    @dinhngtu Seems like an issue for this already exists: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/issues/260 Added what I wrote above as a comment. Gnggi created this issue in xcp-ng/xenadmin open Showing wrong Virtualization state for VMs with Management agent 9.1.100 #260

    @stormi Thanks. I appreciate it. But unfortunately, I'm unable to move workloads off the master in order to take it offline because of this situation. If the solution is to turn off a host while it has live workloads, then I'm just going to shutdown the 8.2.1 slave and upgrade it to 8.3. Then I have 2 members in the pool and it's fully upgraded. Let me tell you another edge case I encountered. There are some clear mistakes in here that I made, but it is related to this issue. When I took C offline and upgraded it to 8.3, I took the opportunity to convert it to UEFI boot. That meant reformatting the boot drive, not upgrading it. I wasn't worried about that. I took it out of the pool, reformatted it, and created a one-node 8.3 pool that has just node C in it. No biggie, right? I'll just have it join the pool with the 8.3 master and all is well. No, that's not going to work. Can I at least move some workloads onto it? Nope. When you do a fresh install, pool-enable-certificate-verification defaults to yes. When you upgrade a pool, pool-enable-certificate-verification defaults to no. So I have a half-upgraded pool with 2 nodes with certificate verification disabled, and a single-node 8.3 pool with certificate verification enabled. If I try to enable certificate verification on my half-upgraded pool? Our good friend NOT_SUPPORTED_DURING_UPGRADE() comes back to say "hi". As far as I can tell, it is not possible to disable certificate verification on the single-node 8.3 pool. So I have a one-node pool where I can't turn verification off and a 2-node, half-upgraded pool where I can't turn it on. That makes it really difficult for the two pools to interoperate. If I have to be known for something, let me be known as a cautionary tale.

    From another post I gathered that there is an auto-scan feature that run by default every 30 seconds which seems to cause a lot issue when the storage contains a lot of disks or you have a lot of storage. It is not completely clear if this auto-scan feature is actually necessary and to some customers Vates helpdesk has suggested to reduce the frequency of the scan from 30 seconds to 2 minutes and that seems to have improved the overall experience. The command would be this: xe host-param-set other-config:auto-scan-interval=120 uuid=<Host UUID> where UUID is the pool master UUID. Of course I won't run that in production without Vates support re-assurance that doing so it won't have a negative impact but I think is worth mentioning this. In my situation I can see how frequents scan would cause delay on the other tasks considering that effectively my system is always under scanning with probably the scan task itself being affected by it.
