    @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.

    Sounds doable, but it's another feature in the backlog We really need to move forward with XO 6. However, can you: check if there isn't already something in XO Github repo on that topic if not, please create it This way, we are sure it won't disappear

    @stevezemlicka Thanks for mentioning this and reporting your "mistake" on the forums. I had been banging my head against the wall for a day before finding this post and realising the obvious.

    What do you mean by moving? Moving the disk or just the VM memory?

    Okay, cool down and let me explain a bit That's because those templates are not part of Xen Orchestra software itself, because those VM templates are things we build and assemble on our part, then upload to our own servers, hosted for people registered with the virtual appliance (XOA). So using XO from the sources is not losing any XO features because XOA hub templates aren't part of it This is extra stuff outside XO scope, that we give for free for our XOA users (yes, XOA Free users). So we do not get any money for this. It's just operating systems pre-configured with Cloudinit installed (or sometimes not). Again, it's not part of XO itself, and nothing prevent you to build your own templates, ready with Cloudinit. I hope it's more clear now.

    @olivierlambert said in Warnings & errors in journalctl: Do you have multiple XOs accessing the same remote? There's only one backup job running from my XO VM. There is an active instance of XOA, but it is just used for testing and is sitting idle.

    You need to restart the service as root/sudoer, eg sudo systemctl restart xoa-updater. Note that you can have XOA support with our ticket system, even on XOA Free If you want someone at Vates dedicated to your issue, please create a ticket!

    Since the update I have run full backup that have taken over an hour to complete due to their size and many smaller delta backups and the error has not come up again. I assume whatever was causing the error was fixed in the xo-server 5.84.2 update.

    @dariosplit said in Copy an existing backup: For example in pfsense I copy the firewall rules and change the name of it, and of the port while everything stays the same. I have a lot of VM and for each VM i have several rules for backup, (time and place). I would remove copy it just a unnecessary repeat I have been using tags together with smart backup. This works really well.

    "Recovery" is only an option for PV guest (not HVM), when you want to re-use the initial bootloader. It has nothing to do to recover anything else. You should be in HVM for all your VMs by the way, it's more secure and even faster.
