    @tmk said in Cloudbase-init on Windows: @jkatz I ran into the same issue when trying to configure a network adapter with cloudbase-init. The documentation says that the MAC address value is optional but in reality it is required. In my case I want Xen Orchestra to choose a unique MAC during deployment, and I since I am deploying from a template, the NIC name is a known value. The fix that ended up working for me was to modify the networkconfig.py file in cloudbase-init so that the NIC name is required and the MAC address is optional. I ended up making some additional changes to allow for the network-config v2 format along with the existing v1 support and some additional logic to aid in setting the dns search domains (I can't recall if this was originally supported or not but I had issues getting it to work with the original networkconfig.py file) This file needs to replace the existing one that is installed in the C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\Python\Lib\site-packages\cloudbaseinit\plugins\common\ directory. To replace it you should make sure that the cloudbase-init service is stopped, then replace the file. Once this file is replaced, delete the pycache folder in the same parent folder as networkconfig.py - this will ensure that python recompiles this file on service start. Start the cloudbase-init service and confirm that you see a new pycache get created. I'm not a python programmer by trade so others may be able to point out areas for improvement but this ended up working for me and I wanted to share in case it could help others needing to deploy new servers without manually specifying a new MAC address. Below is an example network-config v2 format that works with the updated file. version: 2 ethernets: Ethernet 2: dhcp4: false addresses: - 10.20.30.10/24 nameservers: addresses: - 10.20.5.12 - 10.20.5.13 - 10.20.5.14 search: - intranet.domain.org - domain.org - public-domain.org routes: - to: default via: 10.20.30.1 Updated networkconfig.py file: networkconfig.py.txt Thank you for posting! I followed your directions verbatim and I'm still having trouble getting the network config to take. Does it work with Windows Server 2025?

    @DustinB Yeah I thought about doing something like this, but then we are getting into overkill costs lol. My main point behind this post was to get info on what other people are doing, I presumed most are just relying on config backups and will restore it at the other site if needed, which is fine. I was just also debating about whether or not I wanted the subnets to match between these 2 sites, since that can create some routing headaches, but should still be doable and would make recovery even faster. @olivierlambert yeah I do use that feature, so that's very helpful! Should make this all doable.

    @Andrw0830 I am using paid version of ESXi / vSphere. The free version of ESXi has so many limitations that I consider it pretty much unusable / only usable for very limited basic tests. It would not suprise me if your issue is due to the license limitations within ESXi.

    @Andrew said in XOA suddenly "empty" during rolling update: @halvor Yes, kind of... The pool master must be updated and rebooted first. If you move the master to a different host then you are no longer rebooting the pool master first. XOA is just a very smart client and needs the pool master to provide all of the pool information. Secondary machines will just redirect to the master, so if you try to connect XOA to one as a backup it won't work. You just need to wait for the master to reboot and return to a functioning state and wait for XOA to automatically reconnect. The everything will start happening again. If your master host is destroyed (ie. software corruption, hardware failure) then an existing host can be forced to take over the pool as master, but this is not a good thing to do unless the actual pool master is unrecoverable. Ok, great, thank you for clearing this up!

    @planedrop While you are connected to the XOA VM, be sure to verify that the required changes have been performed on /etc/systemd/system/xo-server.service when the VM memory was increased. Details can be found in this troubleshooting KB article -- https://help.vates.tech/kb/en-us/31/48

    I have no idea what this flag is doing, so my gut feeling is: no, it's not on XO side but a "problem "on the reverse proxy itself.

    @CodeMercenary Glad it worked! I just noticed that in the couple weeks since this happened, a new set of Pool Patches was available, so I ran through the usual process to update those and had no issues at all. This time, everything went smoothly, just as it has for the entire time I've had this lab up and running. So, chalk this up to one of those weird glitches you're bound to see when you use any technology long enough. As far as I'm concerned, the issue has been resolved. Please feel free to close out the issue.

    @Cyrille It would be nice if (assuming integration with the ccm) there was a way to integrate the horizontal scaling tooling that exists to automatically scale up&down (setting minimum/maximum VM counts), but that is 100% out of scope for the CCM as is Im sure. If you are asking for a dream wishlist tho, Id love if I could See what recipes Ive deployed & their current settings & general sum-stats have ability to adjust variables such as the ssh key, the current worker count or upgrade to a HA cluster (that is, increase master count to 3. (I understand that some of those are harder than others) Be able to upgrade the recipes as necessary (IE from 1.33-> 1.34).

    @HH said in XO Commuity Edition Xen Orchestra, commit fee7b geht nicht auf Master, commit e5702: I didn't mean that I want to go to 6.0 now, but when 6.0 becomes "Stable LTS", get that automatically with your script ? Assuming there aren't any major changes to the upgrading processing using the existing script should work, but that has to be determined once a general release is created.

    Hello everyone. I tripped over this issue. If someone got another approach I would be interested. Thanks to @lsouai-vates I had a look at: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/ab56924b1d046ccf6c09dfe7a4ab47deb5d77f4a/packages/xo-acl-resolver/index.js and https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/ab56924b1d046ccf6c09dfe7a4ab47deb5d77f4a/packages/xo-server/src/xo-mixins/acls.mjs#L150-L168 To what I understand it is not possible as a Non-Admin user to get information like pools, ... By creating a new admin user limiting the resources via ACLS with viewer right worked around this. However, granting admin rights still looks sort of strange. Just in case someone struggled as well this information might help.
