    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.

    @Danp I agree with you here, but they also mentioned a "different newly created VM and attempted to install Windows 10 with two hard drives" and they only saw one disk, so was seeing if maybe the issue is related and there is something setup wrong. All disks should be visible to the Windows installer.

    Yeah I'd check BIOS settings like @olivierlambert mentioned here. But also, you mention pass through, this isn't pass through this is vGPU which is different (and only supported by some GPUs in specific), which allows you to have a single GPU that can run multiple VMs. If you want passthrough you'll need to follow the docs here https://docs.xcp-ng.org/compute/ This will let you pass through the entire card, make sure to passthrough all devices that are part of the card (so HD audio and stuff too, everything that is under the same PCI address). I've done this with a few GPUs and it works great.

    I can't say for sure as I haven't tested it, but it may "just work" if you swap them out, a lot of systems do support swapping SFP modules without extra work being done. But again, never tested it at all myself.

    @Danp said in Live Migrate between two stand alone pools fails: It's difficult to know for sure where the problem lies since your XO isn't up to date. Wouldn't the host need to already exist in XO in order for it to be a migration target? Yeah, I had two host connected to this XO instance, just to help get an insight to what is where. I've disconnected the target host, and can see the VM on the desired host.

    That's correct, that's why I asked for a spec, so it's easier to build it while knowing exactly what's requested Okay so we can start simple I will make the issue on GH and we'll see how hard it is, to know when we can make it
