    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.

    @olivierlambert No problem, to be honest I'd forgotten that the script I was using was not the official script...

    Stupid question - do you typically host Xen Orchestra ON your XCP-ng host, or elsewhere?

    I am using a Thinclient for my XCP Servers. Real small and cheap (if it is used) HP T620 with a 64G M2 SSD and 4 GRam Quadcore AMD CPU. To backup some VM i use a external USB3 HDD. It is running very nice and smoth. Power is between 5Watt an 20Watt excluding the USB Harddrive. My coutumer had mostly two Servers and a Thin client. my own Thinclient is used as a server for FHEM Homeautmatisation

    Metadata Backup to Backblaze S3 compatible will not work

    Having the same issue here with metadata backups, tried Backblaze bucket and Amazon. Also the vm backups to S3 are failing usually with VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors) or "Error calling AWS.S3.upload: socket hang up" (but working to NAS). Is there somebody who made backups to S3 to work somehow?

    Again thanks everyone. you can mark this as solved. The step I was missing was the config step. $ cd packages/xo-server $ mkdir -p ~/.config/xo-server $ cp sample.config.toml ~/.config/xo-server/config.toml

    @duxepu Ok, this is weird, I'm not able to reproduce that and I don't see how it's possible. Could you check a few things? from an admin point of view, at the bottom of the VM's advanced tab, please check that the user has Admin ACLs on the VM from the user's point of view, when you're on the snapshots tab, open the browser console (press F12 > Console tab) and check if there are any errors do you have this issue with all the users of all your Self Service groups or is it more specific? Thanks!

    Yesterday I updated to the latest sources and my backup ran successfully, so it appears that this issue is resolved. @carlosfrederico You'll need to switch back to the master branch before your normal update routine will work.

    @olivierlambert FYI turned out to be a networking issue that had nothing to do with the server itself. I'm still getting to the bottom of what exactly the cause was, and will update here once I do just in case someone else runs into this. Thanks again. And thanks for the awesome software. ! -Rob

    No, there's no need to upgrade VM tools when you upgrade the host. You can keep old tools, it will work fine.

    @dan2462 Did you get a resolution to your VDI issue? I have a similar problem as it seems hosts are locking up the VDI's on my shared iscsi storage and if they are shutdown and I try to boot them on an alternate host, I get the VDI not available error.

    Hi @xo-g , We don't use any specific order to pick the VMs to backup.
