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

    @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

    @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.

    @olivierlambert Yes, i will update and have a look if it changes the behaviour anyhow. "For the rest, it's hard to answer without digging more." That`t exactly was i was looking for: Any Information where i can dig deeper? I`m looking for logs or traces of errors or so. It is not that i just wan`t this particular problem to be solved In my limited understanding of interal processes i think somehow a backup process dies and xo-server does not report or recognize this. But shouldn`t it somehow?

    @olivierlambert Oh nice, hope it's not too cold over there. It's 9AM over here in Maryland and a bit nippy but not too cold. Nope, no host or pool logs available (both are empty). Then again, I cleared all the alerts from the dashboard earlier this morning, so not sure if that's what wiped all the logs. I'm not too worried, as this is a testing environment so I'm using this host to do a lot of learning.

    @Gheppy I am not an expert on the network part but I can help on the NBD part We added some info in this PR https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/6596, it should be merged in this form or another in master in a few days. It will give the user more info on the NBD usage and the cause (misconfiguration, or network error) Then if XO ( or the proxy) can't connect to the host through the NBD (for example with a network filtering/ routing), it will fall back to the reliable (but non parallelizable) api call Finally , the backup done with NBD or the legacy api call will produce exactly the same data so they are compatibles, but using the same target (as in the same directory , same remote and same VMs) for multiple job can lead to complex support tickets with interesting race conditions. I would advise to only use the same remote/directory only if the backups jobs does not concern the same VMs fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed feat(@xen-orchestra/backups): more information on nbd backups #6596

    @cdbessig that's strange Since S3 remote are only able to store blocks, the option is enforced on save ( without any uI) I tested locally and the options seems to be there. Can you show me a screenshot of the backup job configuration ?

    @trent234 Interesting, good to know. I do know that XCP-ng only officially supports 7 network interfaces, so not really surprised by that. It supports more VHDs though so feel like I shouldn't be seeing this error.

    I believe this is a known issue (https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/5973) that is unlikely to be fixed in XO5. We'll need to wait for @pdonias to be back from holidays to have more info on this. just-333 created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed Error on vm.set from Jobs tab in XO web GUI #5973

    @sumansaha In summary , I've deleted Orphan VDIs from Dashboard->health . But in deletion, I've maintained the sequence of their age.It has taken 6 hours, though that depends on the VM size.

    You can't delete a base copy. You need to understand how it works before doing dangerous operations. A base copy exists if there's a snapshot. If you have 0 snap and still base copy, it could be either: because the coalesce isn't finished because the coalesce doesn't work In both case, you have to take a look at your SMlog. If you have no idea about it, you should either get pro support or start to read the doc in more details You can start here: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/storage.html#coalesce

    @julien-f The new update seems to be working correctly now. Thanks for the quick update fix. The backup cache fixes/cleanup made a huge difference (improvement). I was trying to figure out what was going on with my backups as they were running but were missing from the restore list. After the cache cleanup, it showed 3-4 times the number of restore points! All the missing stuff and more. It took some time to clean up all the extra stuff, but backups seem to be back on track again.

    @anturk What errors do you see in /var/log./SMlog related to this? Have you run ifconfig or netstat to look for network transmission errors? Is this a new setup and if so, are you sure the cables are of good quality? Is this a dedicated NIC or is it part of a VLAN?
