    @JamesG, Yea i ended up having to go with a bare metal ubuntu install + docker containers for everything and have been off to the races, I would still like a hypervisor but unfortunately had to move on. The software stack on these intel's gpus is still maturing but i'm running some pretty impressive models on them and for the money it has been a good investment, hopefully these will gain some popularity and get better support all around. GPU hosting definitely deserves some attention from xcpng. I would buy some licenses for some production use cases but things like this and nested virtualization (completely unrelated but also something i ran into this past week) needs attention.

    The same as @john.c and also XO Lite tends to be less a priority because less critical than the full fledged XO (the priority is to replace entirely XO 5 in the next releases). Why you would need XO Lite outside basic actions? It's mostly meant to bootstrap XO itself and do basic operations (which is already the case, at least with many basic features already). Initially, the goal hasn't moved: replacing XenCenter. We are moving in that direction, but again, I think it's more important to get XO 6 finished first. I'm curious to understand more the use case of XO Lite in your context @unreal-shizzle ?

    We are fully aware of Broadcom's decision to stop providing the VDDK library to the cloud community or to reserve its download to some authorized partners and customers. As much as we regret this decision, we have to respect it. Because it impacts users who need to make backups, we are evaluating alternative options to address this situation. We will provide further guidance as this evaluation progresses but can't share more information for now.

    About the xsconsole: sometimes it's not refreshing. You can try to get access to the console, then type "xsconsole" it will start it and you should see it works You must have the master up to date if you want your slave to connect again. I never tried to elect a new master in the middle of the upgrade, I would discourage it. Better shutdown some VMs on the master, upgrade it and you are automatically back on track.

    @Danp yes I ran "yum update" to be sure but "nothing to upgrade" on the pool-master. I try with storage (iscsi) NIC configured and without Storage NIC configured but the pool join freeze. Seems that persist some "SESSION" (may be referred to the slave host previously configured?) or some incoerence in the pool database... from /var/log/xensource of the slave host when try to join the pool: "session_check D:520c5b4e5b36 failed with exception Server_error(SESSION_INVALID, "

    @olivierlambert Agreed. The Citrix forum used to be very active, but especially since Citrix was taken over, https://community.citrix.com has had way less activity, sadly. It's still gratifying that a lot of the functionality still is common to both platforms, although as XCP-ng evolves, there will be continually less commonality.

    For anything older than the branches still shown in https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org, (from v3.0 to v3.12), the packages should be downloaded from their cdn: https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine But as mentioned above, anything older than 3 releases from the lastest current one(v3.21) are end of life and should not be used for more than testing.

    @vkeven XCP-ng 8.1 release note says VSS and quiesced snapshots support is removed, because it never worked correctly and caused more harm than good. Note that Windows guest tools version 9 (the default for recent versions of Windows if you install Citrix drivers) already removed VSS support, even for older versions of CH / XCP-ng I am not sure if this VSS feature is bound to the PV drivers, or if it also needs hypervisor support. Though it is not recommended to stay on a old version of the guest agent.

    @olivierlambert @olivierlambert said in Diagnosing frequent crashes on host: Maybe there's a usage that's slightly different since when it was "more solid" and now it's trigger more easily. Is your XCP-ng fully up to date? No; as said originally, I'm still on 8.2.1. I have been concerned about moving to 8.3 because it's a new installation, and I don't want to screw it up, but I'm willing to accept that it's the right thing to do.

    reboot of host does it stop or kill running VM's?

    Could someone elaborate on the procedure to have all VMs on a host shutdown properly upon XCP-NG host shutdown please? I tried from the host prompt: xe host-disable xe host-shutdown and from XOA Host: shutdown, with warning (This will shutdown your host without evacuating its VMs. Do you want to continue?) and rightly so the host has seemingly become unavailable (ping to its IP stops) But then what happens is very odd: first the VM on it still pings for a couple minutes (yes after the host stops to answers the ping) then the VM stops pinging but AFAICS XCP-NG is not OFF Awkwardly, I just access to the IDRAC8 entreprise license on which XCP-Ng is running, and can't SEE the proper status of XCP-NG from it. AFAIK it's not pinging but it doesn't seem OFF either. At least the IDRAC shows it ON, and upon power cycling and reconnecting to the VM the logs shows it hasn't been cleanly shutdown. NB: the VM has xen-guest-agent running within a container, but from what I gathered, the agent in Linux guests has no role in VM shutdown: See https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/10631/understanding-xe-guest-utilities/16 Also, I doubled check Proxmox: it does clean shutdown VMs, either with a "shutdown -h now" command or when triggered from GUI. And that's with a VM that has Promox guest installed. In any case, it would be nice to have XCP-NG/XOA be able to do the same.

    @olivierlambert I was looking for a way to mark this solved, can't find it. I haven't moved things, but after migrating my big lab to my mini-lab, I'm confident that the warm migration is the way to go. It was fast and seamless as long as you have the right network adapters set up. I had to fool with one of my networks to make a VM function, but that was certainly something I overlooked while setting up the mini-lab. A little testing before moving the VMs should make this go easily if using the old servers is the option for this project.

    @MAnon This is a valid point actually, and without additional work, you couldn't just restore to another hypervisor. However, check this blog post: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-5-100/?utm_campaign=mail_5.100&utm_term=logo&ct=YTo1OntzOjY6InNvdXJjZSI7YToyOntpOjA7czo1OiJlbWFpbCI7aToxO2k6NjU7fXM6NToiZW1haWwiO2k6NjU7czo0OiJzdGF0IjtzOjIyOiI2NzIzODI1NDE4ZjVmMjE5NDI2OTYwIjtzOjQ6ImxlYWQiO3M6NToiODM5ODciO3M6NzoiY2hhbm5lbCI7YToxOntzOjU6ImVtYWlsIjtpOjY1O319 Veeam is likely going to properly support XCP-ng. And for what it's worth, you can use agent based Veeam backups in the VMs and that works fine.
