Would be nice to share our homelabs, might interest new users:

I'll begin:

1 pool with 2x Protectli VP6670 (64GB and 96GB RAM) (2x 10G bonded for VM network, 1x 2,5G for management network).
Both with Internal 1TB SSD as local ext4 SR, 1TB nvme for OS and SR.
NFS-SR on QNAP TBS-h574TX (10G connection) and QNAP TVS-h1288X for backups (10G connection, NFS).

2 switches:
Mikrotik CRS312-4C+8XG for 10G network
Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S for 1G and POE

Netgate 8200 pfsense for firewall
ODROID-N2+ for HomeAssistant, Uptime Kuma moitoring

@gduperrey 1 HomeLab-Pool (via cli: yum update and reboot), 3 Business-Pools (via RPU), total 7 servers updated without issues.

manilx

@stormi Updated 2 pools @office but on both RPU failed after updating master and emptying secondary host. Had to install patches manually and then move VM's back......

manilx

@olivierlambert Master, commit fcefa: fixed!

manilx

@florent Updated.

Did a backup job: OK
Did the mirror job: OK

Great!

manilx

@Prilly Man you need to calm down. Your post(s) with shit here shit there has bad "tone".

I don't think this will get a lot of help/attention from Vates.

And they are more than helpful, even without payed support.

@poddingue I see backups in the tasks view fine, just not mirror ones. I'm talking about v5, haven't converted to v6 yet because of missing features.

manilx

@poddingue I have installed XO 6.4 yesterday. I just started a mirror incremental and no taks are shown. It is running "silently" as always.
No change.

manilx

@olivierlambert The units are top notch!

I still have 1 FW6C 2 FW6E's (had them running proxmox before, xcp-ng after that but switched to the VP6670 because of 10G network).

NEVER ever had one single issue with them. Also bios updates are easy.

manilx

@gduperrey Updated 2 pools/2 servers @home, updated 3 pools/5 servers @ office with RPU.
All fine.

manilx

@poddingue You're right. The RPU task shown in the list was a previous one. Even that one finished fine.

So both RPU tasks didn't show at all today! My bad.

The evacuation and remirroring tasks were all shown.

Latest XOA 6.7.1

Updated all our 3 pools via RPU:

Backup via CLI as it runs XOA

Then DR. Tasks showed RPU on pool PRD instead of DR. RPU finished just fine but task stayed.

Then RPU on PRD. Task did not change. Finished also fine. task stayed.

Restarted toolstack. Task stayed. Just deleted the task from list.

The issue was RPU showing on pool PRD when it was doing pool DR and then not finishing (in the task list) and staying when RPU did run on PRD and finished.

manilx

@gduperrey Restarted and the task persisted. Deleted it from the list.

This is a new one:

manilx

@poddingue Not seeing it anymore

manilx

@Andrew I have the RPU failing most of the time now also. I have reported and opened a ticket. No solution so far. It's a hit and miss and beginning to be a PITA.

manilx

@marcoi I've read in the blog post of Vates that no.
Did it anyway.

manilx

@MajorP93 As you replied to my message and not to stormi.... Just wanted to clear up any misunderstanding.
