XOA Error when installing

kilo

it now says 'success' after selecting 'guest tools' in the dvd drive section......is that what I was supposed to do??

kilo

is this the final thing that i should get???. How do i open the WEB UI ??

olivierlambert

You should have an IP. Go to the HTTPS of this IP and you'll have the UI

kilo

I do not know the IP. may be it used dhcp to launch......now how to find the IP ???

kilo

did networking step....tried pinging the IP but failed......opening in browser failed too!

kilo

I have used bridged routing between XCP-ng VM and host. To the XOA VM in the XCP-ng server I gave IP from the subnet of the server i.e 192.168.0.x

olivierlambert

Check your current XOA network config with ifconfig -a

olivierlambert

Wait, I don't understand. Where is running this XOA?

kilo

XOA virtual appliance is running in the xcp-ng center and xcp-ng center is running in vmware workstation.

olivierlambert

From your current machine (where you post on this forum) I suppose you can ping your host, correct?

But you can't ping XOA VM?

Danp

Look under the VM's Networking tab to confirm the assigned IP address.

@olivierlambert @Danp seems like you are deep in helping Kilo lol. Should I make a new post?

Danp

@ZacApplegate No need. @olivierlambert Can you give feedback on his prior post?

kilo

Indeed i can ping xcp-ng host (192.168.0.55) from my pc .......

kilo

@Danp IP address is same 192.168.0.77 in the networking tab

kilo

no result of ifconfig -a.

kilo

@olivierlambert yes indeed

olivierlambert

As sudoer, so with sudo before.

@kilo at the shell prompt (as root user) type:

ip a l

you will see the IP if static of if DHCP worked.
if you need to configure the network edit (using vi or nano) /etc/network/interfaces
I show you mine as reference:

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 172.27.217.231
    network 255.255.254.0
    gateway 172.27.217.254

once the file is edited restart the network:

systemctl restart networking

note: remember to set auto on eth0 (see the line auto lo eth0)or when you give a network restart eth0 does not get the IP address and you need to reboot the VM.
