Netbox IP sync - issue with duplicated address when doing DR backup

Mathieu

Hello,

I just started to use Netbox and was really happy to see that there's a plugin for XenOrchestra.
I set it up and it's working as expected on the first sync.

On the next sync, it didn't succeed because of a duplicated IP address.
Indeed, my active XO instance is backed up with DR backup on different hosts.
That means of course that there are halted VM's having the same IP address as the active one.

Is there any way to avoid the sync of these DR VM to netbox? Perhaps with tagging?
Or some other workaround?

I already tried to add that IP address as a VIP address in Netbox, but the sync still fails.

Thanks,

Pilow

We have the same problem. Changing a bit in the mac-address of the replicated/DRed VM seems to get the plugin to accept to sync again. But obviously not a good solution.

It doesn't work in my case, even though the replicates have different MAC addresses

  "netboxError": [
    {
      "address": [
        "Duplicate IP address found in global table: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx"
      ]
    },
    {}

Have you done something appart from changing the MAC address?
