    @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.

    This was ultimately traced to a currupted metadata on the VHD and to a stuck tapdisk process on the host where the VM was running. Solved thanks to a very persistent member of support. Thanks Jon!

    @sluflyer06 the warning on XO is to discourage the mass. But you can really try you can make a config.toml file in ~/.config/xo-server/config.*.toml , it should be loaded , and won't be changed by an XO update . https://github.com/JsCommunity/app-conf

    Then I don't see why it would be a XO problem FYI, we use JSON-RPC over websockets. Hopefully, someone at Teleport community would be able to pinpoint the problem

    Hi, In XO Hub, you already have a Debian 11 which is Cloudinit ready This is more a Cloudinit question BTW, you should ask their community. Frankly, Cloudinit doc isn't great and many things changed a lot

    Restarting the toolstack on AHP101 (which was the pool master) cleared the tasks. Hopefully no long term side effects

    @mauzilla There is no easy way to achieve that, it requires updating a number of other_config entries manually. If you have a paid subscription, open a support ticket and I'll take care of it for you

    Delta backups: Restore issue

    Solved

    @MrNaz It merges the past delta backup into the past full backup. Then it does a delta backup..... then you repeat.... Since you only keep one copy it just keeps merging the delta into the full backup. The delta backup depends on the old full backup existing and being correct. When it does a "full backup", it does a full backup of the data not just a delta (the changes). That way it does not merge the new full backup into the old full backup (or depend upon any old backups). Doing a full backup is a good checkpoint in case the old data (full or deltas) is corrupted. So having the retention set to 1 basically means you only have the most current backup saved. With backups every 12 hours you might want to set the retention to 20 so you have about 10 days of backups and every 5 days (10 backups) it will do a full backup. Or set it higher if you have more backup space.

    Another option is to add a new admin user using xo-cli. Then login to XO as the new user and clear the OTP for the existing user.

    Hi, No easily, no (at XCP-ng level at least). Maybe in the future with Open metrics everywhere. You can already track a VM metrics whatever they move to by having VM metrics from within the VM itself (eg VM is sending its metrics via netdata to a central netdata that will store them in Prometheus for example).

    So I'm very very sorry for digging this up; I had this XO installation halted for a while wanted to come back to it. In the meanwhile the resolution for the error presented on the initial post: 2022-09-22T10:50:18.823Z xo:xo-server ERROR unhandled error event { error: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:6379 at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1161:16) at TCPConnectWrap.callbackTrampoline (node:internal/async_hooks:130:17) { errno: -111, code: 'ECONNREFUSED', syscall: 'connect', address: '::1', port: 6379 } } Solution: Edit /etc/redis.conf; Comment the bind directive; Save, restart redis, done.
