    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?

    But giving your feedback on how you solved it might help many people in the future Thanks!

    @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.

    I'm not sure, I have not used cloud-init in centos. I'd imagine it's similar, you need to find the cloud-init config file in your centos template install, and edit it to prefer the nocloud datasource

    Restoring the whole VM is OK, because XO doesn't "look" inside the disk.

    Next thing I tried was Exporting the affected VM, delete it and import it again. This fails because after deleting the VM both VDIs / VHDs are still there. Also I can not delete them. The error says: [image: 1576141485072-f6ff6ad4-8a59-4424-9bb5-ff498f87989f-image.png]

    I'm not overly familiar with SAML, but our plugin is based on this: https://github.com/bergie/passport-saml Let us know if you find something relevant.

    So is there anyone who would be so kind to tell me whether it is worth it trying XOA instead of XOCE regarding workload balancing? Anyone who knows if there are differences?

    XO logs have repeating [load_balancer]Execute plans statement. Is this a problem?

    I think this is normal behavior when you have the Load Balancer plugin loaded. If you don't intend to use it, then unload it.

    Hi @akurzawa, this would be quite a big feature, please open an issue if you have something precise in mind (a list of possible actions, what could trigger a workflow, ideally some use cases that couldn't be done without it, etc.). Also, a lot can probably already be done with XO's Web Hooks, xo-cli and a third party workflow tool in between.

    XoError: no such host & Firefox crashing at Logs

    Tested with Chrome now, on chrome it works. So it seems only a firefox problem. I switched off the extensions ( https everywhere, ublock origin and privacy badger ) but still crashes. Had htop running on my client while crashing, no unusual increase in RAM usage while going to crash. Rebooted XO VM, now it is ok again with firefox. so for me the issue is closed, if somebody is bored and wants to look into some logs for bug hunting i am glad to provide them. i also restarted the toolstack on one of the pool members ( not master ) and the "no such host" error is gone.

    @sborrill I have a work-in-progress branch with a plugin for this: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/4701 To test, you will need to checkout this branch, add a symlink to the packages/xo-server-auth-http plugin into the directory xo-server/node_modules and then to configure and unable the plugin from XO. This will make basic authentication available with the path /signin/basic, note that you can make it the default authentication by overriding authentication.defaultSignInPage in your configuration file. julien-f opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra open WiP: feat(xo-server): support HTTP basic auth #4701

    Will do. I've got an installation of it in two locations and neither are behind a proxy. In a moment of early-onset senility/dementia I confused npm with dnf - somehow! So there's obviously a chance I'm doing something incorrectly.

    This is not related to the original, feel free to create a new one regarding this issue. You can't "manually" move a VM, there's always a client to do that (XO, xe, XCP-ng Center etc.). So you need to understand why it's failing first.
