    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.

    @eeldivad i turned on "override-certs" option and it seems to work now. I'm still curious why the other build fails. Does anyone know how i can generate those 3 pem files manually to test?

    This is solved. What I ended up doing was installing ubuntu and doing the whole install as root. Thanks for the help, I hope I can use XOA in the future!

    @olivierlambert said in XOCE - Language not keep when i come back (surrely dumb question): Why? I mean you are the first person to ask this. It's more work to do that and I'm not sure to really see the value A cookie is the perfect simple way to store info that are from your same browser/session, so it's very logical. Yeah, I don't see the value in having to keep a user preference within XO itself either.. just don't clear your cookies. It's what they are meant for.

    @payback007 said in vm start delay - does it work yet?: unfortunately "start delay" is not working as expected. The function what you marked above is to change the start delay of an existing "vApp". Here is an example of my setup: [image: 1558128450595-04e7439d-6b92-4356-aa23-14d704588be3-grafik.png] The value whould change the "Delay interval" later by XOA, nothing else. Otherwise is vApp feature also not working on my XCP-ng installation, I think it was never really tested. If you want to implement start delays to your VM's you can follow this guide: define vApp for autostart in xcp-ng center including start order find out the uuid of the vApp: xe appliance-list write autostart script containing #!/bin/sh xe appliance-start uuid=uuid-autostart-vApp implement new systemd.service in /etc/systemd/system/autostart.service [Unit] Description=autostart script for boot VM After=graphical.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/path/to/your/autostart-script.sh TimeoutStartSec=0 [Install] WantedBy=default.target enable the service systemctl enable autostart.service Editing of boot delay time is then possible via XOA which is already a nice feature at all for "fine tuning" or adapt if new VMs are added to the autostart vApp. @olivierlambert whould it make sense to open an additional feature request? vApp-implementation was several times discussed with no "final statement" I think. When I have a pool without HA, how could I use this script? I thought about setting the script on the master server. However, in a maintenance, where a second node becomes the master, will I have to recreate the script?

    @merango said in XOA Install Issues: @merango Hi DustineB, Thanks for the help, after looking at the BIO, I have a question around the management server. I have a spare windows 11 Pro PC that is running a Hyper-V Ubuntu 24.04.1 bare install. Can I follow your guide to install this as the MGMT server for my XCP-NG host on the same LAN? I'd prefer to manage it on a separate PC if possible and that would work nicely if that is possible? Of course you can, anywhere you can install Debian or Ubuntu can you install XO. Be it physical or virtual.

    For information : The downgrade change nothing. The only solution was to reinstall xcp with the upgrade option (even if it was up to date before the bios update) If we go back to the original problem, the latest version of the Bios changes nothing (there is no information about the BIOS on the Host page)

    @Danp it turns out I had a typo that took me forever to find . . . 102 vs 192 in the gateway ip. The strange thing to me was that the internal networking was working (pings, connections, etc). But there's something in the xoa web site that could not make the connection to the server it was running on, which makes me think there is some kind of external communication going on for server connections. If xoa can ping the dom0 then why would it need the gateway to connect to it for the web interface? Anyway I fixed the typo after finding the error running ip monitor, and then everything works great. This was the 3rd or 4th install of xoa so I was getting a bit hurried . . . next morning it took 2 minutes to find the error. Now its registered and working.
