    • RE: Boot New VM to ISO in XO-Lite?

      @ph7 where are you seeing secure boot in XO-Lite? I don't even have that option 🤔 After creating a VM in XO-Lite, I see boot settings and Secure Boot is shown as Disabled

    • RE: Boot New VM to ISO in XO-Lite?

      @olivierlambert Thank you for looking into it Olivier; and...not that you all have extra time on your hands... 😛 ...but if you could enable being able to configure Host networking in XO-Lite, I think that would be a semi-urgent feature to release as well. Thanks.

      @Greg_E Ah, ok..yeah...guess I did 😛
      Yep, agree. Really needs more functions...like networking 😉 (and elsewhere) ha

    • RE: Boot New VM to ISO in XO-Lite?

      @olivierlambert - I just removed my UEFI-based VM and created BIOS-based one. It booted right up to the ISO. So it appears lack of functionality with UEFI booting to ISO. Not sure if that's a function of UEFI in general, or lack of feature set of XO-Lite. Well, may be both. Would be nice to have that boot order feature in XO-Lite, like in XO, which should take care of the issue with UEFI booting to ISO.

      @olivierlambert Greg, in my other forums post, confirmed this lack of functionality as well.

    • RE: Boot New VM to ISO in XO-Lite?

      @olivierlambert There is nowhere in XO-Lite to be able to change the boot order. That is the issue. Lack of functionality for that.

      @Greg_E XO-Lite is pretty slick I must say. Would like it to be a bit...mmm....more navigation friendly maybe? Same with XO. But, I like it. Just needs more functions of course 🙂

    • RE: Boot New VM to ISO in XO-Lite?

      @olivierlambert Nothing out of the ordinary Olivier. I created a VM in XO-Lite and selected my Ubunut ISO. I finished it and it powered on and would not boot to ISO. There is no setting, like in XO, to force boot the VM to the ISO....unless I'm missing something, which of course may be the case 😛

    • RE: Create VM with ISO in XO-Lite

      @Greg_E hahaha..funny Greg. I just created a new post/question on the very thing you stated -> am unable to get my UEFI-based VM to boot to ISO. So, I guess I'll have to change it to BIOS-based and create it. Hopefully I can change it back to UEFI after creation and it be all good.

      I am going through multiple avenues of testing, beit xcp-ng, XO-Lite, and XO...and am working on many posts for the Veeam Community (you can check out the site if you like at: community.veeam.com ). So will be going through as much as I can to help the virtualization community as a whole transition away from VMware if they want to...and feel XCP is the way to go for them.

      @olivierlambert yes sir..am good to go. Sorry for my mis-typing and taking time of your support folks due to my misstep 😕 But really appreciate the assist!

    • Boot New VM to ISO in XO-Lite?

      Hi again great XCP-ng Team and Community!
      I've yet another question with regards to functionality in XO-Lite. I just worked through my mess-up in creating a custom ISO SR on my XCP-ng Host so I can create a new VM from ISO. All good (now 😉 ). I boot up the VM and it never sees the ISO. There's no settings I can see to change boot order to boot the VM to ISO. I saw another Forums post:
      https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/10760/starting-over-fresh-build-with-xo-lite./4
      ...and seems a way to get this to work is change the VM's boot firmware from UEFI to BIOS? Hmm.. 🤔 ....not sure that's a good thing to do. If doing this works, can I change the firmware back to UEFI after creation? If this works, is this functionality going to be added for UEFI in a (hopefully soon) future XO-Lite version? Thanks!

    • RE: Create VM with ISO in XO-Lite

      @MathieuRA - I think I'm good now. And, I think I know what I did incorrectly. I performed the process as I stated, but I think my xe cmd to create my custom ISO SR wasn't completely correct. I think I copied/pasted the cmd in Oliver's post. But, the directory I created on my host was named "iso_store", not "ISO_Store" as is shown in Olivier's post. So, I ran the cmds to 'unplug' then 'forget' the SR I created, then recreated it and I can now see the Ubuntu ISO I uploaded. I think I'm good now. I'll revert this post to a question and we can close this out. Thanks for the assist!

    • RE: Create VM with ISO in XO-Lite

      And, I used Olivier's blog to create my local SR.
      https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2022/05/05/how-to-create-a-local-iso-repository-in-xcp-ng

      Only 2 cmds - 1. create a dir; 2. run the xe cmd. I then used scp to upload my Ubuntu ISO to the directory I created. So all "seems" like it's ready & good to go, but again..I don't see my newly created custom local ISO SR 😕

    • RE: Create VM with ISO in XO-Lite

      @MathieuRA There has been a newer version of XCP-ng I think since this version of it I downloaded in Feb. I purposefully installed this version to go through the Rolling Update process in XO, when I can get an XO VM built 😉 I did download XCP again a couple days ago...so have the newest one. How can I verify the version of XO-Lite? Where is the build/version number listed?
      Thanks.
