Register instance of XO Running on Hyper-V

someone2b

I am running into an issue registering an instance of XO running on a Hyper-V system. Our central datacenter where we want to run XO is Hyper-V, but we want to use it to manage distributed compute that will be based on XCP-NG.

I suspect the issue is that XO can see its not running on Xen and fails the check:
âœ– Fetching VM UUID: Error: Command failed: xenstore-read vm
xenstore.Open error: Cannot locate xenbus dev path in [/proc/xen/xenbus /dev/xen/xenbus /kern/xen/xenbus]

Will it be possible to run in this configuration? Changing the hypervisor in our datacenter is not likely feasible at this time, but we still want to leverage XO.

Thanks

Also note we receive this error:
âœ– unknown error from the peer

Hi,

That shouldn't be a blocker. Let me ping @julien-f

@someone2b Just install this work-around xenstore-read with the following commands and hopefully it will work.

sudo -s
cd /usr/local/bin
curl -O https://gist.githubusercontent.com/julien-f/a6f98de3bd5a775f3f04b2fa14a9a102/raw/xenstore-read
chmod +x xenstore-read
