    @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.

    Sadly, it's hard to know what happened without getting the errors you had (eg when you tell: "VM will not start" is very vague).

    @jivanpal Right; I simply meant you could start using these to track from this point onward. Also other options, like Cacti, MRTG, etc.

    @olivierlambert said in Managing different locations from one XO?: The code is open source but you need to install it and configure it yourself (if you are using XO from Github) OK, that makes sense.

    @Andrew it seems that the merge fails but the watcher still report progress ( which doesn't move) Can you see if there is an error before ?

    You can't add a host into another pool until it's "blank". It's hard to "merge" two pools together. So first, migrate VMs to the destination, clean the host and THEN add it to the pool.

    No need to update XCP-ng, we don't want to introduce a dedicated agent. It will rely on another mechanism. We'll publish about it before the end of this summer

    XO 5.72 Storage Maintenance

    @geoffbland Hi, thanks for the reply... That's what I wound up doing, installing XO from source on a Raspberry PI that I had. I used it to restore my XO image from backup, once I did that I had to restore all of my guests (12 of them total). I could never figure out how to get my SR out of maintenance mode, so I wound up creating a new SR and restored each backup to the new SR. All back to normal after restoring the backup. Thank god XO backup works so well! I learned the hard way that I need to move my XO disks to local storage before I enter maintenance mode for my iSCSI SR... Oh well, lesson learned!

    Hi @olivierlambert we have just come across the same issue again today after the latest update. Please see below the log file for the delta backup schedule that performed full backups instead. I can't seem to find anything in the logs to help. 2022-07-12T16_00_00.013Z-backupNG.txt

    @pdonias said in Netbox Plugin Enhancements: Why do you have those interfaces? Could you explain your use case and why they're not visible in XO? Sorry, you're right, hosts are not synced for a simple reason: there is no such thing as host types in Netbox (or did we miss something?). So we only group VMs by pools (clusters) and that's it. Those interfaces are for example wireguard interfaces or any other virtual interfaces. Obv they are not in xo because they are virtual, but in netbox they are needed because I deploy all my wireguard stuff with them. The host thing already was answered, there are devices which you then can link to Pools. KR Peter
