    @Razor_648 While I was writing my previous message, I have been reminded that there are also issues with LVHDoISCSI SR and CBT, you should disable CBT on your backup job and on all VDI on the SR. It might help with the issue.

    So that explains it then Free BSD boots and since the kernel loads successfully the PV drivers, it's fine by us.

    Hi, I'm currently testing deployments with pulumi using packer templates. So far the basics work as expected but I'm stuck on a setting issue that seems to affect both pulumi and terraform providers. As far as I know there is no way to set the memory as static or changing memory_min when creating a VM from a template. The template was created with 1cpu and 2GB of RAM [image: 1752573420785-screenshot-2025-07-15-at-11.56.01.png] The VM created from this template using pulumi was assigned 2cpus and 4GB of RAM, however this only sets memory_max [image: 1752573490942-screenshot-2025-07-15-at-11.56.21.png] I found the following post that talks about this: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/5628/xenorchestra-with-terraform and also the folllowing github issue https://github.com/vatesfr/terraform-provider-xenorchestra/issues/211 Manually setting the memory limits after VM creation defeats the purpose of automation. I suppose that implementing those settings in the relevant providers is a core feature. In most cases, VMs need static memory limits. In the meantime, is there any workaround that I should investigate or anything that I missed ? slax81 created this issue in vatesfr/terraform-provider-xenorchestra open Dynamic memory control #211

    @julien-f Backup files check found no problems, so I tried to restore again and it works. No changes or updates in XO, no changes on vhd or json files (same dates and sizes). Only think I did was detach and attach backup repository (settings - remotes) which I tried before with no luck.

    In theory, static min is bundled in the template and you shouldn't use less than that. If you still want to do it, consider it as "advanced", and do it with xe

    @ruskofd is right. You should be able to use the cloud_network_config attribute to achieve this. The following code is untested but should launch a vm with a static IP. Please see the xenorchestra_vm resource docs and the cloud-init networking v1 docs for more details. resource "xenorchestra_vm" "static_ip_vm" { .... cloud_network_config = <<EOF network: version: 1 config: - type: physical name: eth0 subnets: - type: static address: STATIC_IP/24 gateway: GATEWAY_IP dns_nameservers: - 8.8.8.8 EOF } Let me know if you have any questions or issues using cloud_network_config, As for the blog post, the VM would have been assigned an ip address via dhcp (assuming the guest OS had cloud-init installed which was true for the VM template in the blog post).

    @jedimarcus said in Clarification on an Advanced setting: @eangulus With MaxCPU you can do the increase WITHOUT shutting down... I'll complete this with an example: create a VM with 4 vCPUs and Max vCPU = 8. you can now change the number of vCPUs from anything between 1 and 8 without shutting the VM down

    @julien-f Thank you for explaining your plans. I am very eager to see the new XO 6! Perhaps a Christmas present for all of us? I just realised I have one more "peeve" with XOA. That is the console view which does not work well with Swedish keyboard layout. For example pressing Alt-Gr+2 to get at-sign '@' doesn't work. It also crashes the keyboard input so it doesn't release the alt-key. This always works correctly in XCP-ng center. The problem is in both Linux and Windows guests.

    Have you checked our guide to install Windows drivers? Check https://xcp-ng.org/docs/guests.html#windows If you still have issues, with your current XOA account in trial, you can open support tickets already so we can take a look remotely (https://support.vates.fr)

    It's a little different, but if in Xen Orchestra you go: Home => Hosts => <host> => Network there I can see my storage IP addresses comparable to that "IP Address Configuration" part. Except that here, all the networks are listed in the same list. Can you see if that's what you are looking for?
