    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.

    @Pilow would it be possible to test from source, or with latest ( note that v6 will be default on latest ) ? it would be useful to have the real error message instead of the itnermediate value

    @julien-f The new update seems to be working correctly now. Thanks for the quick update fix. The backup cache fixes/cleanup made a huge difference (improvement). I was trying to figure out what was going on with my backups as they were running but were missing from the restore list. After the cache cleanup, it showed 3-4 times the number of restore points! All the missing stuff and more. It took some time to clean up all the extra stuff, but backups seem to be back on track again.

    @anturk What errors do you see in /var/log./SMlog related to this? Have you run ifconfig or netstat to look for network transmission errors? Is this a new setup and if so, are you sure the cables are of good quality? Is this a dedicated NIC or is it part of a VLAN?

    @olivierlambert I blew away the docker container and did a fresh build of XO from source on a *buntu box. Issue resolved itself with that. Must be a bad build in the docker.

    You can't login to our servers with your source version (from Git), you must download the virtual appliance. If you can't access https://xen-orchestra.com internally, then, indeed, you won't be able to register it in the end. But if you managed to clone it from Github, you have some access to outside

    @KPS You can use xo-cli --list-objects type=VM. Also you should only get the backup logs once and join with the VM list, because backupNg.getLogs is heavy.

    @olivierlambert Yep, thanks. OP edited to direct link to XOA NTP documentation for those who need that. There was no clear distinction in my mind. Apologies for any confusion caused.

    @Danp My fault, I just did register here. When I click on register on my XOA, I was pointed to the forum, so I thought it is the same account. Thank you, that solved my problem.

    @SpoonyLove @olivierlambert For usb passthrough we are using USB redirector over network For anything storage related we use something like this: mkdir /adm/passSR passUUID=`xe sr-create name-label="Direct access SR" name-description="Direct acces to hdd with simlink" type=udev content-type=disk device-config:location=/adm/passSR` ln -s /dev/sdb /adm/passSR/sdb xe sr-scan uuid=$passUUID xe vdi-list sr-uuid=$passUUID Remember to replace /dev/sdb with your device.

    Participating on the forum is a totally acceptable form of contribution. And to be clear: you have the choice. The choice to do nothing, or to help the project to grow. It's really up to you Freedom of choice is great! Everyone can contribute, spread the word and advocate for our solutions. And believe me, if everybody does, we stand a chance against those juggernauts (VMware for example). Also, you have my words, and I'm not afraid to tell that publicly: every $ we make is 100% re-invested into our projects. No big VC nor investors asking for insane ROI.

    @sgroel Curious. Are all the NICs the same on the existing pool hosts as well as the new host you add? Do all hosts have the same hotfix levels and the same overall hardware architecture? Seems odd as I ran servers this way for years. Maybe also look at the network switches to make sure they are all configured correctly. Finally, any clues in the /var/log files?

    Full Backup Successful But In Kilobytes

    @Darkbeldin I checked the xensource.log on the server and found the error message "failed with exception Server_error(INVALID_DEVICE, [ autodetect ])" during export, similar to the post here: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/4319/invalid_device-autodetect-during-backup I checked the XO dashboard health and found 256 "Pool Metadata Backup" VDIs attached to Control Domain. Not sure how or why the "Pool Metadata Backup" got stuck attached to Control Domain but I guess it has reached the 256 limit. I "Forget" all of them and full backup seems to be working now. For the record, it wasn't anything to do with snapshots. The VM was OFF so I guess it doesn't need to take a snapshot before transfer hence the log doesn't mention snapshot.
