    I have upgraded from 8.2.1 to 8.3. No I cant see any stats anymore. But I get a lot of these messages: { "id": "0mfjnqn6i", "properties": { "method": "vm.stats", "params": { "id": "2dd9279e-1f06-0151-6b9a-1ebf29d48edc" }, "name": "API call: vm.stats", "userId": "7a3187b0-312e-43f9-9870-cfd591078f02", "type": "api.call" }, "start": 1757852076761, "status": "failure", "updatedAt": 1757852076845, "end": 1757852076845, "result": { "errno": -111, "code": "ECONNREFUSED", "syscall": "connect", "address": "127.0.0.1", "port": 443, "message": "connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443", "name": "Error", "stack": "Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443\n at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1555:16)\n at TCPConnectWrap.callbackTrampoline (node:internal/async_hooks:128:17)" } } To me it looks like XOA tries to load the data from 127.0.0.1. I have another pool connected to that XOA. Also 8.3. No issues. Therefore I assume it is not my XOA that causes that problem. I also update to the latest version via git pull. No change. Anyone and idea why this is? BR C

    @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?

    You need to use LDAP plugin to enable user login with XO. Please refer to our official documentation: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/ldap.html

    This is an idea I had a long time ago (issue created in 2016), but due to the lack of request for this, it's not a priority. Obviously, if you have pro support, creating a ticket to get this could raise the priority of dev teams. Also, contributions are very welcome

    XOA supports CH 8.0, what's your error? XOA use another mechanism because CBT isn't really worth it (we use delta VHD instead, which is compatible even with XS Free)

    We patched some part of SMAPIv1 to "make it work" (our patches were even merged) but VHD export is another (more) complicated story. That's why we are working on SMAPIv3 now instead wasting resources on the "legacy" storage stack

    @Danp said in XOA: VMs' consoles don't work ("Unknown key pressed, Unknown key released"): What version of XS / XCP? Are you fully patched? XOA is on XCP-ng 7.6 which I installed 3 weeks ago and then updated with yum, so still up-to-date, I believe (not trying to update at the moment as I'm in a process of migrating and don't want any reloads/restarts of XCP-ng. VMs were on XenServer 6.2 updated with all patches available. Additional info: one of the Linux VMs which I tried to use XOA's console with, was already on XCP-ng 7.6 (the same as XOA) and here behaviour was different (but bad anyway): hitting Enter was giving newlines, AFAIR, but the console wasn't reacting on other keys. This may help -- https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xenserver-consoles/ Thanks. Though I'm not sure which keyboard layout the blog mentions... Of the browser (client)? Of the host with XOA? Of the host with the VM observed on the XOA's "console"?

    What you found is a pretty old and outdated thread, and conclusion is: It's not limited - and there's no real difference between 1 and 10GE. In case it's limited to protect mgmt-int, it would scale with 10GE, but in fact it doesn't.

    Use a single partition because this is a nice way to let cloud init grow the system disk if needed. I made a guide a while ago about doing this on a Debian, it's exactly the same principle: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/debian-cloud-template-for-xenserver/

    I ran into something VERY similar with XCP-ng and\or XOA a while back - ended up with close to 200 new "clients" showing up on my Meraki gear. They weren't even "connected" long enough to register as IP clients, only MAC clients (ARP, possibly). I didn't think much about it at the time, as both the MAC addresses and hardware information didn't seem to be tied to any actual device by some manufacturer. I may be able to pull those out from my client history... EDIT: Here is a small section of that list: [image: 1556589256050-fc439a0c96cb13a0b2b11b3bd80ff3be.png]

    To get assistance on XOA, since you have support, it's better to go with our support ticket system. This way, you can be sure to have an answer with direct developer access in a guaranteed amount of time. Please open a ticket here: https://support.vates.fr/#/tickets XOA isn't dealing on what's inside on the VM: it's an hypervisor-level agentless backup solution. As soon you create the ticket, we'll take a more in-depth look about details (what kind of backup are you using? Delta or full etc.) and also if there anything special we could do at our level.

    I don't know what's the /xen path? Install via this docker isn't the official/documented way, so it's hard to assist. Please try to build it according the doc and double check if reverse work as documented too. Otherwise, it's an issue of the Docker you use with our doc, so you'll better time to create an issue on the 3rd party "installer".

    It depends where you decided to install it (basically where you cloned to repo). Also remove the redis database if it's only used for XO.

    If you didn't, I strongly suggest that you watch the live YT webinar I did on XO backups. IIRC, there is a part talking about smart backup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfUqIwT8KzI
