    @Andrew said in Is it possible to convert a BIOS to UEFI and introduce vTPM into an existing VM?: I have not converted windows as I normally started newer versions as UEFI and older version work better with BIOS For peeps that stumble on this post looking for answers, the answer is yes you can for Windows. You can use the built in Windows mbr2gpt program to do so. However, things to consider before attempting are? You can only have 3 partitions on the C driver. This is due to MBR only supporting 4. the 4th partition will be used during conversion it also has to shrink some space from the end of the drive You might have to move the recovery partition if it is at the end of the disk Basic steps are, to first run the command below. This will tell you if conversion should works mbr2gpt /validate /allowfullos Then the following to start the conversion mbr2gpt /convert /allowfullos Hope it helps someone

    @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.

    On the remote side, right? It won't be "dedup" if it's your question (for now at least). We are thinking on a smart way to dedup it efficiently It's not trivial because we don't have a lot of control on the host itself, but we might find solutions.

    @nraynaud well i just used the datastore browser to download the vmdk. i did the same thing with some other (smaller) VMs without any problems. All of this from the same ESXi host. Thanks for looking into it though, i will try the export VM way next but have to find the right time for a shutdown ...

    That's correct @mauzilla We use a VHD chain on destination so it's equivalent to get "snapshots" of a VM So it's delta everywhere with the same full parent for the same original VM.

    The delta isn't computed over the network, but directly on the host itself

    @slynch OK, that's very good news then! Debian was still having issues where any configuration applied via cloud-init would just be added to the existing default DHCP config, unless you took care to build the VM without the default interfaces config beforehand.

    @olivierlambert said in PCI Passthru Error not working on 8.2 but was 8.1: Hi! IOMMU should be enable in the BIOS. Double check that Also please share your grub config to see if it's correctly written. After playing with it more, the issue appears to be passing multiple devices of the same type. In this case RADEON WX7100. If I take it down to one card it works as expected. If I add more than 1, pick any quantity, then I run into the issue. The issue goes away once I reboot the host, and then I can assign a card, but the second the VM reboots the error comes back

    This can happen from time to time on master (despite we do every "broken" code in dedicated branches), sometimes you can have a surprise. That's why it's important, before anything, to get the latest commit and rebuild, to see if the issue persist. If it's the case, then reporting the problem will be helpful

    The best way would be to use XO Proxies as "Reverse HTTP proxies" (or any reverse proxy in each DC) and then tell XO to connect to those proxies. This way, each DC will have only one entry point exposed to the outside, and you could manage that with your central XO. This is a subject we planned to work in the next months. If you have a support subscription, please open a ticket so we can do initial test inside your infrastructure

    @magtech If you want to do a XOA quick deploy, you need a working internet connecting and outbound port tcp/8888 must be open to the internet. New install of XCP-ng, can't complete Quick Deploy might help?

    Yes, that's what i want to do. But at the moment it create an snapshot for each cron that I made and I want to have only one snapshot and to be reset to full backup on Saturday. In essence, I want to have only one snapshot to an VM no matter how many cron I have attached to the replication. In this case, I want to reset the Continuous Replication chain when the server is least busy, not after a number of replications
