I finally got my lab updated and the two vms started, so far so good. Stats data is present, the first time I've seen any of my hosts pull 100% CPU. Hosts are little HP T740 thin clients with AMD V1756B processors and 64GB of ram, in a 3 host pool.
Sorry I can't bring more detail, not really doing work on my XCP lab right now, and lots of shake up around tech. space at work.
@Andrew I bought a RTL8126 5G card (because of the price) for my home lab that doesn't appear to be working with 8.3 like you said. It is trying to use the r8125 driver.
[08:53 tw-xcp-ng-02 ~]# ethtool -i eth2
driver: r8125
version: 9.012.04-NAPI-PTP-RSS
firmware-version:
expansion-rom-version:
bus-info: 0000:02:00.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: no
supports-eeprom-access: no
supports-register-dump: yes
supports-priv-flags: no
I removed the r8125 driver and manually installed the r8126 driver which I downloaded from here. I can see the interface using the driver, and it shows the 5G capabilities of the driver, however I cannot get this to negotiate the speed (see below). I have tried this with a 2.5G switch and a 10G switch. The 10G switch can negotiate down to 5G so that shouldn't be an issue. On both switches it shows its connection as just fast ethernet. If I manually set the port on the switch to 5G I will not even get a link light.
Would you happen to have any suggestions or ideas to get the card working?

Olivier, I can say it's worse without the VGA being selected to 16Mb. That option is pretty much a must for any desktop virtualization. The novelty for me is people get far above 1080...
@cmd Hello,
It's described here in the documentation https://docs.xcp-ng.org/xostor/#map-linstor-resource-names-to-xapi-vdi-uuids
It might be possible to add a parameter in the sm-config of the VDI to ease this link, I'll put a card in our backlog to see if it's doable.
