    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.

    @probain Your role seems to neither install or pin node js itself so it does not fully follow the official steps from Xen Orchestra docs. Xen Orchestra docs state to use LTS node js - installing it is something that the the ronivay XO script does. Due to this part missing in your role it can not be executed on a freshly provisioned VM, something that is not really best practice. A role that was made for the purpose of deploying a software should also install / manage it's dependencies. Other than that, thanks for sharing your role. Every contribution towards this community is great IMO.

    @ph7 Some of the errors you encountered are intended. We don't allow values in the "Virtual Machines" field if "Exclude VMs" is disabled and "All running VMs" is enabled, because it would make the plugin configuration confusing. However you're right, there seems to be an issue when the VMs are selected and then removed. The value becomes an empty list instead of being undefined, which causes the validation to fail when we try to turn off the "Exclude VMs" option. I'm going to create a task on our side so that we can plan to resolve this problem. In the meantime you can work around the problem by deleting the monitor and recreating a new one with the same parameters.

    @BenjiReis HA is automatically disabled by the RPU when it starts, then enabled at the end. - I see the task for that in the task log. We do have about 5 VMs that do not have HA enabled, but they are very small (~4GB each) so should not make any difference regardless of which hosts they were on. Also all VMs successfully evacuate from the host for the updates, its only when VMs are migrated back after all hosts are upgraded that I see a problem. I've raised a support ticket, if anything relevant comes out of it I'll try and report back here for future readers. Thanks for the suggestions, Neal.

    @Chico008 ACLs are used to assign rights to the guest users. As you said you have an admin who can do anything. In case you want to go with acl then your guest can get no leverage by using ACL create vm You as an admin will create VMs and manage other stuff but you then have ability to give three type of rights to the guest user. admin, operator, viewer In case of VMs when you give the admin right to a user then it means that user can have ability to anything with that VM. Delete, Reboot, etc But from you query you said that you want to give a right to guest user to create/run the vms to achieve this you have to look Self Service feature which is supported in XO from sources and in Premium XOA In self service you have ability to create resource sets which are pools, storage, networks, templates etc, and assign a user or group to it.

    @Andrew said in All drop-down options are empty: XO install video thanks Andrew - 100% agree Tom's video is the exact one that introduced me to the ronivay script, which is what I've used for all XO-from-source installs without problems.

    I'm starting to think that something is wrong. Everywhere I check, I can see that the SAML request from the SP should have a signature of some sort. It doesn't seem that there is anything of the sort in our case. We are using the opensource for preproduction and are waiting for a pro license (paperwork on it's way) so maybe there is something wrong in the implementation ?

    @dinhngtu said in LDAP fails with error "Code: -32000 Message: Code: 0x3": sAMAccountName Thank you. (userPrincipalName={{name}}) filter made the trick. When I use (userPrincipalName={{name}}), it works for me either I set certificate check ON or not. (Actually I was expecting to check AD root cert as this connection is using LDAPS) And also test only works when I do it using UPN but not with username@domain format. Other filter options did not work at all.

    positive Update: today I wanted to continue with this problem, but when I logged Into XOA today, Master status was Green / enabled. Since no one execpt me has credentials to the Testcluster, I am sure that no one else had done something. So the master host seemed to recovered itself from grey to green within the last 8 Hours. There were at least 1-2 hours yesterday between execution of "pool-emergency-transition-to-master" and still beeing grey dot / Halted. xe pool-emergency-reset-master master-address=... then added the remaining hosts to the new master.

    bringing up the host and restarting the tools on master seem to stop the excessive logging. EDIT: Bringing down host 3 triggers the alerts again EDIT2: Looks like it may be due to how i shutdown the host. First time I put it into maintenance mode, then did the halt command. That caused the messages to come up. Second time I just did halt and that caused the messages to come up. Third time, i hit disable first then halt. So far seems the messages are no longer coming up. I guess i should RTM more lol.
