@edisoninfo Hi,
What's xo-install.sh ? It's a third party script ?

@lsouai-vates (for reference i opened an issue a while ago about this https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/6600)

AtaxyaNetwork created this issue 3 Jan 2023, 16:04 in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

open Possibility to make export of research in XOA #6600

@wezke That would be great ! Thank you !

@Statitica I don't think you can change the template on the go (but I might be wrong)

The safest way is to create a new VM with the right template, same spec, without disk. Then don't boot it, shut the VM with the wrong template, detach the disk (rename it if the name is not obvious), and attach it to the new VM with the right template.

@Statitica Hi !
Did you install the XenServer or the XCP-ng tools on your Windows VM ?
Without the tools, performance are bad

Also, the "Other OS" template can cause issues, because windows template have some supplemental parameter for Xen (like Viridian, and other thing I forgot)

@TheNorthernLight No problem, buying second-hand hardware is good for the planet
I'll give you an update as soon as I find some clues about the disk problem

@wezke Great news !

Also, If you'd like to share the packer configuration for windows, I'm interested! I'm curious to see the difference between Linux and Windows boot config

@wezke I see no obvious line to explain why you have an issue with the disk size. The only difference between my build and yours is that you are using the windows 386 version of the builder, and I'm running on Debian.
Can you try the amd64 version ?

@TheNorthernLight @pctechsolution
I'll have some time the next day to work on this.
So basically the things to check:

• Why CPU/RAM/DISK is not correctly displayed
• Have a way to plug a second disk and have it seen by OME
• Have a way to install tools

Do you know if the second disk has something special in it, or I can just add a disk via XOA and call it a day ?

(BTW, if you have support from Dell, you can push them to be compatible with XCP-ng/Xen. I'll be happy to discuss with them to make the appliance work natively )

@AtaxyaNetwork I just tested a build with your configuration, i have 20Gb on my disk

@wezke Do you still have the trace when packer is running ? Maybe i can found what's wrong.
(I'll try to test on my side today, but I can promise anything)

@pctechsolution Hum, first time i see this issue. It's probably the same thing as the disk (the appliance don't know how to fetch CPU and Memory data). I don't have time the next few days to search the files, but i'll do that ASAP

@pctechsolution Found it:

I rebooted the VM with a Debian CD and searched using grep to check if "/dev/sd" was present in any files—and it was!

You'll need to modify two files (with a live CD):
    /opt/dell/omc/utilities/tui/bin/ome_disk_config.sh
    /opt/dell/mcsi/appliance/scripts/appliance_ressource.sh

In these files, replace /dev/sd with /dev/xvd.

After making those changes, reboot the VM, and you should see the 415GB appear on the "Configure Appliance Disk Size" page.

Let me know if this works!

@pctechsolution Yeah someone ran into the issue too, i found the solution but i didn't update my blog post. Let me check my notes

@adminofadmins Hi ! DM me

@McHenry Oh, I didn't see you are doing continuous replication.
This tab is only to restore VM from a remote

@McHenry Hi

You can click on the "Refresh backup list" to see your backups

@Affonso Hi !
Are you using XCP-ng 8.2.1 or 8.3 ?
I can't find the 24.03 iso, is this the paid version ?

@bvivi57 Ah yes, good catch, I didn't think of that !

@bvivi57 Hum, weird.

From what i see, i can't tell you why is not working.

For the disk part, I did:

  disk {
    sr_id      = data.xenorchestra_sr.local_storage.id
    name_label = var.name
    size       = var.disk_size * 1024 * 1024 * 1024
  }

You can check my old project (I used it a couple month ago, so it should work correctly), and check if you can find some differences: https://git.ataxya.net/ataxya/Tsunami

I'll try to find some time to test your file
