    @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.

    Hi! That's is possible, you just need to shutdown all VMs using disks in there. Then, 4 steps: 0. Find the PBD currently connected to this SR via xe pbd-list Save the PBD information somewhere (xe pbd-param-list uuid=<PBD UUID> Unplug and remove the PBD (xe pbd-unplug and xe pbd-destroy Recreate the PBD by just changing the information using xe pbd-create In short, the PBD is like the "cable" between your host and your SR. Removing it won't remove any actual data, just the link between them. If you recreate it, and replug it, you'll find everything back

    It doesn't work like Citrix patches. Xen Orchestra will send a XAPI command to the host, that will in fact do a yum update command. The result is returned to XO and it will display available updates. We got a system using the best mirror for you: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/mirrors.html#original-mirror

    Hi, Please open a support ticket, that would be easier to assist (you can also open a support tunnel so we can remotely access your XOA to investigate faster, see https://help.vates.fr/kb/en-us/9-xen-orchestra-appliance-xoa/16-create-a-support-tunnel ) edit: don't forget to go in XOA/Support then doing an XOA check, see https://help.vates.fr/kb/en-us/9-xen-orchestra-appliance-xoa/17-xoa-check

    @station-already hehe glad you got it figured out Indeed, management interface changes are pretty "violent" in terms of how much they change and interrupt, so a reboot helps quite often - same for changing the virtual adapter/PIF assigned to a VM - alway a good idea to reboot the VM

    This means your NFS server doesn't support NFSv3.

    This is not exposed in XAPI, so it might require to write a XAPI plugin.

    @mrnaz look for the (first) error in your terminal where you execute the script to upgrade. Probably you need to upgrade the yarn or node version.

    @mauzilla I've done so that I have two separate backup jobs incremental every 4 hours, with exception on weekends. Retention usually 8 days weekly full backups, zstd compression, every Sunday night. This way we have a separate backup from the incremental chain. We also are able to do more maintenance jobs on the nfs server etc during the off hours on the weekend.

    @olivierlambert Thanks, We had been looking at Terraform so I guess we'll keep heading down that path for the time being.
