    I have two PE R630 and one PE R730xd. The two R630s show the IPMI data in XO but the R730xd does not. If I run ipmitool sensor from an ssh session, I get very similar data back on the 730 and 630. This isn't critical to me, just letting you know that there are cases that functioning ipmitool on a Dell does not seem to be enough to show it. There are some differences in the labels. The R730 has "Fan1 RPM", "Fan2 RPM" while the R630 has "Fan1A", "Fan2A", "Fan1B". Most of the other interesting fields seem to have the same names but the order is a bit different and I didn't do an exhaustive comparison. It's very cool that you are surfacing this data now.

    We are running Xen Orchestra with commit c3dcb and the auth-oidc (v0.4.2) plugin. The users that login are unique and not yet present as local users. The OICD provider is SURF with SRAM: https://www.surf.nl/en/services/identity-access-management/surf-research-access-management They support the following attributes/scopes: https://servicedesk.surf.nl/wiki/spaces/IAM/pages/74226142/Attributes+in+SRAM There are some IPs that need to be accessable: https://servicedesk.surf.nl/wiki/spaces/IAM/pages/74226067/IP+addresses#IPaddresses-OIDC . Outgoing traffic from the server to port 443 is open and works. We did try several settings for the Username field and scopes. For example the following: [image: 1774600482742-plugin-resized.png] This should create a user R123456789 The logging shows the following: mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: Expected values to be strictly equal: mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: + actual - expected mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: + 'undefined' mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: - 'string' If we change it to: [image: 1774600514661-plugin-2-resized.png] The following shows up: mrt 27 09:32:21 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0') I hope this helps to understand the problem. Thanks.

    Version 1.4.0 is released: https://codeberg.org/NiXOA/system/releases/tag/v1.4.0 It includes significant changes and improvements, including: dedicated getting started section, migration to valkey, only needing to clone system, and helper scripts. the xen-orchestra-ce nixpkg now references the libvhdi nixpkg, and the core flake now references and pulls from the xen-orchestra-ce repo as an overlay. System (the user input flake) now uses the Core repo as an overlay, reducing the need to clone both locally AND allowing system to pull new updates and releases from core. XO, and libvhdi as needed. The next goal is: Make an xsconsole-like TUI Automate package updates for libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce using CI/CD pipelines Submit libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce as official nixpkgs

    Oh okay, so it's not a NAT issue then (thought XOA and the host were not together). Might be this issue then, please comment in the GH issue you posted to report you have the same problem edit: with your log too!

    @dr4s1l-0 @Dr4s1l-0 you will not see the config drive mounted in your system, cloud-init only mounts it temporarily very early on in the boot process, copies the found config files off of it, and unmounts it. Mounting it manually will just cause more issues. You can probably see it being mounted early on in the logs in /var/log/cloud-init.log Cloud-init has introduced a ton of bugs this year and has no documentation regarding them, it has been a nightmare to try and track down these issues - I have a support customer with the same issue on recent versions of ubuntu and I've gotten nowhere. At this point I think it's best to take it up with the upstream project, cloud-init - from the XOA/XCP perspective we're doing everything we can, resulting in presenting a properly configured config drive - any issue after that is the cloud-init package

    What does the memory min/max settings look like in the advanced tab of those VM's? You could try to set the dynamic min/max to same values. Could very well be that your guest OS doesn't handle it properly when host is trying to dynamically adjust the available VM memory. Although this shouldn't happen (afaik) if there's plenty of memory available on the host, but worth a try at least.

    Hi, The Docker container isn't coming from us, so there's no way to know where is the problem. Please contact the 3rd party provider for this Docker repo.

    VDI Won't Coalesce (shows orphaned but isn't)

    So another odd thing I'm seeing with this VDI, it's showing the size incorrectly. It shows 180GB of 180GB used up (on thin provisioned SR, both the old and new are), however the VM is only using 140GB of that 180GB. Something definitely went wrong with this VDI during transfer, just not sure what. I will say that I increased the VDI size again and now it displays more accurately, showing 180GB of 185GB used (both in XOA and with vhd-util). Almost behaving as if this was at one point on a thick provisioned SR or something. Just to avoid issues I'm maybe tempted to create a fresh VHD, copy data to that, then delete this one.

    It's not only this code. But in general, a good way to manage that is: "every message in CAPS is coming from the lower layer" (ie not XO).
