    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.

    See for XOA pricing: https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/featuresmatrix If you want to use Xen Orchestra for your home lab, then go for the version from the sources: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/installation.html#from-the-sources You'll have all the XO features but no pro support (which is OK for home lab)

    @Aimdev eh man people use a lot of different browsers and don't always remember all the options, the dev's here are top 5 star really. I did it because I do use Safari and simply replicated the steps and noticed the pop-up warning (I never allow pop-ups by default) so I figured that could be the issue. Have a great weekend you too and you're welcome!

    @ITJamie Alma Linux 8.5 template is finished and should be added to the hub in the next day or two. I should have Rocky Linux done shortly after that. Note that in CentOS/RHEL related distros, the hostname: {name}% parameter that's filled in under the cloud-init config is not enough to change the hostname for the machine, CentOS (and related) expects a fully qualified domain name. To get the newly spawned VM have the hostname you'd like, supply fqdn parameter as well: use VM name as hostname: #cloud-config hostname: {name}% fqdn: {name}%.localdomain.local use custom hostname: #cloud-config hostname: testvm fqdn: testvm.localdomain.local

    Windows VM cannot boot, cannot insert ISO

    @mauzilla To boot an ISO in a VM, you need to select "DVD" in the boot order, put it first, and hit "Save". Then boot the VM. For ANY system (real or VM), you need boot it with the same type of bootstrap as it was installed to use. BIOS or UEFI. If you change the boot type then you have to make the OS ready to use the new/different settings (not just a VM problem). If you created a Windows image from a working system that booted with UEFI then you have to copy ALL partitions (the whole disk), not just the C windows drive.

    Hi, first of all, thank you for developing and supporting these awesome products. I witnessed a similar issue upon running continuous replication on a VM after growing one of the disks on the source side. I run delta backup to a NFS share and continuous replication to another XCP-ng host in one job. The most important part of the relevant log messages remind me of this issue - this topic is the only similar reference I was able to find, so I hope this is the right place to post. If not, please let me know, and I'll create a new topic Mar 21 01:00:29 xcp-ng-2 xapi: [ info||8947241 INET :::80|Importing raw VDI R:3967654dad6b|vhd_tool_wrapper] Executing /bin/vhd-tool serve --source-format vhd --source-protocol none --source-fd 1f47b1fe-a9ea-4bda-ab8e-2101e5677059 --tar-filename-prefix --destination file:///dev/sm/backend/f7aca870-12e0-8352-9f86-f52d575eb313/6cd16448-6839-476d-93b1-2f8b816c827f --destination-format raw --progress --machine --direct --destination-size 0 --prezeroed Mar 21 01:00:29 xcp-ng-2 xapi: [error||8947241 INET :::80|Importing raw VDI R:3967654dad6b|vhd_tool_wrapper] vhd-tool failed, returning VDI_IO_ERROR Mar 21 01:00:29 xcp-ng-2 xapi: [error||8947241 INET :::80|Importing raw VDI R:3967654dad6b|vhd_tool_wrapper] vhd-tool output: vhd-tool: Non-zero size required (either a pre-existing destination file or specified via --destination-size on the command line)\x0A I'm currently running Xen Orchestra compiled from sources, on commit 5bc44363f9ac9fa534f3247e697f1b3c6991e916. XCP-ng is on version 8.2.0. I know that this is not fully up-to-date, but after retrying that backup as a first measure, Xen Orchestra ran a full backup for that VM, so I can't reproduce that issue anymore, but I figured posting that here might help resolving the aforementioned issue, if the causes correlate.

    FYI, we modified the deploy script to be able to automatically modify XOA's VIF to run on the management network. So even in case of using only bonded networks like @Low351, this will now work.

    @davidg said in Dashboard Health gives 'an error has occurred': 5.58.1 That's ancient, so not a valid comparison. It's likely that a recent commit has broken something that they will eventually identify / fix.
