Title: XCP-ng Stack and SSH becoming unresponsive after trying to setup a OPNsense VM
Post by: MrXeon on November 12, 2022, 04:55:59 am

Hi there, I'm struggling to get OPNsense DVD installer to properly boot within a Xen VM, the installer boots and crashes at somepoint, XCP-ng stack and SSH become unresponsive at random points before becoming infinitely stuck, only a hard reboot and forcing the OPNsense VM to halt will allow those services to be accessible, Other VM's like Debian work fine... So far I've tried checking dmesg within XCP-ng only thing worth mentioning is that the XO and NFS for my ISO SR's become unresponsive during this time (Their hosted on a separate machine functioning as they should).

I've tried configuring the VM both in UEFI and BIOS mode, I've also tried giving it more resources beyond a reasonable hardware configuration so I'm not too sure what's causing this kuffle..

[Specs]

Supermicro X8dtt-hf+ running Special OEM Ami BIOS

16GB of DDR3 ECC RAM

Dual Xeon 5660

Sata 3 SSD

Latest Stable XCP-ng and Latest Stable OPNsense both disk images passed their validity checks.
----------‐-----------------

Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

Regards,

MrXeon.

I've solved the issue a little while back, it was definitely user error.

OPNsense expects the theoretical "LAN" to be highest priority when initializing and the theoretical "WAN" to be second..

Here's a screenshot of the working method within XO...
