@olivierlambert Awesome! Thank you so much!

@olivierlambert thanks for confirming!

Wow this great news and amazing work!!!

@olivierlambert Business 2 pools updated fine.

@olivierlambert I am open to building stuff into XCP-ng if my knowledge was there to do it.

@olivierlambert said in Dell cancels VMWare contract after Broadcom purchase: Time to make a phone call to Dell Yes sir do it. I hopefully a contract between you / Vates and Dell is on the horizen. Really hope XCP-ng comes as the standard for Virtualization just like ESXi once was.

@olivierlambert Good vacation and rest well ️

@Sergiu Good job! Hard to tell what was wrong, but Im happy you resolved it.

@grapesmc at one point I had the idea to set up a xcp-ng build environment and build netdata in there, then simply copy it over to the xcp-ng hosts. Unfortunately I was not able to dedicate the time to this so far.

@john-c @stormi @olivierlambert All, given the complexities involved in providing an automated solution for this issue, it may make the most sense at this time to mitigate any negative outcomes using an installation/update warning. For instance, throw a message dialog issued by both the ISO installer and the pool update feature in XO such as: WARNING: One or more of the pending updates may alter your VM's firmware. If you are using Microsoft BitLocker to encrypt virtual drives, you should exit now and suspend BitLocker prior to performing this update. (Provide customer with Exit or Continue buttons with Exit selected by default.)

@Danp Yes I did that and it looks good now.

Thanks for your feedback @loopway ! Happy to make your home lab running

just a personal opinion I'm leaving here, no follow-up needed. If I want to run containers I use OKD. I've always seen all the comments about keeping the dom0 controller to a minimum, docker alone adds a 2GB overhead to it, no more problems in adding stuff to it.

Thanks! Don't miss Daniel Stenberg stories, they are gold (eg: being insulted because someone found some curl sources in a bigger software). Some gems with the right tag in his blog: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/tag/funny/

As I already explained in different places, what matters is the hypervisor, kernel, OVS and such important packages. We can still backport security fixes ourselves on various packages inside the OS. XCP-ng is only partially based on CentOS, only using non-critical CentOS packages (NOT the kernel, NOT Xen, NOT OVS, SMAPI/XAPI aren't packaged in CentOS etc.). XCP-ng is NOT your regular distro, it's an appliance where we backport relevant security fixes. Be sure that next major version won't even have SSH access enabled by default.

We are very well aware about all of this. But we are not a distro entirely based on RHEL at all (again, all the network, kernel, storage and compute plus many other things are NOT coming from RHEL). On a personal point of view, I'm a strong proponent of Copyleft licenses and the greater good, in the original spirit of free software. To me, there's a real moral contract between the software editors and the users. You can read my detailed opinion in this blog post: https://virtualize.sh/blog/the-moral-contract/ Due to those personal opinions, I'm really unhappy with RedHat move (and behind Alma and Rocky), but this is NOT clashing with our position for the next major release. So no, we won't be directly disrupted by this move.
