I had a similar issue and found that after changing the static IP directly by editing the network config file inside the XOA VM, things worked fine, but I had to double-check routing afterward. I also ran a quick ip stress test with multiple devices to make sure the new config didn’t cause conflicts or drops on the network. Everything stayed stable after that.

And that's the reason why we planned to keep displaying "out of sync objects" in XO 6

@bleader you have it right. I was checking before I started down the path of writing something myself. We are a public entity that operates very similar to an MSP so we have a ton of VLANs. We're migrating from vCenter/ESXi and have always used powerCLI with powershell to perform these functions.

No no, don't worry, it shouldn't be that frustrating. That's why I want to check what do we have in the pipes in the future to make it easier.

UPDATE, Its FIXED! I downloaded XCP-NG Center and it was able to connect to Xen-1 and I was then able to change xenbr3 to DHCP instead of the static IP that was the same as xenbr0. No idea how a power hit may have caused this but doing that allowed XO to immediately connect. Much appreciate the assistance, I think it would have taken much longer to figure out if I didn't have the support!

@olivierlambert Thanks for the quick fix - update worked fine when I tried again, right after I wrote my post

@DustinB I advise you not to decide for others what they should do. I'm tired.

@BSmithITGuy Thanks for your information. The temporary workaround now is put Xen Orchestra to the same XCP-ng management network. Update 1: Diving deeper, I discovered that the API was changed the host management address (where the VM is located) to the backup address: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/92932dd54645838db58ecfdd872895c5ad461608/packages/xen-api/index.mjs#L1010 async _setHostAddressInUrl(url, host) { ... url.hostname = await this._getHostBackupAddress(host) }

This message shouldn't appear if the license is properly activated. Since you have an active XOA trial, you should open an official ticket through the support portal and we can take a look at this for you.

Still, I remember we had a dedicated CLI tool to test it

@bleader said in Created a new bond interface and lost management connectivity to hosts: The original problem could be a known issue when creating bond including the management interface that we have to investigate. Although the emergency network reset should have fixed that, so maybe it is a mix of the bond creation issue and MTU issue. In the reinstalled pool, did you create the bonds already? If so I would think changing the MTU should be fine, especially as it worked on other PIF, but with MTU issue it is often quite sneaky, so I would not make any promises either. Yes I have recreated them, but I am not game enough yet to change the management interfaces to MTU 9000, though I have done on bridge interfaces for VMs, because I was losing ssh sessions, and this solved the issue. Also, the bonded storage interface is MTU 9000 no problem.

@ph7 Thanks for the tip! Appreciate it.

@olivierlambert we are thinking about implementing a relationnal DB in the future. Maybe it could offer to stock snapshots as "archived"... I don't know for now. I understand that it could be risky to delete old snapshots, and maybe the responsability of setting the snaspshots retention can be an ACL subject... There are plenty of avenues of work on this topic, and more generally on the retention of information about objects, tasks, and other actions. It's a real in-depth topic.

@Tomcatter It's from Citrix: https://www.xenserver.com/downloads

@MathieuRA For this issue, fix-server-connect works for me. Thanks.

@Forza I don't know, I guess that's part of what I am trying to find out. How to get the metrics of the physical cpu usage. I thought that's what I would get with activating Netdata (Advanced Telemetry) from XenOrchestra.

Not a problem, something to be done correctly, and not implemented at all in the current XCP-ng API. In other words, it's not trivial You can create an issue in XO repo with all the details (and the screenshot), this at least needs some serious work to find what would be the best approach (and then sorted from our backlog)

@nathanael-h Alright...will take a look

@astrugatch At this point, I'd submit your ova to the Vates team as they requested to have them look inside it to verify you're exporting what is needed to be able to import into XO
