Starting from Other install media with BIOS (not uefi) is the only combo that is working with Terraform

@acebmxer thank you for testing and confirming! For those who try this... NOTE WSL 1 has the issue of throwing the error Failed to take /etc/passswd lock: Invalid argument https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/2069555/comments/12 Here is a fix sudo sed -i -e '/systemd-sysusers/s/.conf$/.conf || true/' /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postinst sudo apt --fix-broken install

@bvitnik Thank you for the great response. I have had great success with Terraform - great work. I'm not touching ocaml myself. And yes, Citrix... they are still above VMware/Broadcom on my list. But SMH. I keep promoting XCP-ng hoping some large companies take advantage of it. It's much more valuable to me than nautobot, for example.

@andSmv Thanks for taking a look at it. It's not really needed for a modern platform.

Bit of a necropost on your necropost, but this got easier in XO 6.5. The REST API now accepts a txChecksumming parameter when you create a VIF (PR #9793, https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/9793), and it maps straight onto the ethtool-tx / other_config value you were setting by hand. So, for new interfaces, you can do it through /rest/v0 now instead of the XAPI script. I think it's on the create path rather than existing VIFs, though, so for the firewalls already running your script or the gear icon is probably still the way, and I haven't tested it against a live VIF myself. Either way, it's nice to have it native in the API now. All-Ki opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed feat(rest-api): add support for txChecksumming and rateLimitting on V… #9793

UPDATE Now on XCP-ng 8.3 and XO from sources I had no problems with Windows 11. Had problem Ubuntu Noble Numbat 24.04 base template failing to boot from disk when cloned using Terraform. Changing the base template to "Other install media" resolved the issue, and the Terraform-cloned VMs work fine. EDIT: Also has problems with base template Windows Server 2025.

@AtaxyaNetwork Thank you for the feedback. It looks like there's now way around completing my VMs and converting to them templates. But that's ok! I took your advice and am successfully creating my own templates manually. One good thing with VyOS is I can enable xe-guest-utilities in the template, something I wanted to do in cloud-init. I will use Ansible to configure the router.
