    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.

    @jasonnix Update to nodejs 22.x. It should be good for a while. Nodejs 24 will be out soon but not required yet.

    we are reworking the import code , along the new backup code ( https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/10664/our-future-backup-code-test-it ) to unify the differetn disk transformation path For now: V2V handles flat, cowd, sesparse, stream optimized vmdk in the format "metadata.vmdk and a data file ) and ova ( for VSAN) disk import support monolithic vmdk ( cowd, sesparse, streamoptimized ) ova improt support only stream ova with streamoptimzed vmdk inside

    @AtaxyaNetwork said in XO update fails: @edisoninfo Hi, What's xo-install.sh ? It's a third party script ? Very likely indeed Those scripts really needs to make sure to provide the URL of the repo to report issues in a very visible way.

    @Danp No sir, I have not. I have, however, exported the same VM in the OVA format. Ended up being about 47 GiB, however, I was able to import it into XOA without any issues, and the import took just under 10 minutes to complete.

    @dinhngtu said in Windows VMGuest changing network cause the guest to crash: This is a driver bug that we fixed in XCP-ng Windows tools v9.0.9030 but hasn't been integrated by Citrix yet. You can try it out if you're not running a production system. Gosh, we are now officially faster than Citrix to detect and fix bugs even in the Windows PV driver

    Note: just do a yarn && yarn build and it will work. The XO 6 build might be broken, but that's not surprising, it could happens.

    @flakpyro yes, indeed that exactly what I was talking about. The XO6 new interface will provide more information, but I am noting the missing type of bound to discuss it with XO team for next feature.

    @yzgulec said in How to deploy XO on ESXi: I just used VMware Converter for V2V (seems more practical for me) Installing from Source or using an installation script from the community is also very straight-forwards. Maybe 10 minutes worth of setup for the OS and then for at least my github it's a single line installation.

    @splastunov I realize this thread is old, but I think there is important info to keep connected to this thread for future readers. The IP locking trick doesn't seem to prevent all traffic -- it only prevents traffic that has an IP that isn't 255.255.255.255 (and possibly others as well). That is, I can still successfully acquire a DHCP IP even when the IP locking mechanism is engaged. I think this is important for others to know since it doesn't fully isolate VMs like the OP wanted. UPDATE: Setting the locking mode to "disabled" is what you want -- not "locked". Disabled will drop all traffic; locked simply checks if the set of IPs in the VM is permitted.

    @irtaza9 Sometimes when I have been tinkering with a host, I get a red triangle. Then just pressing Enabled and then Disabled can get rid of the triangle and the host back in business again.
