I was thinking more of updating the entire set of the agent and drivers, similar to how XenServer VM Tools for Windows have it implemented. Using a scheduled job, they regularly check whether an update is available, and if so, they carry out the update of both the agent and the drivers themselves.
Hi, how’s it looking regarding a possible automatic update?
Unfortunately, we will have a bit of delay from our side. We are only able to get sufficient downtime for testing with the servers in the first half of August. So I will have to wait until then to try out the fixes.
@jvanabra Hi,
From the first log file you uploaded, I see there is a timeout issue during the transfer. It is this part which triggers a bug (thank you for highlighting that!) where an alias is missing because the directory itself is not present.
There may be two causes to this: either your SR is under a lot of pressure and makes some timeouts, or there is a firewall or network config making timeouts after 72s

linstor n l was included in my original post.
All nodes were updated to May 2026 Security and Maintenance Updates for XCP-ng 8.3 LTS, all nodes were restarted.
May 2026 Updates #2 for XCP-ng 8.3 LTS was released, and a couple days later I installed on all hosts. No host restarted.
When xen04 was restarted, that is when this issue happened.
I had used systemctl restart linstor-controller here (https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/105309) to restart the controller.
