    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.

    @Flying9167 It's indeed not possible at this to filter which users are allowed to sign in with XO auth plugins. At this time it should be handled at the authentication provider itself and it does not look like GitHub OAuth implementation supports it.

    @olivierlambert its custom config, not any bug. Ill point it out what i mean below. I have standard ubuntu template -> I would like my vm to be already customize, when its created, because its faster and easier when everything is in one place -> So for that i have created cloud-init for eg.-> #cloud-config hostname: <hostname> package_update: true package_upgrade: true write_files: - path: /etc/ssl/certs/mydomain.crt content: | <certificate data> - path: /etc/ssl/private/mydomain.key content: | <private key data> runcmd: - apt-get update - DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get upgrade -y So my main problem is that this, particular cloud-init has fixed <certificate data> and <private key data>, that i would like to not be passed as a plain text, because it is a secret. To me its not done (for now) with best practices, but its very comfortable. So finally, i am wondering what is the best solution, for not putting secrets as a plain text, but rather keep them as a secret. I could create templates and later delete cloud-config with those data, but it would be more flexible, if there would be any chance to connect it to Hashicorp Vault or something that will dynamically fetch secrets.

    FWIW I just got bit by this same thing, spending half a day yesterday kicking the wall. I think I got about 2/3 of the way just by trial and error on the cert's. Would love to see this doc'd with the proper method, using an in-house local CA (not a public CA).

    @olivierlambert Oh, this makes more sense now. I somehow mixed up the appliance with the actual XO platform. Will go through the docs. Thanks!

    I can only assume that the nested mechanism is blocking the network at some stage, but I don't have time myself to investigate deeper.

    I am using USB-servers from SEH and Silex. Both of them are working. Silex can provide higher Performance - SEH is IMHO nicer for license-dongels, etc.

    @KPS Hi, I don't think it's possible but I could be wrong perhaps an advance filter could do that.
