    Hi, Do you have any error message? What's happening? Anything visible or not?

    @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?

    @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.

    @julien-f Agreed... I will add (just for future reference) that I did confirm that I was on the very latest versions of xo-server at the time... in fact, I made sure to apply all updates and reboot the Xen server before submitting the ticket. Nothing seemed to work... even multiple reboots, etc. Once @Danp made mention of the Nodejs version and I updated from v18.18.2 to v18.19.1 everything immediately started working. I made no other changes after applying the Nodejs update. So while that may not have been the cause, it somehow fixed whatever was ailing me. I have no explanation either, other than the fact that making that change is what took me from the feature not working to the feature working.

    @jedimarcus yarn dev start only the watcher(s) you can start the server by using cd packages/xo-server and then yarn start you can use nodemon instead of node if you want autoreload

    @Danp Yes. I have 3 VMs on this host plus the XOA. All using the same eth1. I'm able to reach https://xen-orchestra.com/ from the network and other VMs. Although in the Internet connectivity: Error: above it is being directed to non SSL connection. Could it be that the registration cannot handle redirects? JB

    Even with a sfc and cleanup, manually reinstalling the package caused the same behavior. I've got backups of this system and will build a template from the working backup for if it goes sideways. I've got other stuff to handle.

    Well, that worked and the VM booted.... Windows joins domain, and.... /something went wrong, redeployment required/. No desktop, no apparent way to check for errors. We're beyond the scope of this thread. Thank you! Serendipitously, someone from Netwrix called me soon after that. I told him I know the big two commercial virtualization names are supported, but all this /can/ be imported here... I also gave him a quick elevator pitch on XCP-ng, for as much good as that might do with a kinda new sales guy. From here on out, if their engineers can't help, I'm off to find something else.

    @florent said in Import from VMware: @Olest that's a nice catch, every day I discover new limits of the vmware licensing . At least we could catch the error and show something useful to the user Just wait, everything free from VMWare is going away, so it'll just be the assumption that if you should be able to do it, you won't be able to.

    @mestafin XOA/XO is an appliance with a web UI that should run as bare-metal or virtualized instance. It is a multi user management solution, that can handle different pools and user. Backup of a VM allows for easy restore. No need to install it on a notebook.
