@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

olivierlambert

Might worth asking Mikrotik to use our latest Rust agent

gudge25

@olivierlambert
i asked them
but they decide to ignore

Is there any chance that we can fix the compatibility issue in 8.2 with Mikrotik V6

Or should I forget about it?

@gudge25 This issue is presented in the packaged Mirotik image you're getting from the vendor, and not an issue that the Vates team would have access to fix.

The source of the problem needs fixing, not the end.

Andrew

@gudge25 ...forget about it... Mikrotik won't fix v6 and they have a proprietary OS, so you can't install normal stuff.
