    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.

    @bullerwins It's a wonderful feature, you can have customized filters for VM, storage, Templates, and Pools. Combine that with using lots of tags and it makes larger deployments very manageable.

    Cloud configs allow {{name}}% substitutions. From my perspective (as a user), for how {{name}} is used in my cloud configs something like {{address}} would be identical. What is the intended use case for the IPAM functionality in XOA if it can't be used like this? Real question, not trolling

    Also note the text at the top of your screenshot: to continue you need to select a boot device. There might be a way in that menu (or partition creation submenu) to mark that created partition as bootable, or maybe you just need to highlight/select the partition under "used devices" before hitting "done"

    I would like some examples too.

    @encryptblockr hope to try the same with their even smaller "CORE" images. There is not an .OVA download but .xz downloads that when expanded have .img . https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/22/stable/current/ubuntu-core-22-amd64.img.xz and https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/22/stable/current/ubuntu-core-22-amd64+intel-iot.img.xz cloud-init seems to require experimentation and these small images boot quickly for me. Are you then following Fohdeesha's instructions?
