many thanks, to start our evaluation XCP-ng + XOA we wait new ISO

XCP-ng maximum hardware nic quantity (eth ports) per host is 16 ...correct ?

sorry for unwanted bold characters in previous post

I do confirm, 8.3 LTS installation boot sequence hungs with these two adapters:

Broadcom 57504 25G SFP28 Quad Port Adapter OCP 3.0 NIC
firmware version: 23.31.18.10 (Dell p/n 540-BCRX)

Broadcom 57504 Quad Port 10/25GbE SFP28 Adapter, PCIe Full Height
firmware version: 23.31.18.10 (Dell p/n 540-BDCZ)

Leaving enabled only these ones, we have NO HUNGS during 8.3 boot:

Broadcom 5720 Dual Port 1GbE LOM
firmware version: 23.31.1 (Dell p/n 540-BDKD)

Broadcom 5719 Quad Port 1GbE BASE-T Adapter PCIe Low Profile V2
firmware version: 23.31.1 (Dell p/n 540-BDRK)----

in my first XCP-ng test server, I have this Broadcom network adapters (Dell R760):

a) Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet (BCM5720)
b) Broadcom Adv. Quad 25Gb Ethernet
c) Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet BCM5719
d) Broadcom BCM57504 4x25G SFP28 PCIE
e) Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet BCM5719

adapters at point a) ad b) are integrated (but I can try to disable them using BIOS),
the other adapters can be disabled also extracting them (PCI).

if useful I can do that and identify which one is causing 8.3 installation boot stuck

many thanks for your answer

this seems to be common to other installation issue posts with Dell BOSS-N1, PERC H755, H965i ... and happens only starting from 8.3 LTS

@yllar said in Test results for Dell Poweredge R770 with NVMe drives:

@dthenot

Good evening. I'm new to XCP-ng.
I'm evaluating the migration from Esxi for some of our customers.

@dthenot

I have the same failure with Dell Poweredge R760 with same BOSS N1 and PERC H965i,
with this sequence:

[FAILED] Failed to start udev Wait for Complete Devide Initialization.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for XCP-ng Installer.

[FAILED] Failed to start Activation of LVM2 logical volumes.

[FAILED] Failed to start LSB: Enable some devices previously disabled.

@dthenot can "enlighten me" which 8.2.1 rpms could be injected into a custom 8.3 ISO to resolve the installation boot error ?

[xcp-ng-8.2.1-20231130.iso] works fine.

tks
