Guest UEFI Secure Boot looks like a great guide. Everyone needs to read the "Boothole and fallouts" section.

Rule out problems with your old firefox profile by creating a new firefox profile dedicated to non internet stuff. We should always use a dedicated profile for internal only websites such as your firewall webpage, XenOrchestra, freeNAS, and so on.

• Win2019 msconfig.exe seems to be in "safe-mode part way" because msconfig.exe will not let me choose a normal startup. It reverts back to "Selective Startup".
• "Normal Startup" radio box will not stick. Click "Normal Startup" radio box and then "OK" button to exit msconfig.exe. Relaunch msconfig.exe and notice it reverted back to "Selective Startup".
• The Win2019 VMs seem to run ok, but some hard to resolve problem with an application I trying to resolve.
• Anybody else see this issue?
• Have no idea if this has anything to do with XCP-ng or not.
• Windows update drivers.

@stormi Installation of MS KB4535680 is failing for us as well as many others. To be clear, we have not downloaded the latest patches mentioned in XOA. Will simply installing the latest ca-certificates (dated Sept 14, 2021) and updated grub-efi (dated June 29, 2021) along with the other updates such as xcp-ng-release-config 8.2.0-8 fix this or do we have to manually make changes mentioned above as well?

I expect having Windows reboot into UEFI and configuring the UEFI to attempt secure boot will be necessary no matter what. Meeting with a software vendor later today and they may ask why MS KB4535680 is not installed.

@olivierlambert
So 39% on the Citrix host shows as 0% in XO,
but 51% on the Citrix host shows as 100% in XO.
Got it. Hopefully, we can put that nonsense behind us soon.

@olivierlambert
Yes, the relevant host is Citrix 6.5!, thank you. Moving more VMs to XCP-ng over-the-holidays.

Large difference between xe task-list versus the xo tasks web page.

XOA "Tasks" says the task is 100% done. Has been at 100% for over two hours.
xe task-list says only about 50% done.

GLPI is an ITIL v2 project started by "Remi Collet" with forums at . GLPI inventories equipment and software on your network and uses that to provide input to a troubleticket system.

• ITIL v2 Service Desk
• Knowledge Base.
• License Management
• Integrates with everything
• LDAP / AD integrated
• Small Business to Data Center Infrastructure Management
• Management of contracts, contacts, documents related to inventory items
• For instance, makes it very easy to manage toner cartridge tracking and supply.

I had similar problems in 8. Even though I had static leases set in DHCP, oftentimes services come up before the IP address has been obtained. The physical console and SSH worked, but not XOA nor XCP center.

Set a static IP address and reboot.

If that does not work, repeat the installation and set a static IP at install.
Make sure your IP address has not changed and look at the lease time. Is it only leased out for a few minutes?

Here is where we discussed it for version 8:
Broken Host Consoles in fresh xcp-ng 8 installation. VM consoles work.

@moradin
i am not sure exactly what you are saying in your last post and would very much appreciate it if you could expound on it with the simplicity of your previous posts Also, have you found 8.1 to be better at matching up VIFs when moved to a completely different host? I believed the vLan ID number would be the primary method of mapping, but apparently it is not.

@pdonias @julien-f What is the default behavior or a normal XAPI VM import when it comes to VIF mapping? Could you point to documentation, please? We are getting hung up on this.
