    • Unable to start newly created VM; cd drive not completely installed warning message

      I'm unable to create a new VM with Xen Orchestra; when viewing the vm's disks, there is a message stating the cdrom is not completely installed and that start/stop would complete the installation. Trying to start the vm yields the following error message:

      VDI_MISSING(OpaqueRef:f1c5dab1-07ce-4db8-96d7-533cca7da3b5, OpaqueRef:4c0ddfd3-d197-40c1-9043-7d3a70ed8aba).

      Just for kicks Itried creating a vm with same parameters using XCP-ng Center and was successful.

      Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

    • RE: Intel x710-t2l Problems

      @olivierlambert I

      Hello!

      I apologize for the long silence. Major medical and system hardware problems came up and had to be dealt with.

      I now have what I consider to be a very stable v8.3 install. I can report that the base i40 driver does not work with Intel x710 v9.54 firmware. In pfSense's console, both interfaces are report as active but there is no traffic flow, no response to a ping request, and the GUI is unavailable.

      I installed the alternate drive with both interfaces reported as active but again there is no traffic on the WAN interface. The LAN interface is ping-able and the GUI available.

      At this point I feel my option is to build the driver from source. As I am not a developer I asked (don't laugh) ChatGPT for a recipe. The installed kernel is 4.19.0+1 and ChatGPT claims 4.19.19-8.0.38.2.xcpng8.3 is the development kernel and is installed.

      Your input would be greatly appreciated.

      Best regard

      I feel I must add that I'm totally out of my depth here.

      @olivierlambert

      Hi!

      Thanks for your response.

      When XCP-ng v8.3 is up and running, I have pfSense 2.8.1 running in a vm. An Ookla speed test shows 5.77mbps download speeds and 42.07mbps upload speeds.

      I then booted the r720 with a Windows 10 disk I use for undating nics and ssds. Here Ookla shows speeds of 1.8gb

      Comcast rates the link at 2.5gb

      Intel's current driver is at version 2.28.9.

      I'm currently checking out building the driver rabbit hole but am unable to locate kernel-devel-4.19.0+1.x86_64.rpm to build against.

      Best regards

      Booted the system using Windows 10 and did a speed test.

      The systems down speed pegged Ookla's speed test.

    • Intel x710-t2l Problems

      I'm running a Dell r720 with:

      2 LSI 9300s, both internal and external flavors, with 8 ssds attached to the internal 9300 and storage array attached to the external 9300, a pci-expander with 4 U.2 ssds, an Intel I-350 daughter card for DOM0 eth0 and VM interfaces, and and Intel X710-t2l running in a pfSense 2.8.1 for firewall/router.

      The X710 is running nvram version 9.54 and XCP-ng's i40e driver, version 2.25.11. Throughput is almost nothing.

      There is an Intel X710-da4 on its way.

      I see at https://github.com/XCP-ng/xcp/wiki/Drivers there are updated versions available but have been unable to figure out how to access them.

      At this point I feel stumped.

      Your input would be appreciated.

      Best regards

    • RE: Xen-guest-tools installation problems

      @Andrew said in Xen-guest-tools installation problems:

      You can rename libxenstore.so.4.0 to libxenstore.so.4

      Thanks for the info... I figured the utilities have not yet been updated, and you have confirmed.

      One additional piece of information. When examining the unstartable virtual machine's disks there is a notation saying that the cd drive is not completely installed.
