@Danp the source. this is a lab to learn this environment to eventually replace VMWare.. Comparing this and Proxmox.

Ok figured it out at the end using xe pool-list on the existing pool gives me a list of existing hosts on the pool, and there was one that has been taken offline, without detaching in XO. So I did a xe host-forget uuid=<host uuid> because xe pool-eject doesn't work on offline host. And now I can add the new host just fine. Thanks everyone for helping!

Hi,

Because updating doing an RPU while using XOSTOR is more tricky. The order of operation is slightly different, and applying the existing RPU algorithm will simply break your storage. We need to restart the satellite in a different order. I don't remember where it's documented, let me ask @ronan-a

I don't see the reason, the UUID is completely internal to XAPI. You might want to compare the 2 objects (like doing a diff between 2x xe vdi param list)

Indeed, XenCenter isn't a supported client for XCP-ng. To delete those, you need to use xe CLI. I don't remember exactly which part is used by XenCenter, might worth some community feedback or taking a look at the XenCenter code.

Thanks,

In a perfect world, self-service users should be able to manage ACLs on their VMs and show backup tab on VM.

@jasonnix
Yeah that folder can fill up quite heavily.
See the following on how to clear the cache with yarn
https://yarnpkg.com/cli/cache/clean

@Andrew Could that be one of the new options that only apply to XCP-ng 8.3 or later?

@xenoNfluX said in Guest Tools for Windows 9.3.3:

@nikade Were these all on a domain? Does the network type on the interface show up as private network and not Domain? That was a huge problem for me until I discovered restarting the 'Network Location Awareness' service fixed it until the next time. Not sure what causes it, but in my case(s) the network type changed the Windows firewall profile and would break things like DHCP and DNS until that service was restarted.

(This took /far/ too long digging through Microsoft/Windows related forums to find out.)

I probably still wouldn't turn on automatic updates, but I was confident enough to do scheduled updates while directly monitoring those servers.

Yeah they are all joined to a domain. This is totally new to me, luckily it didnt happend now for a couple of weeks so maybe im set now.
Thanks for the notice tho 🙂

@jimmymiller This isn't going to be quite the answer you are hoping for, but linking XOA to EntraID is entirely possible. I can't get you the exact details since I am no long with that company, but this can be done with the SAML plugin. Not sure about OIDC. If any of these folks have linked an external app with SAML before, it is going to be very similar. I remember the language used in XOA is slightly different from EntraID, but it can be done with a bit of trial and error.

Again, not the answer you were hoping for, but I do hope it helps, nonetheless!

@bikepope I recommend that you open a support ticket on your customer portal.

Well I guess that was the coalesce process because now that one has just stopped. Any ideas on how to find out why it worked fine for essentially 2 days then stopped?

I get the impression a live migration of a 30T VM may not be the best way to go about moving something of this size between pools? Maybe a warm migration will work better, but I'm also curious how much capacity we're going to need on the source in order to complete this move.

@stormi Thanks @stormi.

I have to get used to XO. I always use XCP-ng Admin on Windows because old habits die hard, and there I cannot even select UEFI with all the Linux templates.

The magic that XO does is that it allows to use the templates, but with UEFI.

I have a VM that I've deployed with the "Other install media" option, so I just dettached the disk and reimported on the new one created by XO, with the correct template. Everything seems fine.

So my question about inheriting the template is not relevant if we use XO. Hope my understand is correct.

Thanks.

@KPS Because you changed the virtual hardware when disabling the option.Windows now see xcp-ng pci devices instead of Citrix pci devices, and you dont have the xcp-ng drivers installed - i.e. blue screen during boot because Windows cannot access the virtual harddisk.

@AtaxyaNetwork
thank you

Sorry but it's still very blurry to me. Which panel are you talking about? Are you using XO from the sources and if yes, how did you install it?

While not critical...It would be nice to have the same dialog for system disks as we do for system names in the multiple VM's section under "advanced." Seems like a really easy thing to add that would prevent someone from having to go back and rename disks later. The system is already creating a name, it's already giving us the ability to name the disks for singles, why not be able to name the disks like the systems for multiples?
