Change Resolution of the XCP-NG console itself
-
Good Afternoon all,
Some of our racks that are using XCP-NG have small 19" monitors with 1366x768 resolution or even older 4:3 monitors with 1280x1024. Once XCP boots past the loader I get "input out of range please change to monitor resolution xxx" I tried to manually define the resolution in GRUB to no success. Any come across this issue as well as a solution?

I found this link from the xenserver page which sounds like a similar issue. I tested this on a 4:3 monitor here and it worked. It basically changes the resolution to 1024x768 which is pretty universal. The steps from the link are
-
SSH into Host
-
/opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline --set-xen vga=mode-0x0317
-
/opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline --set-dom0 vga=791
-
Reboot system
You could change the resolution to anything you need. I found this to be a pretty good universal resolution.

@thetechhipster The change did not work for me (using UEFI boot)...

@Andrew I'm using the same. I only tested it on one of the monitors here. I have a few more in the field I will test it on later. Before doing this I would always get a "resolution out of bounds" error on the monitors. (one 4:3 1024 and one 16:9 1366)
