    @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 said in XOA Proxy Error when updating: @bullerwins XO Proxy Appliance deployment is not supported in XO built from sources. my bad, it used to work a few months back I believe @olivierlambert said in XOA Proxy Error when updating: I missed that in the original message, indeed FYI @bullerwins there's no such thing as XOA built from sources, you have either: XOA is Xen Orchestra virtual Appliance, that's the VM we distribute with pro support and QA/stable channel, updater and such XO from the sources is from Github, without pro support but community support, no QA no stable version, no udpater and such Thanks, I got confused with the naming, I'm using the second option. As a workaround I used a VPN to manage the remote XCP-ng host, thanks!

    I can't follow what's done in 3rd party scripts, and it might be not trivial to find problems with them (if it's a problem due to the script or not). But before pointing any finger (I don't like that ) I would prefer to check with a fully up to date XOA on latest release channel and see if you have the same issue. At least, we'll be able to compare the behavior

    Hi, I'm not aware of such feature on our side, you should ask AWS on how to import a XenServer/XCP-ng VM into EC2.

    Quick note: XOA is for our Xen Orchestra virtual Appliance. You are using XO from the sources So it's just "XO". Anyway, indeed, it seems that your forever service isn't able to kill the process therefore, keep it.

    So what you need is more something like backup tiering (or secondary backup). This feature is currently a work in progress by @florent

    It means one VM got a backup job that's not in your current XO. Are you sure you restored your previous XO config?

    @olivierlambert ok. For info: xo-server 5.113.0 / xo-web 5.116.1 Installed this version XO yesterday and tried a smart reboot with 14 vm's running. Windows and linux vm's. Of which some linux vm's have NFS shares which I use for ISO files and making backups with XO. These I normally have to disconnect before I can do a reboot of the host otherwise it will not reboot and had expected that this would not be necessary now. It took a very long time for all vm's to enter suspend mode (>2 hours) and the server did not reboot. Probably ran into not shutting down the NFS shares. I finish much faster if I manually shut down all vm's (and disconnect the NFS shares) reboot the host and restart the vm's. But maybe I am overlooking something then I would like to hear about it.

    Okay so you are right: we did not test this scenario, so that's why the error is cryptic. I'm adding @Enishowk in the loop so he can put that in our backlog

    If I'm being honest here I don't really find the messages as annoying as you are making them out to be. Sure if I had a choice I would want them gone, but it's really not a big deal, 1-2 clicks and they are gone until the next time I login. I also kinda like the reminder on the sidebar about no support, helps me remember that A. I'm in my lab environment and B. I'm using a from the sources version so I need to manually do updates etc.....
