RE: Updates announcements and testing
@gduperrey I jumped in all the way by mistake... I updated a wrong host, so I just did them all. Older AMD, Intel E3/E5, NUC11, etc. So far, so good. Add/migrate/backup/etc VMs are working as usual. Good for guest tools too, but mine are mostly Debian 7-11. Stuff is as usual so far.

RE: Can I just say thanks?
I agree and I'll say it again, Thanks! It's not just Linux/Xen stuff. It is XCP-ng and XO that make everything work as a cohesive vertical open-source solution (some nice buzz words). Thanks to the Vates team and community that have built and support it. I look forward to ongoing continuous improvement and innovation!

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@bleader Updates running on several old and new intel machines (including microcode update). Working fine so far. Rolling Pool Reboot is a helpful feature.

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@bleader I installed it on a bunch of busy hosts. All are fine, but none used PCI passthrough. The Rolling Pool Reboot in XO was very helpful.

RE: Xen 4.17 on XCP-ng 8.3!
@stormi Thanks! 4.17 Installed and running on a NUC10. Things seem to be working, but it's just a test... And for everyone who will ask... No, Windows Hyper-V server does not work (as expected).

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@stormi New update version
edk2-20220801-1.7.3.xcpng8.3.x86_64
fixed my FreeBSD UEFI boot problem (stuck on boot countdown). XCP reboot NOT required after install. Windows 10 and Ubuntu boot correctly also (but did before too). I did not test secure boot or bitlocker. -
RE: Updates announcements and testing
@gduperrey XO (current source) rolling pool update did its job.

RE: XO server loses pool and hosts momentarily, timeout error
@felibb There were some issues with undici that were resolved in a later commit 0794a63 (early April). It might be worth trying after that fix too.

RE: "Hardware-assisted virtualization is not enabled on this host" even though platform:exp-nested-hvm=true is set
@abudef @olivierlambert @stormi Ok, so we can't hot migrate a VM from 8.3 back to 8.2.... I get it... Cold migration fails also, I almost understand why it won't work because there might be features missing. Then why does Warm migration work?
Can normal cold migration be forced to work? May be as a check box/warning option that features might not be available (like TPM)?

RE: Unable to create more than 7 VIFs for a VM / Adding Trunk Network to VM
@Morpheus0x FreeBSD will crash if you add too many VIFs.
As for the MTU... You can assume that the normal 1500 MTU is needed BEFORE a VLAN tag is added. On a normal interface, the VLAN tag is added AFTER the MTU in the OS by the hardware interface (adds 4 bytes+the packet).
If you are connecting a Xen hardware interface (without VLANs) to a VM interface and then trying to do VLANs in the VM, yes, you will need to add 4 to the Xen interface MTU because the VM is adding the VLAN tag and the Xen interface sees 1504 bytes in the packet (VLAN tag+data). You'll also need your switch port to handle tagged frames. Note, many switches won't accept tagged frames that match the native VLAN for the port.
Most physical interfaces can deal with baby giants that are MTUs a little larger than 1500 but smaller than Jumbo frames (ie. 9000).

RE: Pool overview - Some suggestions
@nikade @olivierlambert
I was just thinking the same thing. Yes, XO needs a pool STORAGE tab.But, It is already there. If you click on the 9xDISKS graphic right in middle then you'll get the data you seek. It's not as obvious as a labeled tab.

RE: "Hardware-assisted virtualization is not enabled on this host" even though platform:exp-nested-hvm=true is set
@olivierlambert On XCP 8.3/Xen 4.17 the whole vmx option is missing from any VM's CPU.... Waiting for the other bits...

RE: Passint through Serial Port
@rfx77 I don't think you can passthrough an on-board standard 8250 serial port.
You could passthrough a USB serial adapter. You could also passthrough a PCIe serial card.

RE: OmniOS / Illumos / Solaris as a guest - not working
@mchadley002 @BobTB12 Thanks for the info! I concur, it boots now! (XCP 8.2 and 8.3)
Two important hints: First
ENABLE Viridian
for the VM. It does not want to boot without it. SecondBOOT with UEFI
, BIOS does work but disk IO sucks.I used the ISO boot image: OI-hipster-minimal-20240426.iso
