    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.

    @karlisi Thanks for the reply. If you go to http://your.xcp-ng.host.ip you will receive web UI OK I understand now - thanks. They are calling community version (from sources) XO and precompiled virtual appliance (paid version) XOA. Thanks for the clarification.

    Thank you! So I must be doing something wrong as I'm getting the following error when I add in the old NFS mount which has the backups: [image: 1640195910502-dc65c765-1542-4c58-8082-fbb54e33f3c9-image.png] The /mnt/Tank/VMs mount contains the previous XO backups as well as some active VM storage: [image: 1640196114557-680455d2-9559-4fe9-a8a2-127762d5b61b-image.png] FreeNAS has two 10Gbe nics which are isolated based on the type of traffic: 10.10.1.5 is for VM traffic 10.10.2.3 is for Backups/Migration traffic

    @heman Yes. The management interface on each host (Eth4) is in the same vlan as XOA's management interface. Storage vlans on each host (Bond0) is in the same storage vlan as the second interface on XOA (setup for backups) with no gateway.

    @zevgeny Hi, yes this can be easily done by just creating a new network as you described. VMs will be able to access anything in that network/subnet without extra configuration. If they ever need to talk to things outside of that network/subnet (like the internet), they would need a router to route the traffic between subnets

    @danp Sweet that worked! Thank you!! This things pretty kickass, I was just able to duplicate a VM that was rendering heavy CG to a completely different node and had that duplicate VM rendering in less than 5 mins... Thank you so much for the assistance!

    @danp It's a warning for an indirect dependency (@vuepress/core > url-loader), I don't think we should worry about it.

    I know this has come up before. It may have been in the old XO forum.
