      Thank you for your response.

      Apparently, the VM is unable to get an IP address. Have you any network configuration which can conflicts with the start of a new VM?

        The xcp-ng server is on a public IP but all my VMs are on a private network through NIC1. I would never expect to start a VM and have networking auto configured. I would have to give it an IP address.

          Indeed, in your case you need to give the VM an IP address.

          To make this possible, we'll improve our solution to let users be able to select the VM's network and to choose the network configuration.

            Sounds good. I'll give it another go then!

              Unfortunately, it will not be possible to give an IP address to the deployed VM during the deployment process because the VM is started quickly.

                So we'll need to leave the choice before actual proxy deploy (eg when you select the SR) 🙂

                  Indeed,

                  On selecting a SR, the user should be able to select the associated network and to choose its configuration.

                    I just tried this out for the first time. With XOA (latest channel, freshly updated), I received the same timeout error --

                    proxy.deploy
                    {
                      "sr": "fed313ad-68ac-8ce8-0ced-25f861c3c17f"
                    }
                    {
                      "message": "operation timed out",
                      "name": "TimeoutError",
                      "stack": "TimeoutError: operation timed out

                    }
                    

                    With XO built from source, I received the following error --

                        Hi,

                        No problem for me to create and configure a proxy but when I start a backup I have this error :

                        backupNg.runJob
                        {
                          "id": "fad774b1-79ac-485d-9e7d-f3f9de02f486",
                          "schedule": "0c9fffd2-8a42-4d87-8098-217dbd2feabc"
                        }
                        {
                          "code": -32601,
                          "data": "backup.run",
                          "message": "method not found: backup.run"
                        }

                          Your proxy was deployed in a DHCP enabled env, right?

                              Good thanks 🙂 I think we got a patch coming very soon, done by @julien-f fixing this error

                                Okay, thanks. I'm waiting for the patch.
                                If I'm not in DHCP I have the same problem as the other users, a timeout and the proxy is deleted.

                                  Hey everyone!

                                  The patch is finally here 🎉

                                  Sorry for the delay 😐

                                  How to test?

                                  1. Select the latest channel on your XO appliance
                                  2. Upgrade to Xen Orchestra 5.43.2
                                  3. Go to the Proxies page and either Deploy a proxy or upgrade the appliance of your existing ones

                                  What's here?

                                  • Full Backup
                                  • Disaster Recovery

                                  Known limitations/issues

                                  Scheduled for Step 2 at the end of the month.

                                  • Network configuration for the proxy appliance
                                  • Delta Backup
                                  • Continuous Replication
                                  • Detailed logs, they are currently empty
                                  • Restoring backups
                                    Work-around: create a normal remote (not linked to the proxy) connected to the same storage and import via the XO appliance

                                  Thank you for your feedbacks

                                          Are proxies an XOA-restricted feature? If yes, then the GUI should indicate that and prevent you from attempting to deploy when built from source. If no, then this functionality is still broken (TypeError: app.getResourceCatalog is not a function) when built from source.

                                            Proxies are like XOA (or XO Hub templates): they are pre-configured appliances hosted on xen-orchestra.com, explaining why you can only deploy them from XOA.

                                            However, you should be able to use the sources to register a proxy yourself, but we'll document that later (it's still in dev and code is moving fast).

                                            Anyway, we'll expose that in the UI, thanks for the feedback 🙂
