Disabling the XCP-NG Windows Update PCIe device is a task we may need to do when managing virtual machines (VMs). At Bobcares, with our Virtualizor Support, we can handle your issues.

How to Disable XCP-NG Windows Update PCIe Device?

When working VMs on the XCP-ng platform, we may need to disable the update. By doing this, we can manually set up a customized version of the Citrix drivers instead of having them install automatically.

We must follow the below steps in order to disable this device using the command line:

1. Initially, we must make sure to power-off the VM. Typically, we need to disable the device before installing Windows.

2. Now, we need to get the UUID of the VM. So, run the command xe vm-list in the terminal. This will list all VMs along with their UUIDs. Copy the UUID of the VM for which we want to disable the device.

3. Use the following command to disable the Windows update PCIe device. We must replace the “YOURUUID” with the UUID of the VM obtained in step 2.

This command will prevent the driver setup PCIe device for the VM. Next, we can launch the VM and manually install the required drivers. It is notable that although XenOrchestra has the ability to instantly disable the Windows update, XCP-NG Center does not offer this feature. This is why the command line method is necessary.

We can efficiently oversee the Citrix driver setup process on the XCP-ng VMs by following these steps, and we can be sure that the drivers satisfy our unique needs.
