@apz No, I have not done any such customizations.

@olivierlambert Tried with tsc clock, same result. rngd started to eat 50-100% of cpu right after started it,

However I just tested how Oracle runs if the rngd service is stopped....and looks like no problems.

So the solution seems to be just stop and disable the rngd service and everything works the same they did in bare bone hardware!

Thanks to everyone who helped with this!

Hi,

There's a vTPM object: https://xapi-project.github.io/xen-api/classes/vtpm.html

@gskger I could. I also have a very janky solution laying around, in the form of a Mini PCIe to PCIe adapter that could replace the ProDesk's Wifi card. I could then plug in a bog standard Intel PRO/1000e Quad Nic card. Haven't got around to trying that though.

@okynnor Just curious how you ended up doing this in the end...any advice you may have would be helpful. Thanks!

Thats when I ran the builder before the currently installed one.

@glitchy This weekend everything moved to 8.2. Windows 2008 works as before. Management agent version 7.2

@r1 Yup, see https://gist.github.com/vegarnilsen/dce2b5c17cf188f1fa2c7615dc6fefc4 for the modinfo and lsmod output.

@tuxen Since we're not using FibreChannel, I disabled fcoe before the latest test, see the gist above for info.

I'm asking because I need to increase my pool's CPU resources, the easy way is buy the same processor, but thinking in a more powerful option, RAM and networking features are ok, but compute performance is being starvest by some VM.

I have an old pool, which I had to upgrade some years ago, but no more original model components were available, so I had to buy a new model, new cpu generation, so it became an heterogenous pool. The problem was not the lost of new cpu features, the problem is that time to time, when I performe a live migration VM, it hangs and I must reboot the VM.

Keeping in mind to avoid and heterogeneus pool, I think the safest option is 5220S, because 6226R implies more changes which I unknow in the architecture, maybe new features, that's what I unknow.

Any piece of advice?

Hi, I add the same thing last week. Yes it was a driver issue that got through Windows Update. I actually download the latest driver from Citrix and it solved my issue, I also de-activate the Windows update tools. I didn't try to inject the drivers, I restore a backup from the night before.

No, there is none. You should have no problem using the Debian 10 template for any VM.

There's no universal answer, check per process what are those threads 🙂

@jku209 Go to Home -> Storages, click the SR you want to change, inside the SR information just double click the name on top and you should be able to change it.

@olivierlambert great setup, and very good written article. So NFS is recommended over iSCSI cause of less possibilities to misconfigure.

Iam running a cheap single host system with 1x Xeon E-1230v5. I would love to get a second host up and maybe with focus on desktop virtualization and GPU Passthru. Thanks for the hint on Epyc Servers.

good inspiration on this board and community 👍

Yes, and this is good news! 🙂

No need to convince me, that's why here at Vates, we already planned to work on q35.

I was just talking about biggest Xen contributors, who might have other priorities.

@nbaudet thanks a lot for your feedback!

No problem 🙂 Thanks yourself!

Hi!

XCP-ng Center is not officially supported as client for XCP-ng. It's only community maintained and doesn't report updates. Applying patches shouldn't crash the host, at all. Try to check the logs if it's related and if you have more info Rebooting is needed if you want the patches to be applied "for real". In theory, there's only some kind of patches that would require a reboot (kernel and Xen itself), but so far we can't discriminate them, so we ask for a reboot to be 100% they are applied anyway.

I tried to get the mountpoint with the command from @tony but the result always was "The uuid you supplied was invalid."

To get a new/live log i restarted the toolstack (the 100th time..) and now everything is working again. I dont know why but okay..

Thank you very, very much @olivierlambert and @tony for your help!!!!

Thanks for the input @tony and @stormi. Turns out I've managed to get most of the machines back on the second node after getting some help to force it back to being the master and powering off dead VM's etc. so I think I've avoided having to do this.

It is really useful info however, and I will probably give this a try at some point just so I can if I ever need too.

Thanks again.
