I'm unable to create a new VM with Xen Orchestra; when viewing the vm's disks, there is a message stating the cdrom is not completely installed and that start/stop would complete the installation. Trying to start the vm yields the following error message:

VDI_MISSING(OpaqueRef:f1c5dab1-07ce-4db8-96d7-533cca7da3b5, OpaqueRef:4c0ddfd3-d197-40c1-9043-7d3a70ed8aba).

Just for kicks Itried creating a vm with same parameters using XCP-ng Center and was successful.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

I feel I must add that I'm totally out of my depth here.

Hi!

Thanks for your response.

When XCP-ng v8.3 is up and running, I have pfSense 2.8.1 running in a vm. An Ookla speed test shows 5.77mbps download speeds and 42.07mbps upload speeds.

I then booted the r720 with a Windows 10 disk I use for undating nics and ssds. Here Ookla shows speeds of 1.8gb

Comcast rates the link at 2.5gb

Intel's current driver is at version 2.28.9.

I'm currently checking out building the driver rabbit hole but am unable to locate kernel-devel-4.19.0+1.x86_64.rpm to build against.

Best regards

Booted the system using Windows 10 and did a speed test.

The systems down speed pegged Ookla's speed test.

I'm running a Dell r720 with:

2 LSI 9300s, both internal and external flavors, with 8 ssds attached to the internal 9300 and storage array attached to the external 9300, a pci-expander with 4 U.2 ssds, an Intel I-350 daughter card for DOM0 eth0 and VM interfaces, and and Intel X710-t2l running in a pfSense 2.8.1 for firewall/router.

The X710 is running nvram version 9.54 and XCP-ng's i40e driver, version 2.25.11. Throughput is almost nothing.

There is an Intel X710-da4 on its way.

I see at https://github.com/XCP-ng/xcp/wiki/Drivers there are updated versions available but have been unable to figure out how to access them.

At this point I feel stumped.

Your input would be appreciated.

Best regards

@Andrew said in Xen-guest-tools installation problems:

You can rename libxenstore.so.4.0 to libxenstore.so.4

Thanks for the info... I figured the utilities have not yet been updated, and you have confirmed.

My host is running XCP-ng 8.3, and I have created a vm runnning pfSense 2.7.0.

I'm having difficulties with the installation of the xen-guest-tools.

I have included a screenshot showing the issue.

I was successful in resolving the issue with information found in this thread:

https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/1725/unable-to-start-vms/4

One additional piece of information. When examining the unstartable virtual machine's disks there is a notation saying that the cd drive is not completely installed.

Good morning!

I've run into a problem that has me stumped, and am looking for some guidance.

First: I'm running the XCP-ng 8.2 with the latest patches applied.

I'm attempting to create a new pfSense VM based on the "Other" template and keep receiving the follow error messages when starting the machine:

VDI_MISSING(OpaqueRef:f1c5dab1-07ce-4db8-96d7-533cca7da3b5, OpaqueRef:4f96d039-f7c3-49b4-83cb-ba676a434ab8)

I deleted the first attempted VM and this morning tried to create a new machine and again received this error:

VDI_MISSING(OpaqueRef:f1c5dab1-07ce-4db8-96d7-533cca7da3b5, OpaqueRef:4c0ddfd3-d197-40c1-9043-7d3a70ed8aba)

Thoughts?
