    @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.

    @robyt There are no logs at this time (unless executed as part of a backup), only a notification at the end of the execution. We are currently working on a global task/log system that will be used throughout XO (Restore Health Check is obviously on our todo list)

    Hi! I was able to isolate the issue: It does happen, if NBD is activated on one of the network interfaces! xe network-param-remove param-name=purpose param-key=nbd uuid=xxxxxxxx --> Disabling "useNBD" did not solve the issue. I had to disable the feature in XCP-ng

    @florent Nothing large. Either 10 or 20GB. I'm thinking it's due to the same issue as here.

    So you are using a thick provisioned storage. Any snapshot will create a base copy, but also an active disk (which will be the total size of the disk). You can't cheat on that. Transforming a snapshot into a VM will create a new active drive that will use the total size of the disk.

    @ysageev we're fisrt making the transfer from vmware work through an HTTP link in xo-cli. After this we'll do a UX, allowing a user to migrate from XO , it will probably be a three steps form : connect to an host, choose which VM(s) to migrate , transfer progress Then, depending on the priority , we may make other transport ( for example if you mounted the VMFS datastore in XO, copied files locally or through SSH) By the way, we fixed a timeout bug in xo-server, that was cutting the vmdk/ova import around the 5mn mark, you may retry the old method

    Thanks @lawrencesystems - I've finally got around to watching that video, explains the content well, quite interesting to see that happening in real time when the RAM is being land-grabbed by other VMs when things are getting full based on the different configuration settings.

    Doesn't matter, the VMware script is available in there too. Just switch to the vmware release channel and follow instructions there: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/6714/vmware-migration-tool-we-need-your-feedback/
