Thank you all for this wonderful information.

@Andrew I’ve started to experiment with Duet + OpenCore chain loading but I'm getting the same results… I’ve tested it now on two different Legacy Machines, so either I’m setting it up wrong or Duet is the issue all around the baord… why could Duet potentially not be happy? It’s not my target system, it’s gotta be something to do with the file structure or the DuetPkg itself, I've also checked for Debug Logs from OpenCore, seems it ain't booting at all, so it's definitely an issue early on.

@tjkreidl BIOS

@olivierlambert Unfortunately I've moved VMs around (this is all testing at the moment) however there were other VMs with static=dynamic=2Gb which I could move. Could you please either explain or point me to the documentation where I can understand how your comment works, please?

Hmm I would also check for BIOS/firmware update

What's the purpose of this other VNC daemon on TCP/9500? From the Xen Project wiki page on XCP: The ports used for VNC console are 5901-5999, and the ports used for text console are 9501-9599. AFAICT: TCP/5900 & TCP/9500 belong to Dom0... # xenstore-ls /local/domain/0 control = "" feature-poweroff = "1" feature-reboot = "1" feature-suspend = "1" domid = "0" name = "Domain-0" vncterm-pid = "1276" console = "" vnc-port = "5900" tc-port = "9500" vm = "/vm/7a4488c6-d4ac-4aaf-83f0-fb6d3f557f48" But I don't know how to connect to DomU #1's console because there is no entry in Xenstore for DomU #1: # xenstore-ls /local/domain/1 xenstore-ls: xs_directory (/local/domain/1): No such file or directory Ideas? Suggestions? Eric P. Reno, Nevada

You could maybe raise the memory a bit, but yeah, the software RAID thing might hurt more than anything else Maybe switch to full soft RAID with mdadm, that might be better

My particular setup may be a bit weird but here's a better description. I have my primary pool of servers running at home, and XOA runs there. I have a site-to-site VPN between home and the remote location so I can reach the remote host which is also managed through my XOA instance through the VPN tunnel. I don't need any proxies for this to work because I setup a VPN tunnel and XOA and the remote host have direct IP connectivity. On the remote host, I have a VM that runs in an isolated network not reachable from home, so I cannot connect directly to the guest with VNC. If I'm connected to my home network I can see this guest through XOA. If however I connect to the VPN service at the remote end (different than the site-to-site tunnel) to get access to normal resources on the remote end and also want to use my test VM it becomes difficult to reach the VM because I can't reach my XOA instance back at home easily. I'm not sure a proxy would solve this. I followed the instructions to test XO Lite and that looks like it is sort of what I am looking for. When I log into my remote host I can see the dashboard and the list of guests, but I don't see the console for the guests. Is the console supposed to be present or is the plan for it to be exposed in the future? If so, that would solve my problem.

Ah great news then!

@mersper Thank you. I will re-think the setup. Having 256 threads in one VM isn't perhaps possible. I have scheduled a meeting with the software manufacturer to talk about network rendering etc. It might be better to have serveral VMs with pinned CPUs and run render jobs. I'll update on the progress

Yes, this is something I would double check: NIC issue or NIC firmware.

@tuxen Thank You, looks like it's booting on the selected cpu scaling now.

Looks like the job for a PXE server, like you would do for physical machines.

@Magoo-0 I can't thank you for the help you are giving me I took some data here they are xl info.txt

Yes I had Now at least everyone is aware on the more pressing requirements on Windows. Next steps will depends on what we can do with the Xen Project and Citrix (also aware about this).

@Darkbeldin Seems like the slave still has it registered. When I try to add the slave to XCP-ng Center, it says it's still a part of a pool and I need to connect to that. The master just has no record and can't add the slave back because it's already connected.
