    @Razor_648 While I was writing my previous message, I have been reminded that there are also issues with LVHDoISCSI SR and CBT, you should disable CBT on your backup job and on all VDI on the SR. It might help with the issue.

    @StephenAOINS This endpoint is not currently present in our REST API swagger, but we do plan to add it to the list of endpoints. We are currently finalizing the migration of existing endpoints, the next step will be adding new ones. We will keep you informed when it is available. Feel free to come back to us if you want to learn more and follow our blog posts. have a good day

    @olivierlambert You're most welcome. XCP-ng + Xen Orchestra is a solid solution and I would very much like to see it get adopted within my organization, so I'll do anything (legal of course) to work through these problems and share the solutions, so the entire community can benefit.

    @julien-f Would that be something like this for a dynamic network config as an example? network: version: 1 config: - type: physical name: enX0 subnets: - type: static address: 192.168.99.{index}/24 gateway: 192.168.99.1 - type: nameserver address: - 172.31.31.1 - 192.168.45.11 search: - example.tld I plan to test this at some point, but I don't do a whole lot of bulk provisioning myself. Just curious.

    @encryptblockr said in Ubuntu 24.04 Cloud Image Template Not Working: did you mount the guest tools cdrom to the cloud image before you created a template from it? No, I just make my base images (for the end template) as generic as possible, and I do all mounts, package installs, accounts, keys, including the xe-guest utils package all in the user-data config for cloud-init. Makes the configurations more uniform across all stacks I have to maintain and scales really well with jinja templates. also what is point of {name}% in below? can you explain? where does it get {name} from and what is % use? That pulls the hostname from metadata that is provided by the nocloud datasource. If you ever want to see all the metadata available (for example, say your provisioning plane does dynamic configuration from some backend IAS platform, and you need logic that renders metadata to run different configurations; run the following after login: cloud-init query -a For example, I run different configurations based on what the 'distro' value is - example: cloud-init query -f {{v1.distro}} {% if distro in ['rocky', 'ol', 'centos', 'fedora', 'redhat', 'almalinux'] -%} //do the rpm things// This allows us to run completely different configuration settings based on what distro its being run in, or even what virtualization platform it is running on. Some platforms won't use the hostname, or fqdn meta values, so I have some if logic that only adds it when vendordata is null, example; {% if vendordata == '' %} fqdn: {name} {% endif %} Probably more than you wanted to know, but that's a brief summary of cloud-init metadata.

    @olivierlambert Based on what you mentioned about losing everything and rebuilding, if you reconnect to the NFS share, will you be able to see the VMs listed below, or would additional steps be required to recover them? Thanks! [image: 1733646346634-a2bede49-af10-45e8-9014-7c70143688cf-image.png]

    I ran into this problem with a fresh install of XCP-ng and TrueNAS last night. The fix is on TrueNAS, NFS Advanced Options, set the maproot user to 'root' and maproot group to 'wheel'. By default the fields are empty.

    I know this is quite old but wanted to update with additional findings. I had the same error and it turns out you are using a non-standard port. In this case, tcp/8888 which I have blocked on my perimeter firewall.

    Good-day Folks, While troubleshooting this issue with my sales rep, I shared a screenshot of one of my VMs and he noted that it was odd that the boot disk was connected as device xvdb instead of xvda. So he asked me to go through and check if the VMs that were having problems booting, looked similar. I went through and confirmed that all the VMs that were failing to boot did not have an “xvda” device. I went through the Storage menu and found a few disks that did not have a name or description, which was quite odd (to say the least). I mounted each disk, one at a time, to one of the VMs and booted until I identified and renamed each of them. As it stands now, I’ve been able to get all the VMs back up and running again. However, that leaves some unanswered questions: How does taking a snapshot of a the MAIL01 VM (which was built with two disks – Disk1 for OS and Disk2 for Data), cause the VM to have its xvda device detached, and snowball that to other VMs? How is it that VDIs that I name myself during VM creation, all of a sudden become detached from their VMs and lose their name and description? How does a VM Template lose its disk? Because I was able to identify the disk that’s supposed to be attached to the template, but now it’s orphaned, and I don’t know how to re-attach it to the template. In any case, I’m glad this happened in this lab environment, so I'm willing to work with you all at Vates to see if we can do a root cause analysis to prevent this in the future. All I did was take a snapshot, and this is certainly not the experience I should have had (nor is what I'm used to seeing). Some screenshots to illustrate what I saw: [image: 1732747097783-screenshot_netxms01_no_vdi.png] [image: 1732747097860-screenshot_netxms01_no_vdi_2.png]

    @gonzametal I modified sudoers and could create the folder in the terminar but the error still there (I think because the syscall). I will install as root again to avoid this kind of issues in the future

    @sb2014 I've encountered this particular issue once before, and these were the steps we used to correct it -- Shutdown the VM Export the snapshot's VDI from the SR's DIsks tab using XVA file format Forget the snapshot Import the XVA file created in the earlier step Attach the newly imported disk to the target VM Start the VM to verify that it boots correctly Regards, Dan

    Hi, You should use the UI to config the plugin, but I suppose you are asking to pass extra parameters that aren't displayed/existing?
