      olivierlambert when changes are made (like IP change in the VM), it is now instantly reported by XO 🙂
      I will be able to go back to my work to integrate a BGP deamon to announce locals IPs to the network (I started last year to work on the xe-deamon but never had the time to finish it, and some months after I saw you blog post about moving to rust for it).

      Thank you!

        Install on Debian 12 VM went smooth. Tested on XCP-ng 8.2.1 & using Xen Orchestra, commit 5fe53. When changing networks it updates the IP very fast, but does not clear the previous IP addresses from the other networks. I did confirm they are not showing in the VM. 3a926d58-4f0b-425b-82ac-3b082fa0031f-image.png

            Hi lawrencesystems, thanks for the feedback!

            How are those IPs added and removed? In my tests I see old IPs always removed, whether I replace an address using ifconfig or whether I use ip addr del

              I was simply changing the VLAN via the XO interface o the VM while it was running.

                lawrencesystems do you mean you're changing the network the VIF is connected to? With old and new network both using DHCP maybe?

                  Correct, changed VIF and each network has DHCP and the VM is set via DHCP.

                    lawrencesystems thanks for those details, I could identify 2 specific issues from this, will fix that for 0.3.0:

                      olivierlambert I'm running it... It would be nice if you offered a debian compatible repository that I could just add to the apt sources so updates would happen along with other debian updates (like HP tools, node, yarn, etc).

                          Hi everyone.

                          e9ebd019-8acf-4bb5-95c2-9be728280bff-grafik.png

                          Issue is still persistent and can be reproduced.

                          After a reboot the old IPs are not showing up again until you change the network again.

                          Regards,

                          Tested on fully patched XCP-NG 8.2.1 and XenOrchestra from Sources on commit 84650.

                            olivierlambert Install on different Debian and Ubuntu versions works as decribed by others, so nothing exciting to add (which is good I assume 🤔 ). XCP-ng 8.2.1 fully patched incl. the new security update candidates. XO from third party script with commit a3ea7.

                              itservices I'm working on it, though it's not fully ready yet.

                              Work in progress is available from this merge request. The "Merge request pipeline" block has download links to get a deb, a rpm, or a plain executable directly, for those willing to test.

                              Current proposed code should handle the "unplug" case just right, but the "replug" case still occasionally does not get the IP back - that part in the work but not yet ready to share.

                                Out of curiosity, are there any plans to port the new Tools to Windows? I understand that the architecture is different on the Windows side, but do really enjoy the effort so far.

                                  Yes, this is something we'd like to achieve. There's some Rust lib able to deal with WMI, so we should be able to achieve it. The real deal is not the mgmt agent, but PV drivers. On that topic, we also have someone working 100% on this. So expect more news for Windows coming 😉

                                      I've done initial testing on Suse SLES/OpenSuse 15.4, 15.5 and the similar opensuse MicroOS 5.5

                                      Installs, runs, reports correct information and stats so far. Basic commands work as expected.
