    It's not meant to be used like that. If you are behind a NAT, the right approach is to have your XOA behind the NAT and inside the same network than the hosts. That's because hosts will always use and return their internal IPs to connect to some resources (stats, consoles etc.). XOA deals with that easily as being the "main control point" for all hosts behind your NAT (or a XO proxy if you prefer).

    This post specifically: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/57441 The person had issues to speak in English but wanted to tell this configuration worked. You can use the xen_wdt backend to rely on a Xen operation to force restart the VM. I have no idea how it works on Windows.

    @lawrencesystems I think this is quite common when you need to test certain scenarios with multiple hypervisors (backup, migrations, etc.). You only need a couple of HVs with a few tiny running VMs. We have done this setup with nested esxi many times for testing purposes. And since e.g. Ubuntu and Windows work this way, the problem is probably specific to Debian (and maybe others?).

    @infodavid Finally, I follow an existing topic and configure nut-server on the hypervisor to access the ups via usb. I know that Olivier is not fully aligned with the fact that the host is modified but IMO it is an acceptable change on my XCP-NG host.

    VMs are abruptly getting shutdown

    @lritinfra Something to consider also the HPE Intelligent Provisioning is the main way, outside of HPE iLO, HPE SUM or HPE SPP to update the server's hardware firmware. If you aren't using individual RPMs or SCEXE files for the task. With HPE Intelligent Provisioning and HPE SPP being able to update, both firmware and BIOS. As not all of the updates for firmware will be in a compatible format, for use with HPE iLO. I'm not sure if it has changed but an Administrator Password set on the BIOS (at minimum), also locks out (disables) access to the Erase option on the HPE Intelligent Provisioning. At least it does on my only HPE Server running an up to date BIOS, HPE iLO and HPE Intelligent Provisioning. Thus disabled HPE Intelligent Provisioning doesn't help with being up to date enough to fix vulnerabilities and bugs at hardware or firmware level.

    Is it possible to prioritize the booting of certain VMs over another when xcp-ng starts?

    XCP-ng on a laptop - turning off the monitor

    @abudef I ran into the same thing on a dell latitude 5411, but I eventually found a workaround. In the BIOS under System Configuration there was an option called Unobtrusive Mode, and when enabled, a specific key combination will turn off the display and speakers, independent of the OS. The same key combination will then turn them back on when needed. While an automatic feature would be preferable, the manual option meets my needs since it would be rare to need to use the laptop screen. The one downside for me is that if power is lost long enough that the battery drains, the screen will need manual intervention after power is restored - the BIOS will turn the machine back on when it receives power, but won't put the screen back in its previous state. I put a sticker on the laptop with the key combination so I will remember it when needed.

    @sushant-diwakar I think you misunderstood @olivierlambert as he was referring to the support ticket that you opened with Vates, which is still open and awaiting a response from you. I restored the forum thread that you deleted because it contains information that is pertinent to this discussion. I'm leaving this topic separate for now, but IMO there really was no valid reason to start this new thread instead of continuing the prior one.

    @ImThatFluffy said in Issues with PCIE Passthrough: @john-c Yea im not sure, it was either an issue with the way I had Debian setup or compatibility things booted up Ubuntu 22.04LTS with the HWE kernel and it worked perfectly. Well if you are using Ubuntu Linux 22.04.1 LTS or one of the later point releases then it would be using a Linux Kernel version 6.1 or later, when its a HWE kernel. So any bugs from earlier versions of the kernel would have been fixed, also the Intel ARC graphics hardware would have been released during one of the point releases. On the Debian Linux front a distribution version earlier than version 12.0 would have been unlikely to have complete properly functioning support, due to that release being the first one with the Linux kernel version of 6.1 or later.

    @DustinB said in Imbedded Docker: Has anyone else done this, and can provide benefits or faults in doing so, besides the obvious that this isn't officially supported? I am actually going through the process of trying this right now, and am having significant difficulties with the xscontainer-prepare-vm piece - it doesn't work. So far, I have built a Docker VM, made sure all prerequisites are in there, and then run this script. It does insert an ssh-rsa key into my user's authorized_keys file, but the public key it inserts doesn't actually work. The host is not able to ssh into the VM due to the certificate not matching and requires a password, which does not work because it can't pass the VM check. Has anyone else seen this behaviour before?

    I've got passthrough to work a number of times without issue, the only thing I had to make sure of was that all devices related to the GPU were passed through completely. Are you following the docs step by step? I have a Ubuntu VM running with a 2060 passed through right now, works flawlessly and even survived a power loss on the host.

    @ajpri1998 I agree in regards to XOA getting damaged somehow, so that makes sense. I think my question here to OP was more about why they're concerned with it if they already have XOA. Normally if something happens to XOA though you'd SSH into the XCP-ng host and figure it out from there (which also means XO Lite could be enabled). Not criticizing at all, just was curious about the use case here in specific since it's being evaluated for enterprise use.

    As a general rule, you MUST keep all your hosts up to date. If you update normally, you will be on a 8.2.1
