    @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.

    If you want to login manually without any SSH key, you have to add a password for the account (passwd). Then you can log in with your Debian user with this password.

    Saving Backup Remote Data Causes XOA To Disconnect From XCP-ng Servers Temporarily

    @Danp I'll do some more digging on this once I have some time and see if I can find anything in the logs. I didn't have a chance to look yesterday when I was working on this. It might be worth noting that I was trying to setup an S3 remote, not sure if it would happen with another one and maybe it has something to do with timing out (was trying to hook into Backblaze which doesn't seem to be working right either, works fine on all my other machines running TrueNAS and stuff but can't get it connected with XCP-ng, other S3 places like Wasabi and Amazon work fine though). I'll update this thread with more info once I do some more testing, might have time this weekend but not sure yet, and this is in a production environment, so I do want to be careful about causing potential issues.

    Zstd is for XVA file format compression. There's no compression on delta, because we need to merge them on destination, when retention is reached (inside the backup repository). So it doesn't really worth it (since you'll have to decompress them to do the merge).

    Problems with trying to recover data after full local storage

    Hello, mtill ! In this situation, you may try to recover the stored data on the RAM because, in your case, the data was overwritten in the RAM. The number of recovered files by this method depends on the RAM size, the size of files that was overwritten by this way and by the time running this process. I can suggest you use a specialized recovery service like raid recovery service to ensure that you will restore more data you can. I wish you a bit of good luck.

    I agree, I don't think it's a technical limitation, just a use case not "covered"

    @cyrus104 Hi, No, there is no way to enable HA at XO level and it is on purpose. Enabling HA as to be taken very seriously, it can cause pool wide crippling issues so we considerer doing it through CLI and be aware of what you really do being mandatory.

    You would have to write a daemon, listing for webhooks, parse it, and then send it to Mattermost with the expected payload.

    I would suggest to NOT expose the host directly on the outside. Especially such an old version with a lot of security issues.

    @olivierlambert said in Migrating from Intel -> AMD: I don't know, but what I can tell is the fact I myself migration my own production from Intel to AMD without any issue, so I really wonder why your guest can't boot Well it's weird... because happens with all Ubuntu 16 hosts too. For this Debian in particular, even after upgrading to bullseye, still won't boot on any AMD host, only on Intel ones. Finally I just reinstalled from scratch on an AMD host and migrated the data.
