Hello there,
We have a production pool (2 hosts) that is in dire need of a new host, so we removed an newer host from another pool, but we stepped on something that i knew could be an issue.
The production pool has 2 hosts on xpc-ng.8.2.1, that had issues updating to 8.3, each host has 8 PIF interfaces, 4 copper 1gbps, 4 fiber 10Gbps. 2 of the copper PIF are not used. The newer host only has 6 PIF, 2 copper 1gpps and 4 fiber 25 Gbps.
I made sure the PIF order on the new host matches the order of active PIF.
When i try to add the new host to the pool, the dom 0 on the new host stops having network access, and shows no PIF. Configure Management Interface reports <no interfaces present>.
I bet the issues is the PIF mismatch, is there anyway i can disable the unused PIF and get add the new host? Can it be a software version missmatch? we didn't update the new host after install, because the pool is one patch behind.
Bonus question, is there a way to install guest tools on older Operating systems, like windows XP and centos 4, for some old guest systems we need to keep arround ... (yeah i know we should get alternatives ...)
