    We do warn about the certificate situation in the 8.3 release notes, indeed, but it's easy to get caught by that. There's a way to temporarily disable LTS verification on the new hosts in order to join it to the existing pool. See https://docs.xcp-ng.org/releases/release-8-3/#certificate-verification-xs which in turns points to https://docs.xenserver.com/en-us/xenserver/8/hosts-pools/certificate-verification where you'll find that command. Regarding your initial situation, I'm not 100% sure, but I think Warm Migration, might be a way to migrate your VMs off your slave hosts while minimizing downtime. I don't know how it plays with CBT and heterogenous pool state exactly though.

    Feel free to create a trial on an XOA, test stable and latest and tell us. It might be also related to your environment, but if it works at some commit and not later, it's weird. @florent & @bastien-nollet maybe?

    @cichy said in DevOps Megathread: what you need and how we can help!: Prioritization of VM startup AND shutdown sequencing! PLEASE - in the GUI (XO). So - without code - I can finally shutdown my servers accessing DB's prior to shutting down the DB server vm's themselves thereby saving myself from table corruption. @cichy In the past it was recommended to do this with an vApp and script. However this means editing the script or configuration file (if one’s created for the script). Which doesn’t make it as easy as the method, used by VMware ESXi for configuring the order and enabling the capacity. Xen Orchestra and/or XCP-ng could really do with an UI (and API) based method of setting up and managing the VM boot and shutdown order.

    It could, I don't know what XCP-ng Center can do in details. But again, this is NOT a problem. I said it 3 times, why do you think it's still related to your coalesce problems?

    It's the default parameter of your template. XCP-ng Center is probably forcing fixed memory, XO is just doing template recommendation. You can change values at creation in "Advanced" section.

    Building Xen Orchestra from Source: FreeBSD xo-web:build _ Error: null

    @Danp As soon as I read that, I thought "I think I've been down this road before." Sure enough. I gave it 2G of RAM and it wouldn't build. I gave it 4G of RAM and I watched using systat and that final step went to about 52% of RAM usage. It has completed. I routinely run Xen Orchestra on a 1G VM because it's rarely used and it runs fine that way. But building it clearly takes a lot more RAM. I'll update my internal notes. It might be worth it to update the building from source docs to mention having enough RAM. Thanks for hitting the nail on the head with that advice!

    XOA got its own numbering, unrelated to xo-server or xo-web: it'a all a matter of a coherent "whole", including dependencies etc. Thing we can't provide when built on sources. Please test and report You can switch to latest too, doesn't matter.

    @karlisi said in Interrupted CR task - what now?: Automatically deleting incomplete VMs can be dangerous This is an example - don't take it too strictly. I'm talking about exaclty the above problem. I was not aware of it. No information about the problem and this is the exactly the real problem.

    @olivierlambert said in Stuck at copying Continuous Replicated VM: In order to CR to continue after "booting it", you must use a copy. In case of you lost your origin VM, then it doesn't matter if you boot the replicated VM directly. I don't know why full clone doesn't work on this SR. I give up for now I have no idea why it did not work. No error messages on the logs also. It just stuck. anyways thank you @olivierlambert for your time. I created a new VM and attach the copied VDI 1 to it. The second VDI cannot be attached so I delete it and will copy from the source server. Looks like it is working. I have one more VM to process and this time I will double check the steps and share any progress here.

    @S-Pam said Isn't any SQL server crash safe? I.e. they should handle a system power-loss and gracefully recover (journals). A filesystem snapshot is equivalent of a power loss. You need to configure your databases accordingly. Most of maria/mysql have enabled innodb doublewrite enabled by default: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-doublewrite-buffer.html But just in case of Active Directory... I really really want to have consistent snapshot/backups

    Yes. That would be a way of doing so. If you can afford the downtime, you could also use a backup solution (XOA, Alike DR, etc.) to backup the VMs from both hosts, build the pool from scratch using both hosts in a clean state, and then restore back into the new pool (this way gives you a chance to not only start fresh; but, implement any big "lessons learned" or "new ideas" you've got on your list).
