    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.

    @olivierlambert I do not understand wha t you mean by "You probably need to transform the disk in a "regular" and not snapshot". Not sure on how to do that, please provide the steps or if you have SOP ready, please point me to the SOP document.

    I don't see any obvious settting, and XCP-ng won't interfere with a guest OS installation, so the root cause for this missing GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true must be somewhere in the installation process, triggered by I-don't-know-what when being installed in an XCP-ng guest.

    @magicker If you are able to deploy an official XOA and reproduce the problem in it, I'll be able to investigate once you open a support tunnel: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/xoa.html#support-tunnel

    Hi, The best practice is just to connect XOA to the master. You are thinking as if this situation will happen on regular basis, but it won't, and if it does you have a bigger problem than an XOA disconnection. If you have a backup job with email reporting, you'll be notified if XOA lost connection to the pool. There's nothing specific to do.

    Yes, you need to get them flat in the folder, it doesn't crawl subfolders.

    Very likely indeed. We hope to recreate the XO website from scratch at some point, but it doesn't mean we'll let this slip Thanks a lot for the report, adding @Marc-pezin in the loop

    You can with the JSON-RPC API. The REST API is still very young, and we only started to modify objects during January release.

    @Gheppy @julien-f I have the same problem.... post 6940 Check Dashboard->Health and look at the bottom to see if the Importing VMs are still there. So far, no solution, other than to rollback to a working version.

    @cjackson The reason the login is just username, is because you've specified sAMAccountName. If you want to use email address, change this to UserPrincipleName. Obviously, verify the UPN in your AD box, but that should be the persons email address if your domain it setup correctly. I dont believe most LDAP query tools support nested group security (its a common issue). Not an excuse, just an observation btw.
