Adding Sysprep Capability to VM Creation Using (Windows) Template

@olivierlambert NICE! Great to hear Olivier. I follow your Forums post...but there really hasn't been much traction on Veeam's end of late. Altho..they have been a bit busy with their Sales KO and a VeeamON Conference of late
Looking fwd to see what they come up with. I'd be the 1st to give it a test run. Heck, as part of their Veeam100 crew, maybe they'd even be willing to share their BETA with me?

I strongly suggest that you use your good relationship with them to push the topic. More people are coming to them to ask for support of XCP-ng, great the chances to be sold as a product
-
@olivierlambert I'll ask for an update in the Forums post and see what they say...

@olivierlambert Olivier - I have good information outside your Forums post that it's looking like Veeam supporting XCP is actually going to happen. Are you hearing anything on your end?
That said, aside from lack of Veeam support, there are other features you don't have I require before I can even consider migrating to XCP (GPU support for one; but others as well). Though I don't think what I'm needing would be difficult to implement on your end with the Dev talent you have, I think the issue on your end is rather more of the lack of priority of what I assume is a long list of feature sets of what I need compared to what you all are currently working on to get implemented.

There is some interesting news even if nothing is decided yet inside VEEAM. We do our best to convince them

@coolsport00 Hello, I think you can find some relevant infos about GPU support, here in the forum, and also in the doc https://docs.xcp-ng.org/compute/#-gpu-passthrough

@nathanael-h Thanks Nathanael...I'll check it out. Appreciate it!

@nathanael-h said in Adding Sysprep Capability to VM Creation Using (Windows) Template:
Ok...so I don't think this'll work for my needs. How I use GPUs - I have Dell PE R740 Hosts, which I pass NVIDA Tesla cards through ESXi. After installing software in ESXi, I can see the cards in my Graphics Hardware section on my ESXi Hosts so I can then assign graphics to VMs. I then configure VMs to use vGPUs of the Tesla cards on the Hosts. The VMs host AutoCAD & other Autodesk software so this is needed. These VMs I host in a VDI setup using Microsoft RDS. But, it looks like what you all do now won't work...unless I'm missing something?

@coolsport00 Some forum users posted about this I think, like here
-
@nathanael-h Alright...will take a look
