    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.

    Sounds doable, but it's another feature in the backlog We really need to move forward with XO 6. However, can you: check if there isn't already something in XO Github repo on that topic if not, please create it This way, we are sure it won't disappear

    @stevezemlicka Thanks for mentioning this and reporting your "mistake" on the forums. I had been banging my head against the wall for a day before finding this post and realising the obvious.

    What do you mean by moving? Moving the disk or just the VM memory?

    Okay, cool down and let me explain a bit That's because those templates are not part of Xen Orchestra software itself, because those VM templates are things we build and assemble on our part, then upload to our own servers, hosted for people registered with the virtual appliance (XOA). So using XO from the sources is not losing any XO features because XOA hub templates aren't part of it This is extra stuff outside XO scope, that we give for free for our XOA users (yes, XOA Free users). So we do not get any money for this. It's just operating systems pre-configured with Cloudinit installed (or sometimes not). Again, it's not part of XO itself, and nothing prevent you to build your own templates, ready with Cloudinit. I hope it's more clear now.

    @olivierlambert said in Warnings & errors in journalctl: Do you have multiple XOs accessing the same remote? There's only one backup job running from my XO VM. There is an active instance of XOA, but it is just used for testing and is sitting idle.

    You need to restart the service as root/sudoer, eg sudo systemctl restart xoa-updater. Note that you can have XOA support with our ticket system, even on XOA Free If you want someone at Vates dedicated to your issue, please create a ticket!

    Since the update I have run full backup that have taken over an hour to complete due to their size and many smaller delta backups and the error has not come up again. I assume whatever was causing the error was fixed in the xo-server 5.84.2 update.

    @dariosplit said in Copy an existing backup: For example in pfsense I copy the firewall rules and change the name of it, and of the port while everything stays the same. I have a lot of VM and for each VM i have several rules for backup, (time and place). I would remove copy it just a unnecessary repeat I have been using tags together with smart backup. This works really well.

    "Recovery" is only an option for PV guest (not HVM), when you want to re-use the initial bootloader. It has nothing to do to recover anything else. You should be in HVM for all your VMs by the way, it's more secure and even faster.

    @heman said in XO from sources compile warnings: Deprecation Warning: Using / for division is deprecated and will be removed in Dart Sass 2.0.0. FWIW, I see the same warnings. I imagine this is a "known issue" as far as the developers are concerned.
