Xen Orchestra VM freezes after first login
-
You may want to check the vesion of Node (
node -v). You could also try build manually from source. Instructions are here. -
node is at v12.16.1

Duplicate IP Address by chance?
-
I suppose it is possible but I'm using dhcp, and I would never expect a duplicate IP address to make it unresponsive from the console.
-
@kingmaiku The fact your ssh session gets disconnected says alot about what is going on. Either a networking issue on the host side (linux bond mode misconfigured) or a duplicate IP address would definitely cause this problem. Look at your network to see what might be wrong...
-
So I'm convinced that the Host network should be okay as there are roughly 78 virtual machines on this esxi host.
The ssh session getting cut seems consistent with the Console getting cut. I would expect the ssh session to get cut/interrupted in the event of a duplicate IP, that I agree with. The reason I think it is more than that is because I have never seen a VM freeze from the console as a result though. Always I have been able to login on the console and correct/change the IP and restart networking and resume ssh connecting to the VM. In this case though, even send ctrl alt delete to the console has absolutely no impact (which to me makes me think kernel panic).
Are you still thinking that duplicate IP could cause a freeze at this level? (not doubting you just suprised because I personally have't experience that to cause console freeze) -
Okay, I've double-checked that nothing else is answering the phone on that IP either ssh or browser side.
Aside from that I'm trying a fresh static IP that I KNOW is in the clear. I will let you know if it repros with the new IP. -
Dang, same issue with the new IP
-
Could be an issue with the script you used to build the VM. One way to know for sure is to try manually building one and then retesting.
-
As @Danp mentioned, try building XO from source again - this time, use a different build tool. I used this particular script and it worked fine for me. I simply spun up a clean Debian 10 VM and ran the installer script.
Not sure if your build script has problems.

Or just follow the official documentation… https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/from_the_sources.html
