    @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?

    I could be wrong but from VMware world the management interface didnt transfer much data if at all. It was only used to communicate to vsphere and/or to the to the host. So no need to waste a 10gb port on something only only see kb worth of data. Our previous server had 2x 1gb nics for management 1x 10gb nic for network 2x 10tgb nic for storage 1x 10gb nic for vmotion.

    @manilx I have proposed to the IaC team of Vates, a MCP Server for Vates VMS. Which can be used by GitHub Copilot or similar, if used when doing IaC etc.

    Note: just do a yarn && yarn build and it will work. The XO 6 build might be broken, but that's not surprising, it could happens.

    @flakpyro yes, indeed that exactly what I was talking about. The XO6 new interface will provide more information, but I am noting the missing type of bound to discuss it with XO team for next feature.

    Works with .raw at the moment. If you disconnect it from the vm and migrate it to another SR its converter to vhd.

    @yzgulec said in How to deploy XO on ESXi: I just used VMware Converter for V2V (seems more practical for me) Installing from Source or using an installation script from the community is also very straight-forwards. Maybe 10 minutes worth of setup for the OS and then for at least my github it's a single line installation.

    @splastunov I realize this thread is old, but I think there is important info to keep connected to this thread for future readers. The IP locking trick doesn't seem to prevent all traffic -- it only prevents traffic that has an IP that isn't 255.255.255.255 (and possibly others as well). That is, I can still successfully acquire a DHCP IP even when the IP locking mechanism is engaged. I think this is important for others to know since it doesn't fully isolate VMs like the OP wanted. UPDATE: Setting the locking mode to "disabled" is what you want -- not "locked". Disabled will drop all traffic; locked simply checks if the set of IPs in the VM is permitted.

    @irtaza9 Sometimes when I have been tinkering with a host, I get a red triangle. Then just pressing Enabled and then Disabled can get rid of the triangle and the host back in business again.

    @julien-f said in Enhancement suggestion: Filter showing VMs that don't have the agent installed: XO does not support this for halted VMs but that could be added indeed. Can you change the title of my thread to "Enhancement suggestion: Update 'ManagementAgentDetected?' to support halted VMs" ?

    @ph7 Some of the errors you encountered are intended. We don't allow values in the "Virtual Machines" field if "Exclude VMs" is disabled and "All running VMs" is enabled, because it would make the plugin configuration confusing. However you're right, there seems to be an issue when the VMs are selected and then removed. The value becomes an empty list instead of being undefined, which causes the validation to fail when we try to turn off the "Exclude VMs" option. I'm going to create a task on our side so that we can plan to resolve this problem. In the meantime you can work around the problem by deleting the monitor and recreating a new one with the same parameters.

    @BenjiReis HA is automatically disabled by the RPU when it starts, then enabled at the end. - I see the task for that in the task log. We do have about 5 VMs that do not have HA enabled, but they are very small (~4GB each) so should not make any difference regardless of which hosts they were on. Also all VMs successfully evacuate from the host for the updates, its only when VMs are migrated back after all hosts are upgraded that I see a problem. I've raised a support ticket, if anything relevant comes out of it I'll try and report back here for future readers. Thanks for the suggestions, Neal.
