@gskger, supermicro requires -I open as they don't support RMCP+.

@gskger

That's a great idea, I'm hesitant to try it while the system is already on. It should just see the power is on already and ignore it... I was able to get it to work with the power status command for testing.

Thanks!

I'm using TrueNAS for my NFS SR and I searching for a way to control the IPMI/BMC of my XCP-ng hosts. That way once the storage finishes booting, it could send an command to boot the three XCP-ng hosts.

Something like this could be done with wake on lan but I have IPMI and it's always on and more reliable.

I understand it shouldn't really be needed but.... it is for me.

Preface: This system is my homelab and is only production in the sense that it runs my house.

I am cursed to live in a city that has occasional power outage that last more than my UPS can handle. At this point the whole system shuts down.... and my locally purchased UPS doesn't support NUT or anything like it. I'm looking at ways to solve this with a raspberry pi that is powered by two sources and will host NUT... it's a work in progress.

All of my VMS are hosted on an NFS share that is much slower to boot than my XCP-ng hosts are and then the VMS never boot up even though they are set to Auto Power On.

I see there is a start delay but is there a way to have it not boot UNTIL the SR is available?

Thanks a bunch.

Sounds good. I followed the font-mfizz github instructions and created a pull request with Kali, Manjaro, and Pop_OS! icon svg files.

Not sure when it will be reviewed and merged but they should be there at some point to help make things easier.

EDIT: ugh there are basic merge request for the official git from 2018.

I found the ones that I was looking for. I can make an attempt at the code but not sure how to pull the files in.

I found archlinux in all simpleicons.org and font-mfizz.
/etc/os-release
NAME="Arch Linux"
PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux"
ID=arch
BUILD_ID=rolling

I found kali (kali linux) in simpleicons.org
PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling"
NAME="Kali GNU/Linux"
ID=kali
VERSION="2021.1"
VERSION_ID="2021.1"

I found manjaro in simpleicons.org
/etc/os-release

I found Pop!_OS in simpleicons.org

@olivierlambert

Sounds good. I'll work on finding the logos that are the size.

When the management agent is installed, some logos appear based on the OS installed. I would like to see how we can add more. I'm sure we would add a bunch of other ones like Arch, Manjoro, Kali, Parrot, etc...

Thanks

I have a VM that I created with 8GB of ram. I then wanted to up it to 32GB and so I made the chage on the General tab. When I start up the VM everything looks good.

XCP-ng: 8.2
XO-Web: 5.77.0
XO-Server: 5.74.1

My question is when I look at the Advanced tab, I see Static and Dynamic memory with different values while the max is my 32GB.

Static: 512MiB/32GiB
Dynamic: 1GiB/32GiB

Can anyone explain the difference in how the Static and Dynamic are used and should those values be what they are.

Thanks
