@Pilow we really did only add one small log . we'll need to dive deeper for a real cause ( and fix)

@florent No problem, just thought it would be fun. Thanks for your work anyway!

@nikade said in Every virtual machine I restart doesn't boot.: @DustinB yeah im guessing the VDI isn't attached to the VM for some reason, based on the screenshot. Im also wondering if he ever rebooted the VM's after installing them with PXE Right, it's a likely answer... but even then I would've expected his PXE server to just restart the installation process all over again... assuming that the disk is attached to the VM etc and that PXE boot isn't disabled automatically like it is with an ISO after first boot. haha

Thanks for the heads-up and thanks for the help !

Also.. Thank you for taking a look at it and solving it so quickly, @florent It is a quite nice interaction when reporting bugs that they are looked at and triaged. Not saying everything needs to be a priority 1. But I do appreciate being close to the process. And if I can help make things better by reporting bugs, in a hopefully constructive way. Then I'll continue to contribute my way.

@MichaelCropper Truenas on bare metal just as storage, XCP-NG is also bare metal on 3 hosts to make a pool. That's the minimum if you want to enable High Availability, it also works really well as a "normal" pool which is what I have. Rolling Pool functions are great, click the button and the system moves the VMS off of the host that need updates, reboots, moves VMs off of the next host, repeat. Only works with Shared storage.

@pilow As I am completly new to this scripting and such I did reach out to Ai for assistance and believe the license check should be bypassed now. Again not suggested to use in production. Use at your own risk. still has its own branch for more testing before merging to main branch.

@olivierlambert It's even older than that. https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/master/CHANGELOG.v5.md#5540-2020-12-29 https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-5-54/

@EddieA Ok, good that your setup is now fully operational ! Let's sort this as a self-resolved problem then for now. Don't hesitate to ping us again if the issue comes back.

I just released 0.0.4! Still an alpha, but it's becoming pretty usable - there was over 60 commits of code cleanup, polish and also limited testing of all visible features - pretty much everything that is now visible in the UI should be operational at this point, option pages, properties of hosts, pools, VDIs, configuration of NICs, even bonding and advanced stuff like pool password / secret rotation. All XAPI actions and commands were already ported over from C# variant, so my focus now is only on finishing it into a final usable product. We also have some features that original client doesn't have (such as XenCache explorer)! Next on my to-do is to add all features that are currently missing completely: HA, GPU, PCIe, VM import / export etc. Note: I will not be porting over any licensed or proprietary Citrix stuff. This tool may work with XenServer just fine, but I will not be porting over any of the proprietary features, because I will never use it and I have no way to test it either.

@DustinB said in Recommended DELL Hardware ?: Doesn't using non-shared storage ultimately cause the VM to be started on the other host? No. Live migration can occur between hosts even if: the VDI are located on non-shared storage the hosts are in completely different pools For the cross pool migration to succeed, both pools need to support a common instruction set. Otherwise, use the Warm Migration feature that does reboot the VM so that it is running the correct instruction set on the destination host.

@MathieuRA As announced, I have now installed branch xo6/update-site-dashboard and it seems to be working. It no longer loads endlessly and shows me that I haven't configured anything yet Thank you very much!

@busthead said in Windows 11 (Win11_25H2_English_x64.iso) Fails to Install: It appears I missed the key press to start setup Dont you know your are not suppose to blink when doing working. You might miss something Glad you figured it out.

@Danp alright, thanks. I'll give that a try.

@florent Thanks again for your assistance, greatly appreciated.

@afmart_dei could you share the /var/log/xensource.log of the joining host ? ideally the whole part after the host started (you could look at the file before rebooting and strip all lines before the last line you saw)

@whyberg Nope... that feature is part of the CPU. But is that the actual problem? Maybe... As that machine is too old to do any real work, it's a fine toy. There are better faster cheap test machines available.

@henri9813 Ahh alright, I understand now! Thanks for clarifying.
