    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.

    @wawa That doesn't sound right. Since you're running XOA, I would suggest contact their support to have them investigate.

    @olivierlambert said in Alerts in XO/XOA?: it's in your dashboard view. Do you mean the Alarms section? It is not showing anything for me. There is no log showing past events.

    Weird… Can you remove the snapshot of the failing VM and try again to see if you still have the error? To me it's like the delta capability on XCP-ng side is failing on a specific disk

    @gskger said in create XO account from ssh: I completely missed that in the troubleshooting documentation but it is already there - nice @olivierlambert said in create XO account from ssh: As @gskger siad, this was already documented and visible by searching the term "recover" in the search bar Uh - I tried a lot of other search terms, just not recover. Anyway - I'm back on track, thank you very much for all your help.

    "It's complicated". The simple way is to copy your VHD to create a new one that will be unfragmented.

    @stevewest15 I don't have any advice of the fiability of b2 Their design require us to make a minor modification to our upload service . During a full xva backup to a S3 like service, each part uploaded is uploaded along its hash and that is used to control the integrity
