      @AtaxyaNetwork I understand it would be a lot of work to make a new XVA every time Dell updates the appliance. Would it be possible to write a shell script that we could copy to the appliance and run after the fact that could change the /dev/sda to /dev/xvda in the needed files perhaps? I can try running it on my updated appliance you sent me, im just not sure where the drives are being referenced.

      Something like

      sed -i -e 's/sda/xvda/g' /etc/whatever.conf?

          BTW...how in the world did you add the guest tools? I messed around with that while watching two movies a few Sundays ago and finally gave up!

            @AtaxyaNetwork are you able to list the files that require these drive name modifications? I can try changing them on the latest updated version of the appliance.

              @archw I added them in live mode, when I was chrooed in the SLES disk. But I have a problem with SELinux, sometimes the tools are not working because SELinux block the service. For now, I deactivated SELinux, but I don't like this workaround.

              @flakpyro the two files are

                  /opt/dell/omc/utilities/tui/bin/ome_disk_config.sh
                  /opt/dell/mcsi/appliance/scripts/appliance_ressource.sh

                I just updated my appliance to the latest version, and found a way to add ssh support on it.
                If someone want the latest version, ping me !

                      @AtaxyaNetwork That's amazing. Thank you so much for working on this project. Can I also get the latest update with added SSH support?

                        @AtaxyaNetwork Amazing!

                        Will you be posting an updated blog entry on how you managed to convert OME over to XCP? Could I get a link to the appliance too?
                        Thanks a million for this.

                            @AtaxyaNetwork could you please DM me a link to the current appliance you've been working on? I just started going through the same before coming across your blog.

                                @AtaxyaNetwork Still testing latest version. So far working very nice including the SSH. Next trying to import a wildcard SSL but having some issues.

                                  @pctechsolution Thanks for the feedback !
                                  Do you have any error messages about the SSL issue ?

                                    @AtaxyaNetwork I'm not able to import a wildcard SSL from say like GoDaddy. Or not sure how to quickly sign my own cert without having a signing server.

                                            I finally had some time to test the latest OME appliance you created. It booted up with version 4.3.x and it it appeared that i could in fact install plugins if i wanted! It prompted me to update to 4.4.1.2 which i did and which was sucessful! Sadly this looks to have overwrote whatever changes you had made as now after a reboot it will not let me install plugins any longer, and displays the usual error about disk space. The good news is that the guest tools and SSH access remain!

                                            The OME VM is not configured with enough disk space to support this plugin. 400 GB of disk space must be allocated to the VM to support the appliance and all plugins (including this one). The VM has 0 GB allocated, 400 GB is required for the appliance and all other installed plugins
                                            

                                            I attempted to edit the files you listed above, replacing references to /dev/sd?? to /dev/xvd?? and that seemed to fix it!
