    @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 XO and XO Proxy are using the same code and the same backup workers to run backup jobs. If there are differences in perf, IMHO, they come from the appliances themselves and/or their networks. Keep in mind that data flows from the host, via XO or XO proxy, to the remote storage. Maybe the proxy is further from the host and/or the remote regarding the network?

    Ok, I'll look into it some more. Right now, I'm just looking for XOCE to be hosted in the XOSTOR to avoid any issues with an NFS in my homelab going down. I have a spare M.2 NVME in each host that I can use, I'm pretty sure that my XOCE isn't very big.

    That's correct. It's the new "reference" for the following delta, so we need to be able to read the full when we restore the backup (or a file) or when we coalesce (when reaching the retention). That's why compressing the full isn't trivial.

    Wouldn't that support something like doesn't match pattern? I got similar monitoring, although i have a custom script that does the check but essentially i just look for status being successand if not, then alert.

    Same here with a German keyboard where backshlashes require using the AltGR key. With most other (especially when cascaded) remove viewers, hitting Ctr, Alt and AlgGr keys alone helps to get shift states back in order, but not here. BTW I also noted that hitting the RDP button, didn't lauch RDP, just lost the mouse but not they keyboard, which is also rather strange.

    It's an RDP URL available in your browser. You need to have configured your browser with a working app to link the rdp:// URL to your remote desktop application.

    @wlp94114 I had the same error. My ISO repository is on an SMB share, but the files were not readable by the ID I had mounted the share with in Xen. I corrected the permission on the file, and could get the VM to start.

    @thenorthernlight I doubt it's necessary. My XO is built entirely from source. It's probably just missing a dependency in the image I downloaded. (From here, in case anyone is curious: https://github.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater) Thanks!

    @ronivay You make a good Point. What I didn't know, that I do now, I wasn't "naming" my schedules. Once you do that, it replaces the Cron time. So I called my things like "Daily @ 4:30 - Diff" but obviously naming schemes are broad.
