    @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

    @lsouai-vates we should try to reproduce and if we can, to fix it ASAP. Thanks!

    @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.

    Just if somebody else is searching for the same thing, although it is not directly related to XOA: If you want to get these alerts by mail and you are not using XCP-ng-Center, you can activate them with: xe pool-param-set uuid=pool-uuid other-config:mail-destination=mail@example.com xe pool-param-set uuid=pool-uuid other-config:ssmtp-mailhub=mailserverip:port KPS

    @geoffbland No problem. It's the first time I see this error with tapdisk (and it's it's even more surprising to have it on this type of SR...). It had all been working fine and I had not changed anything on the share - it just stopped working In this case, maybe there was a problem with the XAPI, a lock on the device or something else. Not easy to find the cause without remote access. Don't hesitate to ping us if this problem comes back.

    Migrating large disk - any risks?

    It's more a less that. In short, the new disk is created on both sides, and blocks mirrored on both sides. First, the read only "parent" VDI with frozen blocks is copied, when it's done, the VM is briefly paused, the memory migrated to the destination and then unpaused on destination. Consequently, only the blocks written during 11 hours will use space for new blocks on the source SR (and destination, since it's mirrored).

    @sbz71 The stable channel should not have the issue, not sure when we'll release a fix for latest. If you have an XO subscription, you can open a support ticket and a support tunnel and we'll be able to patch your install My bad, I misunderstood the question

    @creoleMalady This does not help you, but my setup works with MinIO S3 (current version minio_20220607003341.0.0_amd64.deb) and current XO commit a5e9f. I'm running XO commit 379e4 (June 2nd) and it has been working correctly with Wasabi. I updated XO to commit a5e9f (current master) on a second server and backup still works for me to MinIO.... Delta Backup as a full and as a delta with and without merge.

    Try to disable/enable autostart in Advanced section of your VM. That might do the trick.

    Hello @geoffbland Thanks for the feedback To be fair, we added that precisely because our community/users asked for it! I wouldn't have thought of this by myself. That's the power of community, and for that, I thank you all!

    @Andrew thank you , it's NFS mount yes. i perform forget and remount and now is ok, most probably i chose older storage from another host, the menu to select storage for VM showing everything associated with the pool and sometimes this is confusing. Thanks for your comment.

    That's because doing a snapshot will have consequences on the SR. That's why we restricted the permissions for doing snapshot.
