@gudge25 when im importing using XO
Management agent not detected

olivierlambert

Hi!

The first video shows an unsupported client (XCP-ng center) and it's 2y old, and not from any official YT channel. So it's not a good guide to do this.
You imported it successfully in Xen Orchestra, so the VM should work However, there's no agent install, because I think Mikrotik doesn't bring those tools by default. You should ask Mikrotik community about this. You can build or try the Rust binary that will be the tools in here: https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent

@gudge25 @olivierlambert It works 100% correctly for me...

Step 1: download chr-7.16.2.ova
Step 2: Use XO and import chr-7.16.2.ova using defaults
Step 3: Start VM and watch it boot...

It boots and Management agent 6.6.80-71 detected as the it is included by Mikrotik.

@Andrew Thanks
Yes, I can confirm that the “Management Agent” is visible when I install version 7.
However, the issue arises with version 6, as the “Management Agent” is not detected when using it.

probably Mikrotik v6 issue

@gudge25 I have also CHR 6.49.13 and XO reports Management agent 6.6.80-71 detected.

Edit: can confirm OP - no management agent detected, tried back to ROS 6.47.9. Perhaps something with xcp-ng version? That CHR v6 with management agent was originally installed on xcp-ng 8.1, which is now upgraded to 8.2

Might worth asking Mikrotik to use our latest Rust agent
