    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

    I think yes (I don't see why, if it's recent enough), but you won't have support in any case (as you'll use the version from the sources anyway).

    @tristis-oris i don’t have a definitive answer what would be the perfect memory configuration for your needs. I commented based on your earlier findings that VM memory usage was high which doesn’t take into account what OS inside VM is doing with the memory. As you observed, most of the memory is used by cache so it basically has nothing to do with XO, just how Linux manages the usable memory.

    @markhewitt1978 We want to involve the users community very early in the design of XO6 and have begun designing an initial questionnaire to submit to you to identify your expectations and current issues - We will later set up a tester program to continue to exchange throughout the process with users who are interested. It's a bit early to share more details, but stay tuned on the December release for XO, we have things in the pipe.

    I agree but when it's not the truth "behind", I find it even more confusing.

    I've added the support of advanced filtering in the API, it does no have first class support in xo-cli yet but it's usable anyway: xo-cli xo.getAllObjects limit=json:10 filter='type:/^VM$/ snapshots:length:>2'

    @julien-f said in Force full backup vs Full backup interval: @s-pam Essentially the same feature, they force the export of a full backup. Full backup interval forces a full after a number of delta exports. Force full backup forces a full when this specific schedule is ran, which allows for instance to do delta during the week and a full on Sunday. Ah, of course. So I can add a second schedule to the backup job, and in that I choose force full. nice. I did try to search in the https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/backups.html docs for it before asking.

    @adzmedia Hi adzmedia, I can give my nails cut for the fact that this is due to the overall slowness between the xcp-ng and XOA. I've been having similar issue and was pulling my hair, in a usecase where my xcpng was on the other side of the VPN wire, and the virtual console of the VM, could not be drawn on time to allow me hitting any key to run the content within the mounted iso. (in my scenario I I've been using xcp-ng centre) this issue become the relict of the past, when I did the same thing within my network (still over the vpn but utilizing a RDP of the machine within the LAN network). maybe apache quacamole will do the trick for you, to expose some way of reching it out. think about it. ps. I've been having this with BIOS / UEFI, at first place I thouht this is an uefi, but it was not.

    I opened that ticket myself. But it's an old bug that should have been solved or not reproduced since. You should at least upgrade to a supported version to see if it's still happening.
