I modified the tf file to pass a mac_address

network {
  network_id = data.xenorchestra_network.cladevops01net1.id
  mac_address = be:d0:74:96:5a:66
}

It would then go and create the VM but once created. I'd log into XO, delete the VIF and readd it to get the randomized MAC address.

Please note that I also tried mac_address = null and mac_address = random which also failed.

Hope it helps.

Is it a Windows Server VM with Cloudbase-Init installed, then converted to a template?

Now I am, and I am not having a good time of figuring out what is causing this.

Not sure what Windows could have to do with it - I'm running these commands on a RHEL Linux host - the errors occurs almost immediately after the command runs.

Very frustrating.

Here is my current vm.tf file

data "xenorchestra_pool" "pool" {
  name_label = "b500-2555 Server Room"
}

data "xenorchestra_template" "vm_template" {
  name_label = "rbbmswsoe2019s_2023-02-28"
}

data "xenorchestra_sr" "sr" {
  name_label = "nfs-isilon-xcpng-b500-2555"
   pool_id = "d27d1ac8-696a-78c6-e44f-444d1d10b5aa"
#  pool_id = data.xenorchestra_pool.pool.id
}

data "xenorchestra_network" "network" {
  name_label = "VLAN113"
   pool_id = "d27d1ac8-696a-78c6-e44f-444d1d10b5aa"
#  pool_id = data.xenorchestra_pool.pool.id
}

resource "xenorchestra_vm" "rbbmspcs2" {
  memory_max = 8589934594
  cpus = 2
  name_label = "XO terraform tutorial"
  affinity_host = data.xenorchestra_pool.pool.master
  template = data.xenorchestra_template.vm_template.id

  network {
    network_id = data.xenorchestra_network.network.id
}

  disk {
    sr_id = data.xenorchestra_sr.sr.id
    name_label = "VM boot drive"
    size = 50212254720
  }
}

I'm still getting this error

│ Error: jsonrpc2: code 10 message: invalid parameters: {"errors":[{"instancePath":"/VIFs/0/mac","schemaPath":"#/properties/VIFs/items/properties/mac/minLength","keyword":"minLength","params":{"limit":1},"message":"must NOT have fewer than 1 characters"}]}

╵

I am not understanding this. Lin 22 is in the resource section for the VM.

data "xenorchestra_pool" "pool" {
  name_label = "b500-2555 Server Room"
}
...
data "xenorchestra_network" "network" {
  name_label = "VLAN113" 
  pool_id = data.xenorchestra_pool.pool.id
}
...
  network {
    network_id = data.xenorchestra_network.network.id
  }
...
}

You may be able to skip the pool_id entirely based on the Terrafarm docs. This seems to work on my end.

That would look like the below assuming you don't have VLAN113 on another pool visible to Xen Orchestra.

data "xenorchestra_network" "net" {
  name_label = "VLAN113"
}

so you're saying paste in the literal UUID

pool_id = "d27d1ac8-696a-78c6-e44e-444d1d10b5bb"

instead of referencing it like this?

pool_id = data.xenorchestra_pool.pool.id

This referenced version worked just fine in March... do I now have to change every instance of this pool_id definition thoughout my TF file?

data "xenorchestra_network" "net" {
  name_label = var.network
  pool_id = "YOUR_POOL_UUID"
}

I set mine as a variable during an Ansible playbook that writes it to a terraform.tfvars file providing the var.pool_uuid alongside others.

I updated that stanza as follows

data "xenorchestra_network" "network" {
  name_label = "VLAN113"
  pool_id = var.pool_uuid
}

Now I can't get past "terraform plan" because "pool_uuid" hasn't been declared.

╵

No amount of googling is helping me to figure out how to declare "var.pool_uuid"

Working bottom up we have your network which references the xenorchestra_network object

network {
    network_id = data.xenorchestra_network.network.id
}

Which is this, specifying the network name and references xenorchestra_pool for the pool information

data"xenorchestra_network""network" {
  name_label = "VLAN113"
  pool_id = data.xenorchestra_pool.pool.id
}

Which specifies the name of the pool.

data"xenorchestra_pool""pool" {
   name_label = "b500-2555 Server Room"
}

My config has the name of the network and the UUID of the pool that network resides on. I tried swapping it over to the pool name and my script errors out at applying the terraform configuration, swapping it over to the UUID of the pool worked though.

data "xenorchestra_network" "net" {

  name_label = var.network. 
  pool_id = var.pool_uuid

}

Current version: 5.84.0

I just want to build a VM to test another feature - what can I do to get past this message? I can't find a way to define VIFs in Terraform for XO.

Though I can't find it now, I remember having to roll back a version until it was fixed. Might be mixing this up with the affinity host actually...

In case this is useful, here is my ubuntu TF

data "xenorchestra_pool" "pool" {
    name_label = var.pool_name
}

data "xenorchestra_template" "template" {
    name_label = var.vmtemplate
}

data "xenorchestra_network" "net" {
  name_label = var.network
  pool_id = var.pool_uuid
}

resource "xenorchestra_cloud_config" "bar" {
  name = "cloud config name"
  # Template the cloudinit if needed
  template = templatefile("cloud_config.tftpl", {
    hostname = var.hostname
  })
}

resource "xenorchestra_cloud_config" "net" {
  name = "cloud network config name"
  # Template the cloudinit if needed
  template = templatefile("cloud_network_config.tftpl", {
  })
}


resource "xenorchestra_vm" "bar" {
    memory_max = var.ram
    cpus  = var.cpus
    cloud_config = xenorchestra_cloud_config.bar.template
    cloud_network_config = xenorchestra_cloud_config.net.template
    name_label = var.name_label
    name_description = var.name_description
    template = data.xenorchestra_template.template.id

    # Prefer to run the VM on the primary pool instance
    affinity_host = data.xenorchestra_pool.pool.master
    network {
      network_id = data.xenorchestra_network.net.id
    }

    disk {
      sr_id = var.disk_sr
      name_label = var.disk_name
      size = var.disk_size 
    }

    tags = [
      "Nightly Backup"
    ]

    wait_for_ip = true

    // Override the default create timeout from 5 mins to 20.
    timeouts {
      create = "20m"
    }
}

Yes, and I'm getting errors.

right after "terraform apply" and answering "yes" to the prompt, I got this:

So... I did some Googling and found that another person was experiencing a similar issue recently, so I added the following line to my tf file:

affinity_host = data.xenorchestra_pool.pool.master

Now, I'm getting this error - and I can't figure out a solution on my own. Any ideas? I haven't toyed with my TF files in months, ever since I reported this, and wasn't getting these errors back then.

Here follows the simplified TF file I've been using, with the new "affinity_host" line:

data "xenorchestra_pool" "pool" {
  name_label = "b500-2555 Server Room"
}

data "xenorchestra_template" "vm_template" {

  pool_id = data.xenorchestra_pool.pool.id

can you open a support ticket and open a support tunnel ? I will connect and patch your installation

Do you use XO from the source or a XOA ?

Is there anything special I need to do from my end, or is the patch live?

Mike

I did some test on a branch (adding a MBR at the beginning of the cloud init drive) : https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/6889 it should fix the windows problem. Can you test it ?

Regards

fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

closed feat(xo-server): add MBR to cloud-init drive #6889

I'm happy to help test if that kind of help is needed.

Mike
