XO can't connect to XCP-NG host and Issue with Secure Boot

DarwinPH

Hi,

We have 2 issues:

First, Windows Server 2019 Domain Controller VM wont start. We get the error message on XCP-NG Center -" "An emulator required to run this VM failed to start" and "WS2019DC failed to pass Secure Boot verification".

Second, we want to disable Secure Boot on the DC VM but when we run XO it wont connect to the XCP-NG host. We get the error message -"connect ENETUNREACH 192.168.1.34:443 - Local(0.0.0.0:0)". We can ping the host from within XO.

Very much appreciate everyone's feedback and help.

Thank you.

What did you enter inside Xen Orchestra in the Settings/server URL to connect to this host?

DarwinPH

This is what we have:

It has always worked. It was only this morning when these issues happened. From what I know is that last thing we did was update both XO and XCP-NG.

olivierlambert

Have you modified the dom0 in any way? (ie modified any firewall rule)
Is it an XOA or a XO from the sources? Is it up to date?
If you wget 192.168.1.34 from XOA, what's the result?

@olivierlambert
Q1: Have you modified the dom0 in any way? (ie modified any firewall rule)
We performed an update via CLI - yum update

Q2: Is it an XOA or a XO from the sources? Is it up to date?
Its an XOA.

Q3: If you wget 192.168.1.34 from XOA, what's the result?
We get - bash: wget : command not found

olivierlambert

Your XOA is fully up to date?
Try curl --insecure https://192.168.1.34 and paste what you see here.

@olivierlambert
Q1: Your XOA is fully up to date?
Its on v5.72.1 right now.

Q2: Try curl --insecure https://192.168.1.34

Please open a support ticket so we can take a look. I'm almost certain it's an environment issue, but first time I'm seeing it this way

DarwinPH

Thanks @olivierlambert , will surely do that.

How about with regards to the error when attempting to start our Windows Server 2019 DC - "WS2019DC failed to pass Secure Boot verification"?

Is it possible to disable Secure Boot via command line? Or editing the VM's configuration file?

olivierlambert

xe vm-param-set uuid=<UUID> platform:secureboot=false

@olivierlambert said in XO can't connect to XCP-NG host and Issue with Secure Boot:

xe vm-param-set uuid=<UUID> platform:secureboot=false

Thank you! This did the trick! Our Windows Server 2019 is now up and running.
