    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.

    Backup fails - how to investigate

    @olivierlambert Without any change in the configuration, the backup now reports to be successful. Next step is to check whether the backups will restore correctly. The mystery still stands - what was wrong previously.

    This is the date get from XAPI. If it was migrated from another host, you have the first time it was visible for this XAPI.

    @olivierlambert I was not, and cert is invalid, but when I override I get the same result. I will fix the cert and try again.

    I thought I did that. Oh I see whats happening. My cold moves are freaking out. The first time, I restarted the toolstack for the server I was working on the # of tasks dropped by 50% or so. as soon as I tried my cold move of a VM again, im up to 50-60 tasks again. Going from Xen 7.1 to XCP 7.6. and a Xeon 2630 V3 to a 2620 V0. Which I know is a bad idea, hence the cold move.

    You have a transparent proxy, it does not hide its identity, so web resources see that the request is not coming directly from the user but from the proxy. In addition, the real IP address is also visible, so there is no anonymity. Usually, educational institutions use this type of server to filter incoming and outgoing content and cache information. It's better to use thailand proxy, which will encrypt you from the inside.

    Not sure yet if it has to do with me deleting one template to try... However, the duplicated templates have disappear after the update of XOA to 5.74.3! Maybe a restart of the service would have achieved the same!? At the end, it seems to come from XOA rather than the pool. I suggest to remove and add the master from the server settings to see if this does not clean up something in the cache/DB on XOA...

    @florent Yes, thanks! We have very limited control over rsync at our end (as it's running within a Synoloy NAS) - I think we probably have to just live with large transfers for now - whilst looking at spit files / VHD's as the way to go in the future. Thanks again!

    @olivierlambert Refreshing the status log and updating a second time retrieves/installs more updates. After that: The '+ New' menu button appears in the menu on the left side of the window! Thank you! Eric P. Reno, Nevada

    @tony ssh is not always an option especially for premade ISOs from vendors. DellOpenManage VM for instance was vmware only and ssh was not enabled.

    @AtaxyaNetwork Thanks for your guidance. I can create a lightweight Debian VM with an NFS share for the ISOs. But even so it is strange that the drive is not known by the XO. Maybe other people can comment on this later.

    @furyflash777 I'm assuming you're on Ubuntu? Indeed as Olivier said this is tested on Debian and doesn't cause issues, but it seems on the newer Ubuntu versions with cloud-init, the new Netplan based network manager and how it interacts with cloud-init breaks/gets wiped if no cloud-init drive is found. Yet another cloud-init bug to track down
