    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.

    Dear all, I needed to do a complete new installation of xcp-ng 8.3 LTS. I have backups of all VMs incl. the pool metadata. The latest daily backup was done on 09th of December and now, if upgrade the fresh installed xcp-ng to v35 release, the metadata backup can't be restored. Either by XenOrchestra or with "xe pool-restore-metadata" the restore is possible, always same error: "failed: restore incompatible version". Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    @gduperrey said in XCP-ng Tools Storage contains VDIs I’m unable to Destroy: It seems that it is possible to clean old isos manually, via the command line, as explained in this forum post: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/15703 Wau!!! That actually works like charm! Thank you sooooo much!

    That happens to me about once every six weeks on one of the XO installs. For what its worth, if I just kill the XO vm and let it reboot, as long as its not out of disk space, it always works the second time.

    @andrewperry yes, we replicate TrueNAS to a "standby" TrueNAS using zpool / truenas replication. Our current policy is hourly. We then (plan) to do Incremental replication of all VM's to a standby TrueNAS over weekends giving a 3 possible methods for recovery. Currently we're running into a major drawback with VM's on TrueNAS over NFS (specifically VM's that rely on fast storage such as databases and recordings). We did not anticipate such a huge drop in performance having VHD files over NFS. We're reaching out to XCP to ask them to give us some advice as it could likely be in part due to customization we can make.

    @wildones It's good that the XCP hosts can reach each other, but that's not enough. XOA needs to reach all the hosts too. You may want to use an XO proxy to manage remote locations. Please read the XO proxy guide.

    @BenjiReis I tried to fill in the IP address with brackets, but then the discovery of the NFS shares fails. With regular SRs, it works fine without using brackets.

    In fact it's already possible In your replication job: Edit the schedule, check "Health check" box. Target the same SR than your VM are replicated too And voila!

    @stormi So I looked into the code of the ISOSR and there is a parameter for the version in the device-config. The parameter is vers but it can only be V1 or V3. And if it can't connect with V3, it will also try with V1.

    Hello @Andrew, thanks for your question! First off, I haven't tested Deno or Node with Xen-Orchestra yet. Changing the Node version can sometimes introduce bugs—some of which may be subtle. For that reason, I’d prefer not to venture into this unless it truly proves to be worth the effort. Secondly, in my experience, benchmarks don’t always translate into meaningful results in complex applications. That said, we are keeping an eye on alternative engines, both in terms of performance and the new features they offer. If we determine that the benefits are significant, we’d definitely consider migrating. Additionally, if any users want to experiment with Deno or Bun, they’re welcome to start dedicated threads on the forum to collaborate. We’d be happy to review and merge compatibility PRs as long as they don’t break Node and aren’t overly complex.

    @Danp So I had a problem with ldap, I read older article that mentioned doing this sudo npm install --global xo-server-auth-ldap which coincidently fixed ldap but that is when I noticed sync option were gone. This is just a POC and has noting running, so I will destroy and build new xoa. Thanks for help.

    @tuxpowered said in Rolling Pool Update - host took too long to restart: When the first note reboots (the master), I can see that the system is back up in 5-8 min. If I go in to XO > Settings > Servers and click the Enable/Disable status button to reconnect it pops right up. Again, does not resume migrating the other nodes. That is what I am seeing also, logged here https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/9683/rolling-pool-update-incomplete

    The easiest way to guarantee it is to depend on a local resource (local SR or ISO).

    If you proxy (or reverse proxy) any stuff, yes, you need to have a fixed address for the proxy.
