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: Updates announcements and testing
@gduperrey Installed on several old and new Intel machines. Working as expected.

@Dataslak Are you booting the newest 8.2.1 IOS?

RE: UEFI Firmware not supported
@Danp I did not know it was just reporting what was in the template. I thought it actually looked for the UEFI boot volume.
The Debian Bookworm 12 template contains:
recommendations ( RO): <restriction field="supports-uefi" value="no"/>

UEFI Firmware not supported
@olivierlambert I have many VMs on XCP 8.2.1 set for UEFI boot but XO source (commit 8eb4d) and XOA (5.93.1) show the message
Firmware not supported
when boot firmware is set to UEFI (for many VMs). A specific example is Debian 11 (and 12) installed and working with UEFI boot.
An example that works is FreeBSD 14 set to UEFI boot and it does NOT show the warning in XO. Also, Windows 10 UEFI does not show the warning. So, maybe it's just Debian Linux installs.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@stormi So, is it better/safer to now just use
xcp-ng-ci
for an actual representation of XCP 8.3/Xen 4.17 beta/RC release? -
RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@stormi The base update conflicts with the 4.17 lab update...
@olivierlambert Will XCP-ng 8.3 be using Xen 4.17 for the release (like XenServer)? If so, when will Xen 4.17 be part of the base install?

RE: Rolling Pool Update - host took too long to restart
@dsiminiuk I think it's about 15 minutes... I don't see it being adjustable in XO.
I thought my HP G8 servers were slow to boot at 10 minutes....
What would you recommend as a timeout? 30 minutes?

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@bleader Did they get published to the right directory? I don't see anything in testing (stuff is in incoming).

RE: Mellanox ConnectX-3 - Card not working
@Pyroteq If you goal is to get 10G ethernet then buy a newer better supported card... (like Intel x540)
The ConnectX-3 is rather old and odd. You can try a firmware update/reflash to the card as old firmware on the Mellanox cards is a known problem. There are people using them with XCP.
Also, there are several versions of the Mellanox card, including dedicated FCoE.
If you MUST use Mellanox then use the newer (but still old) ConnectecX-4 cards (10/25G ethernet).

RE: Managing 1000+ VMs in 3 pools
@olivierlambert It might be easier to have a folder view without actually having true folders.
You could use tags like F/foldername/secondlevelname to generate a folder view (for each object with a non-default or empty tag). You could have more than one folder tag to allow an object (not just VMs) to appear in multiple folders. You could auto generate a folder view without tags (like XCP-ng Center) that is a top down pool view with hosts, VMs, SR, etc, as folders under it. Or just emulate the XCP-ng Center Organization View.
One more needed feature to get rid of XCP-ng Center.
