and shut down test/dev systems early and important systems later. XCP-ng servers also got it installed and shutdown last.

@jedimarcus thank you i will have a look!

hi team,

we were wondering, is it possible to get the usage of the SRs of a pool from the xoa API so we could monitor it?
also is there a list somewhere online of what information we can get from the xoa API at the moment? I don't want to bother you with my questions all the time, easier to check what's possible

cheers, Ringo

@julien-f @olivierlambert thanks guys I will wait until the end of the month you rock!

hi team, thanks for your excellent work! we love xcp-ng and xoa
I've written an ansible playbook to update our virtual machines and I would like to trigger a snapshot of the VM bevor I start the automatic update. is there a way to trigger that snapshot through the rest API? I've searched a bit in documentation and the forum but couldn't find something
cheers Ringo
