    In case anyone wonders how this played out. At the end of the day, I shutdown the host with the running workloads on it, kept it at BIOS boot so the 8.3 installer would upgrade it cleanly, and then booted it back up. For reasons related to my particular setup, the down time was more than 60 minutes. But that's not related to XCP-ng. The XCP-ng installer was maybe 10 of that. 20 of that was 3 reboots on a server that takes ages to boot. One thing that is a bit difficult is that the 8.3 installer doesn't notice ZFS volumes or help with ZFS. So after the upgrade, I have to follow a modified set of these instructions (modified because the package names have changed over time) to install ZFS and its components into the system. So the sequence is: Shutdown Install via ISO Reboot to single user mode Run yum update to pull in all the updates Run the ZFS commands to install ZFS on the host Reboot again Run normally Of course, I ended up rebooting more than just those 2 times, because I forgot that I would need to install ZFS (even though I did it on 2 different hosts already ) So now the pool is fully upgraded, everybody is happy. I'm now working on creating shared storage across the nodes. It's amateur hour over here. I appreciate all the help.

    @olivierlambert XO and XO Proxy are using the same code and the same backup workers to run backup jobs. If there are differences in perf, IMHO, they come from the appliances themselves and/or their networks. Keep in mind that data flows from the host, via XO or XO proxy, to the remote storage. Maybe the proxy is further from the host and/or the remote regarding the network?

    Ok, I'll look into it some more. Right now, I'm just looking for XOCE to be hosted in the XOSTOR to avoid any issues with an NFS in my homelab going down. I have a spare M.2 NVME in each host that I can use, I'm pretty sure that my XOCE isn't very big.

    That's correct. It's the new "reference" for the following delta, so we need to be able to read the full when we restore the backup (or a file) or when we coalesce (when reaching the retention). That's why compressing the full isn't trivial.

    Wouldn't that support something like doesn't match pattern? I got similar monitoring, although i have a custom script that does the check but essentially i just look for status being successand if not, then alert.

    Same here with a German keyboard where backshlashes require using the AltGR key. With most other (especially when cascaded) remove viewers, hitting Ctr, Alt and AlgGr keys alone helps to get shift states back in order, but not here. BTW I also noted that hitting the RDP button, didn't lauch RDP, just lost the mouse but not they keyboard, which is also rather strange.

    @olivierlambert and @lukas , indeed it is already in our backlog. We 'll do our best to deliver it in the first trimester. FYI: Github issues : #4016 #4605 and also in our private Wekan board #725 For each VDI, select target SR (or ignore) - Vates team use only

    It's an RDP URL available in your browser. You need to have configured your browser with a working app to link the rdp:// URL to your remote desktop application.

    @wlp94114 I had the same error. My ISO repository is on an SMB share, but the files were not readable by the ID I had mounted the share with in Xen. I corrected the permission on the file, and could get the VM to start.

    @thenorthernlight I doubt it's necessary. My XO is built entirely from source. It's probably just missing a dependency in the image I downloaded. (From here, in case anyone is curious: https://github.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater) Thanks!

    @ronivay You make a good Point. What I didn't know, that I do now, I wasn't "naming" my schedules. Once you do that, it replaces the Cron time. So I called my things like "Daily @ 4:30 - Diff" but obviously naming schemes are broad.

    Plain shutdown should trigger the same consequence because there's a systemd unit that will do actions (like halting the VMs before the reboot)
