      @jeffrey_lim Hi !

      I guess is something like the OME appliance (missing Xen driver, see https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/92384)

      Do you have the link to download the appliance, so I can see if I can make it boot ?

        Hi @AtaxyaNetwork,

        Thanks for the prompt reply! Yes I have attached the link for you to download the OVA file but you need to have Dell account in order to download it. I tried to upload to the forum but it's limit to 2048kb size. Do let me know how I can send it over to you.

                @AtaxyaNetwork So the issue was in fact the drivers missing. The appliance is now booting
                However, I can't figure how to configure the appliance to access the web page.
                (I played with the network config, hostname, etc)

                So for now, I have this:
                73311fd4-a95d-42bb-9436-74345ad923f7-image.png

                I think the appliance is trying to use the vmware tools to get some infos, but since we are not on vmware...
                I'll try to bypass it

                    @jeffrey_lim I finally figured it out (thanks to my best friend grep)

                    The configured_appliance command is not working by default because the alias is not set by puppet, but with the full path, I can start the installation and provide network info.

                    5c6b92bf-73b0-4e30-8951-c9037a34ecf9-image.png

                    I need to regenerate a clean image, since I played with the current one too much.

                    @jeffrey_lim do you want me to pre-install the appliance with your network infos, or do you just want the steps to configure it ?

                        Edit to my previous post: the script is checking for working DNS, so i cannot pre-setup network.
                        If you want the fixed applicance with the drivers installed, ping me !

                        To setup the network, you just need to login (root/changeme, yeah the password is... bleh), and launch the script /usr/local/brs/puppet/scripts/install.sh -lui
