    @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.

    @Danp Thanks, yes of course. I got excited about fixing my problems and reported too early Well, the VM has been working fine since the export / import. I can see both drives. Although the VM running fine, since the last post I had to address two related VDIs that had been connected to the Control Domain. One being million_D and the other million_D (with a camera icon). These probably ended up here because of a aborted / faulty snapshot or backup. I disconnected them .. checked a few things ... and then forgot them. Everything is running fine now. For future googlers: During the problem solving, I found out some pretty helpful info using tail -f /var/log/SMlog. To me, this issue is solved. Thank you all for the feedback.

    @florent No, I did not see that in the logs. I did see this problem is bigger than I thought. It happens more often than just causing a VM backup failure. It happens during the merge or other checks which causes the backup process to destroy (remove) parts of other VM backups. Clean VM directory parent VHD is missing parent VHD is missing parent VHD is missing some VHDs linked to the backup are missing some VHDs linked to the backup are missing some VHDs linked to the backup are missing some VHDs linked to the backup are missing and Clean VM directory VHD check error some VHDs linked to the backup are missing

    If I felt that way and we never had issues in the past, it's maybe for a reason. I'm a very patient person (as you can read since years here). So you shouldn't be saddened but more trying to understand something you provoked (it's still not clear that you understand it). I think it's important to know when not to push too far, and you were clearly too far Next time you are frustrated on an open source software you use for free (likely in production otherwise you wouldn't have been that frustrated), remember that being kind will be more productive in the end. This will be better for everyone. Also I hope it's more clear for you that using things on master was never meant to be under our internal QA since it's not a controlled environment (but it's documented with big warnings. Maybe I'll make it even more clear in the doc, I don't know, I'm surprised you didn't get it since you are using it since a while. Maybe this misunderstanding explained part of your frustration).

    @jcdick1 I run opnsense on xcp-ng personally as well and use their packaged tools without issue, the only time I've gotten this behavior is when I hot-added interfaces and it changed the order of interfaces. If that's not it, I'm really not sure what would be causing this One last thing you can try in case it's a weird cash issue is (inside XOA) go to settings > servers, click the green connected button next to your xcp-ng server to disconnect it from xoa - then wait a couple seconds and click it again to reconnect it

    It is in the same place in XO. Network tab of the host. Change the Mode from None to Static (or DHCP). This should get you a pop up to enter the address, netmask, etc.

    @florent Limiting concurrency did not fix my S3 backup problem, but it's working again after updating the build. So I guess it's resolved.

    You should probably be able to fix this issue by installing the ntfs-3g package. As you mentioned you're running it on a Synology, you can do that in DSM by opening Docker -> Container -> Select your container -> Details -> Terminal and enter the below in the console. apk update apk add ntfs-3g Let us know if it helped.

    @olivierlambert it is pretty outdated And this is only proposition to add such option to docs.
