    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.

    You should be able to go to the network tab for the VM, click the network it's currently connected to, and then change it to the new one. If you have the management tools installed this can be done live, otherwise you'd need to shut the VM down.

    @Danp the first backup after the fix will show the warning ( since it controls the data of the previous backup) the following backups should be ok

    This error can happen in different cases depending on whether you're working with JavaScript on the server-side with Node.js , or client-side in the browser. There are several reasons behind "Cannot use import statement outside a module" error, and the solution depends on how you call the module or script tag. Add type="module" inside the script tag When working with ECMAScript modules and JavaScript module import statements in the browser, you'll need to explicitly tell the browser that a script is module. To do this, you have to add type="module" onto any ‹script› tags that point to a JavaScript module. Once you do this you can import that module without issues. <script type="module" src="./index.js"></script> If you are working on Node.js or react applications and using import statements instead of require to load the modules, then ensure your package.json has a property "type": "module" as shown below. { // ... "type": "module", // ... }

    @olivierlambert I am imagining something like esxi / vsphere where I think it's their guest tool does a resize on window size change. I think I've done it with tightvnc where it can autoscale AND it can auto resize as well. Based on looking protocols like nx, spice, and tigervnc support it as well. Understood for the copy paste, is it possible to have another button in current UI next to the copy that is paste (understanding the current UI IS changing). All this button would do is send the keystrokes to the VM either from the text in the console copy field or from the clipboard (I've fine with ctrl+v, the clipboard to the multiline window).

    @BradyS Probably this is due to incompatible BIOS settings, such as C states, turbo mode, etc. Run "xe host-cpu-info" on each host to compare the two host settings. Also, make sure the firmware and update levels are all the same as those can also affect the CPU masks.

    Netbox Plugin: IP-address created always uses the "largest prefix" in Netbox

    @pdonias Yes, I was running a newer version than that but just to make sure I upgraded to 8068b83ffe58e6caed0cac5816ac2690479a9c41. Still the same problem, unfortunately. I'm not too sure if it matters, but there are VMs running in the pool that does not have an IP in a "smaller" /24 prefix. So if the prefixes 192.168.0.0/16 and 192.168.100.0/24 are in Netbox, there might be VMs using IPs other than the ones in the 192.168.100.0/24 prefix.

    Sadly, it's hard to know what happened without getting the errors you had (eg when you tell: "VM will not start" is very vague).
