    For accessing a Windows VM from a remote Windows workstation using RDP multiple monitors can be used by selecting "Use all my monitors for remote session" checkbox on the display tab of the Remote Desktop Connection application on the Windows workstation. This works for me with 3 monitors.

    You should probably ask OpenNebula community What do you want to use/need with it exactly?

    I never said THAT was impossible, as long the OS kernel started, you can use whatever drivers you like. I was just answering the fact PVHVM was a real mode since the start, and it's not. You can't have a PVHVM template, it doesn't make sense (unless you have already an OS installed). That's all I said You are moving the goalposts every time.

    @sapcode Found a description here: https://linux.die.net/man/1/xm But no idea why it starts some CPUs in the pause state.... Will do some testing with C states and govenor performance.... STATES The State field lists 6 states for a Xen Domain, and which ones the current Domain is in. r - running      The domain is currently running on a CPU b - blocked     The domain is blocked, and not running or runnable. This can be caused because the domain is waiting on IO (a traditional wait state) or has gone to sleep because there was nothing else for it to do. p - paused       The domain has been paused, usually occurring through the administrator running xm pause. When in a paused state the domain will still consume allocated resources like memory, but will not be eligible for scheduling by the Xen hypervisor. s - shutdown   The guest has requested to be shutdown, rebooted or suspended, and the domain is in the process of being destroyed in response. c - crashed      The domain has crashed, which is always a violent ending. Usually this state can only occur if the domain has been configured not to restart on crash. See xmdomain.cfg for more info. d - dying         The domain is in process of dying, but hasn't completely shutdown or crashed.

    Any thoughts on this topic? I noticed that Alpine from XO HUB didn't use irqbalance by default.

    This means your XAPI is down for some reasons. Try a xe-toolstack-restart or check the logs as explained in our documentation: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/troubleshooting.html

    So when you live migrate a VM, Xen will decrease memory dynamically to the minimum. If you didn't plan correctly dynamic min to a value that's OK for your system, you might have memory problems for your operating system (eg if you system can't survive with less than 4GiB RAM and the dynamic min is set to 3GiB, this will cause problems!). So planning is important. There's some edge cases also in migration when you have to tell Xen about memory management when you grow/reduce amount of RAM. But it works generally OK if you took care of dynamic min as I said.

    @ddelnano said in Terraform VM Deployment: es running it on the xcp-ng host would work, Hi @ddelnano, Thank you very much for your valuable advice. I will never run any third party application directly in xcp-ng. I meant inside a VM that will run on the xcp-ng hypervisor, like Xen Orchestra is. So, I need to create a VM and set the correct network and then run nmap -sT -P0 -p 443 xo-domain to test the connection. I'll give this a go. Thank you

    IIRC, it will be permanent until there's another Grub update that will regenerate the menu. So it's not really permanent and it's better to use XO/CLI/whatever supported client to modify the value.

    @danp I am getting this error You attempted an operation on a VM that was not in an appropriate power state at the time; for example, you attempted to start a VM that was already running. The parameters returned are the VM's handle, and the expected and actual VM state at the time of the call. vm: 2fc2b09b-2249-164a-9f60-e408d9c3db82 (Cert test-host_2021-04-07T16:19:20.356Z) expected: running actual: halted the last portion states that I can only do this command on a running vm Edit: I created a new vm using terraform and changed ran the suggested command. The result is that the vm operates normally. The issue now is what is causing this to happen? I don't believe this was an issue for me before. Thanks for your help.
