    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.

    @d1rtym0nk3y Thanks for the feedback! This is actually something that we had in mind. It will probably have to wait for the next major version of XO, though.

    @dreday said in Cannot see virtual Machine consoles...: @FPIT I would say to further troubleshoot the limited connectivity issues first... A few things that jump to mind right away Does the host have a network gateway address set for the management interface? Are there any firewalls or switch port ACLs blocking traffic? This one is the least likely culprit 3) Is you host management configured to use DHCP?(based on the blank console, though it would not explain the connectivity issues unless DHCP is not providing all necessary information for the network) Option number 3 worked for me. I had initially configured my management console (with public IP) to use DHCP and the other port (with local IP) to use static. When I did reset all connections to use DHCP the consoles came up. Thank you thank you thank you! @DreDay and of course thanks @FPIT for raising the issue. #one

    @olivierlambert Thank you again for the answer! I was not using the right search criteria to find this part myself Changed the 'config.toml' file after searching my system (not an XOA but XO CE, so it was in another location then mentioned in the documentation) Restarted and just as expected the GUI was only available on the specified IP

    We are focusing first on getting something correctly integrated from XOA, it doesn't mean it will be exclusive to XOA. It's just we are first focusing on a completely "known" environment (XOA), but I think at some point we'll be able to provide manual setup for people who want to do it from the sources

    @julien-f Backup files check found no problems, so I tried to restore again and it works. No changes or updates in XO, no changes on vhd or json files (same dates and sizes). Only think I did was detach and attach backup repository (settings - remotes) which I tried before with no luck.

    In theory, static min is bundled in the template and you shouldn't use less than that. If you still want to do it, consider it as "advanced", and do it with xe

    @ruskofd is right. You should be able to use the cloud_network_config attribute to achieve this. The following code is untested but should launch a vm with a static IP. Please see the xenorchestra_vm resource docs and the cloud-init networking v1 docs for more details. resource "xenorchestra_vm" "static_ip_vm" { .... cloud_network_config = <<EOF network: version: 1 config: - type: physical name: eth0 subnets: - type: static address: STATIC_IP/24 gateway: GATEWAY_IP dns_nameservers: - 8.8.8.8 EOF } Let me know if you have any questions or issues using cloud_network_config, As for the blog post, the VM would have been assigned an ip address via dhcp (assuming the guest OS had cloud-init installed which was true for the VM template in the blog post).

    @jedimarcus said in Clarification on an Advanced setting: @eangulus With MaxCPU you can do the increase WITHOUT shutting down... I'll complete this with an example: create a VM with 4 vCPUs and Max vCPU = 8. you can now change the number of vCPUs from anything between 1 and 8 without shutting the VM down
