    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.

    @Danp said in "NOT_SUPPORTED_DURING_UPGRADE()" error after yesterday's update: s/rebooting/rebooted Apologies for the miswording on my end. Please be careful of tenses (past tense etc), as it will change the meaning of the question and thus the answer. As rebooted can be understood as it has already completed rebooting the host, following the update reboot request.

    @hannes Full backup interval (and Force full backup in the schedule settings) forces the job to do a full export of the disk and not a delta based on a previous one. It is not impacted by the retention as XO will always makes sure every chain has at least a full export at the beginning so that all backups are viable. Which means you will have multiple full backups, always one at the beginning, and, those that have been triggered by the settings above.

    @mauzilla I personally think having the CR job operate between 2 different pools is a better idea. I am curious though, are these servers located in the same physical location? If so why not try going with high availability instead of a CR job? https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xenserver-and-vm-high-availability/ I haven't really done HA setups with XCP-ng before, so can't really speak to how good it is. But IMO CR and other backup jobs like that are more meant for geo replication and stuff like that (i.e. a disaster recovery scenario with some offsite XCP-ng host). Which is why I'm asking about location, personally don't see the benefit to CR if in the same physical location, I'd be more interested in HA at that point. This is just my two cents though.

    In general, it's easier to start on XOA (you can have a free trial with all features) to discover the ecosystem. Because XOA is more tested and also comes with an updater AND a way to give us access remotely to investigate a problem. So please deploy an XOA and report if it's better On which commit are you right now? Are you on the right version of node? (that's the questions you wouldn't have to answer if you were on XOA for example )

    Hi, This is an error regarding your certificates, which are self-signed. I'm afraid it's not related to XO itself. I suppose you can only use self signed certs in your context?

    @olivierlambert to not create new topic, small continue here. timeout option still ignored. probably because of network problems i got backup error and job hangs every day. doesn't matter why it happens, but job will never get terminated by timeout. 21h job with 7h timeout. https://pastebin.com/U5HgKEzM just 1 Gb.

    @cookie-eater2000 make sure your Xen Orchestra also has a connection on the 10GB network (IP address on the xo vm)
