    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.

    There was a recent commit on Github dealing with NFS mounts. Suggest that you rebuild with the latest source and then try setting up the NFS storage again.

    @fluffy-bunny Use this to get your VBDs from each VM xe vm-param-get param-name=VBDs uuid=<vm-uuid> Then to get the name of each VDI file use this xe vbd-param-get param-name=vdi-uuid uuid=<vbd-uuid> But as olivier said, it is much easier to just use XO's disk view of the VM you want, then use the "copy" button to copy its VDI name.

    If migration failed, there's a reason. It's usually stable. Obviously, because your hosts weren't in the pool, a different CPU model can be the problem (they are automatically adapted if they are in the same pool).

    Hi, Remotes and SRs aren't managed the same way by XO. XO is connected directly to the remotes to do some read/write operations, unlike SRs which is connected to them via XCP-ng. So the SRs aren't directly managed by XO, but are managed using the XCP-ngs' XAPI and we are limited to what the XAPI provides as information.

    Hi, FreeBSD install was already documented officially: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/installation.html#freebsd You could have test to use HTTP instead of HTTPS to see if perfs are improved New XO backup code will come in few releases that will speed up things Quiesce snapshot: it's not needed for Linux VMs because of the disk driver automatically handling this.
