RE: Stupid question on deleting old snapshots.
You should be able to delete the snapshots without causing any harm. A couple of things to keep in mind --
-
If the snapshot is associated with an existing backup job, then the next run of that job will result in a full backup instead of a delta
-
It may take some time for the snapshots to coalesce following deletion, so this could still affect your backups until they are completely removed
-
If you want to delete the backups associated with the old job, then you can from the
Backup > Health
tab in XO

How Citrix dropped the ball on Xen ... according to Citrix
Interesting read that mentions xcp-ng!

RE: Merge two Pools
Yes, it's technically possible, as long as the underlying hardware is compatible. For example, you can't put a server using AMD processors into a pool with Intel processors.
The server being moved into the existing pool will lose its local storage and all VMs stored there, so you will need to migrate those VMs to the main pool before the server is merged. Afterwards, you can move them back if desired.

RE: Pools don't appear under Settings > Servers on fresh build of XO
@swaio Yes, I'm aware of the issue with that script ATM. I haven't decided on the best way to fix it. Perhaps display a warning instead of aborting the script.
Here are some steps that should allow you to successfully update using the existing script --
sudo n lts curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_updater/master/xo-update.sh | sudo bash sudo n 18 sudo systemctl restart xo-server.service
HTH, Dan

RE: Unable to import vmdk
This sounds like the same issue discussed here. If you are using XOA (the prebuilt appliance), then you should either contact support for the fix or wait until the next release (tomorrow?) and then retest using the
latest
release channel.

RE: After installing updates: 0 bytes free, Control domain memory = 0B
@olivierlambert You would need to ask @Andrew as I only went off of his post where he stated the following

RE: XCP-NG 8.3 + rust tools - Unable to shutdown VM
@nikade said in XCP-NG 8.3 + rust tools - Unable to shutdown VM:
XEN_INCOMPATIBLE
There have been several threads related to the recent 8.3 updates where xen was updated from v4.13 to v4.17, and the user encountering problems until the host was rebooted. Could this be your issue?

RE: After installing updates: 0 bytes free, Control domain memory = 0B
@Dataslak said in After installing updates: 0 bytes free, Control domain memory = 0B:
I guess there are good reasons for not listing this on the download page (https://xcp-ng.org/#easy-to-install) ?
I had the same question. Perhaps it is because 8.2 is a LTS release and they didn't want to switch to the newer ISO by default. It's also possible that someone simply forgot to update the link.
@olivierlambert will know for sure.
Had it been available then perhaps I and others would have tried it earlier, avoided 8.3, and perhaps also avoided the big mess I'm in right now?
Not sure that is true in your case since it sounds like you've been on 8.3 for > 6 months and the new ISO has been out for less time than that.
I will now try to migrate VMs.
I don't think that you can live migrate from 8.3 to 8.2, so you will need to export to XVA format and then import to the 8.2 host.

RE: After installing updates: 0 bytes free, Control domain memory = 0B
@Dataslak XO won't treat them any differently. You will simply have a support contract that covers three of your hosts. They would need to be segmented into their own pool (simply for support reasons), but your other servers will still be manageable from XOA.
Have you tried the new 8.2 ISO that was released back in December? I thought that it now included the i915 driver.

You might want to check out the Essential or Essential+ options at https://vates.tech/pricing-and-support/. This would allow you get obtain support for up to 3 hosts.

You can export the VMs running on 8.3 and then import them to a host running 8.2

Maybe @stormi will have some ideas on how to recover your 8.3 hosts

RE: After installing updates: 0 bytes free, Control domain memory = 0B
A few comments (in no particular order) --
-
8.3 is still a beta product and it isn't recommended for production environments
-
There have been a few reports that the jump in Xen from 4.13 to Xen 4.17 has caused similar issues. My understanding is that they were resolved by rebooting the hosts, which is why I suggested the forced reboot.
-
With as many servers as you are running, you should consider adding our Pro Support so that you have a dedicated team to assist you with these types of issues
-
The
Reboot to apply updates
alert indicates that these servers haven't been rebooted (or maybe something interfered with the reboot occurring). -
You may want to fully shutdown these hosts and then check to see if these alerts are gone once they are back up.
-
The
No XCP-ng Pro Support enabled on this host
alert is expected when you are running XO from sources or XOA Free.

RE: After installing updates: 0 bytes free, Control domain memory = 0B
Have you tried performing a
force reboot
(found on the host's Advanced tab in XO) on the host? -
RE: After installing updates: 0 bytes free, Control domain memory = 0B
How about xensource.log? Anything interesting there?
