    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.

    Okay so you are right: we did not test this scenario, so that's why the error is cryptic. I'm adding @Enishowk in the loop so he can put that in our backlog

    If I'm being honest here I don't really find the messages as annoying as you are making them out to be. Sure if I had a choice I would want them gone, but it's really not a big deal, 1-2 clicks and they are gone until the next time I login. I also kinda like the reminder on the sidebar about no support, helps me remember that A. I'm in my lab environment and B. I'm using a from the sources version so I need to manually do updates etc.....

    OK I got it. I didn't think that the host was using apparmor, but it actually does. So it must be started using --cap-add sys_admin --security-opt apparmor:unconfined Now it works.

    Ok. You threw me a curve ball when you mentioned the "[XO Backup blah blah]" stuff. I think you are referring to the snapshots. If so, then yes they get transferred over when you migrate the VMs.

    @Darkbeldin Mh, in the SMlog it is ls /tmp/nfs -1 --color=never. Thats the number one but should that be the letter l? With the number one, lsreturns. [17:31 h01 ~]# ls /tmp/nfs -1 --color=never test textfile

    Assuming I have the setting in the correct place, I'm not seeing any significant difference whether the setting is there or not. without setting Duration: 10 minutes Size: 41.71 GiB Speed: 72.5 MiB/s with setting Duration: 10 minutes Size: 41.71 GiB Speed: 72.87 MiB/s CPU usage appears to be about the same.

    @abelaguilar indeed you do not have to fill out the dns and gateway fields - in fact as you surmised you shouldn't. Where you getting an error or something when leaving them blank? The only mandatory fields are IP and netmask.

    So it looks like the warm migration of the first VM I tried migrating works, but after trying to migrate another VM, I'm getting a new error message: "Warm migration: task has already ended" Is there any particular process that I'm missing to mark the first VM as successfully migrated? **edit: Maybe I'm just impatient because after waiting another couple of minutes it looks like it's migrating OK.. LOL

    You can try to "attach" broken VIF to some network and then delete it. Try to use this command xe vif-move If that doesn't work, you can shut down the XO VM, detach the disk, deploy a new VM without a disk, attach the XO disk to the new VM.
