    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 I will take a look in deep later, but the key/delta and disk usage is set during backup, even if they are merged during LTR retention

    @probain Your role seems to neither install or pin node js itself so it does not fully follow the official steps from Xen Orchestra docs. Xen Orchestra docs state to use LTS node js - installing it is something that the the ronivay XO script does. Due to this part missing in your role it can not be executed on a freshly provisioned VM, something that is not really best practice. A role that was made for the purpose of deploying a software should also install / manage it's dependencies. Other than that, thanks for sharing your role. Every contribution towards this community is great IMO.

    @geoffbland No problem. It's the first time I see this error with tapdisk (and it's it's even more surprising to have it on this type of SR...). It had all been working fine and I had not changed anything on the share - it just stopped working In this case, maybe there was a problem with the XAPI, a lock on the device or something else. Not easy to find the cause without remote access. Don't hesitate to ping us if this problem comes back.

    Migrating large disk - any risks?

    It's more a less that. In short, the new disk is created on both sides, and blocks mirrored on both sides. First, the read only "parent" VDI with frozen blocks is copied, when it's done, the VM is briefly paused, the memory migrated to the destination and then unpaused on destination. Consequently, only the blocks written during 11 hours will use space for new blocks on the source SR (and destination, since it's mirrored).

    @sbz71 The stable channel should not have the issue, not sure when we'll release a fix for latest. If you have an XO subscription, you can open a support ticket and a support tunnel and we'll be able to patch your install My bad, I misunderstood the question

    @creoleMalady This does not help you, but my setup works with MinIO S3 (current version minio_20220607003341.0.0_amd64.deb) and current XO commit a5e9f. I'm running XO commit 379e4 (June 2nd) and it has been working correctly with Wasabi. I updated XO to commit a5e9f (current master) on a second server and backup still works for me to MinIO.... Delta Backup as a full and as a delta with and without merge.

    Try to disable/enable autostart in Advanced section of your VM. That might do the trick.

    Hello @geoffbland Thanks for the feedback To be fair, we added that precisely because our community/users asked for it! I wouldn't have thought of this by myself. That's the power of community, and for that, I thank you all!

    @Andrew thank you , it's NFS mount yes. i perform forget and remount and now is ok, most probably i chose older storage from another host, the menu to select storage for VM showing everything associated with the pool and sometimes this is confusing. Thanks for your comment.

    That's because doing a snapshot will have consequences on the SR. That's why we restricted the permissions for doing snapshot.
