Now that host1 is powered off.

Parameters seem ok.

power-on-mode ( RO): iLO
power-on-config (MRO): power_on_ip: 192.168.1.44; power_on_user: Administrator; power_on_password_secret: 94171423-9ac2-beac-6b87-81699a0a7de6

Run...

xe host-power-on host=cdb42b94-7ec6-47b4-aaef-d4c52f6bd7b3

The cursor sits at column 1 after the newline from the command and never times out.

I know this isn't an XO problem, but in case somebody else gets this far...

I'm going to have to get into tcpdump to find out what is going on there.

The unresolved task disappeared once host2 became available.

Restarting the toolstack from XO or XCP-ng didn't clear it.

I'm manually powering up host 2 to migrate all VMs and change the pool master so I can reboot host1.

I also found the "xe secret-create value=my-password" to produce the UUID in the doc.

Now iLO is configured on the master for both of my hosts.

I am unable to kill/cancel the previous power on attempt from XO web.

Async.host.power_on (on xcpng01) 0%

Is there a way to clear this?

I got my master server set through XCP-ng Center to see what the params look like in xe host-list params=all

                         power-on-mode ( RO): iLO
                       power-on-config (MRO): power_on_ip: 192.168.1.44; power_on_user: Administrator; power_on_password_secret: 94171423-9ac2-beac-6b87-81699a0a7de6

I don't see a way to set these params in XO and if I wanted to set them from the xe CLI, I don't know how I would hash the password.

You're funny. The very first comment by "Ringo" on that very thread is me. I wasn't able to get that to work so "Xen Orchestra" told me to me post here. Round and round I go.

But I'll try again just for posterity.

Hi again Olivier, on the hosts page

What is behind the "power on" button in XO (built from sources)? Is there a configuration item to run a script?

Clicking on the start button for a server that is powered off leaves the server in a state of "Busy(power on)".

@olivierlambert said in XCP-ng 7.5.0 final is here:

Yeah but 7.4 won't be maintained, so it would be better to try to see if it's a XS issue or not.

My bleeding edge attempt has been dulled. I'll try again later after seeing if the root cause is identified.

I exported all my VMs to XVA. Wiped disks, installed anew from 7.4, updated to latest with yum, imported VMs.
Everything works as it should; live migrations, everything.
