    @hrvojer Ever since 2012 R2 went out of support, there have been multiple compatibility breaks in the drivers and guest agents since they now target Server 2016+. It might be possible to get the drivers working on 2012 R2 in a testing environment, but bringing that to production is another topic.

    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 ?

    @mpiton Thanks for a fantasticly quick answer, and detailed as well. I will test this immediately! Update: I can confirm that this was indeed the problem!

    @tjkreidl We don't need performance, but we do need to test how XCP-ng pools, networking, migration, live migration, backup, import from VMware and so on work. It's just a playground where we can have relatively many XCP-ng hosts, but it's not about performance, it's about efficiency and low requirements, because it's just a playground where we learn, validate how things work, and prepare the process for the final migration from VMware to XCP-ng. We originally had two R630s ready for this, then 4, but that would have been unnecessary, given the power consumption, to have physical hypervisors, so in the end we decided to virtualize it all. Well, on ESXi it's because XCP-ng works seamlessly there in nested virtualization.

    @Bambos A timeout error means that the host did not reply in the expected delay, which, if I'm remembering correctly is 5 minutes. I suspect a problem on your host but we will take a look further on your support ticket.

    @techknowbabble said in GRUB waits for confirmation: What did finally work was re-installing with the 'no serial' option and everything seems to be working as expected now. I only have a handful of XCP-NG installations under my belt but I wonder if this is a known bug or if anyone else has had a similar experience. It's not something I've ever seen before and I've done quite a few installations but I can think of some possibilities as to why something like that might fix the problem. My best guess is that there's something built into, connected to, or otherwise in your system that looks like a serial port (maybe even a real serial port) that spits out a character or two into the system at boot time, confusing GRUB and stopping the normal boot process. The bad KVM I mentioned before was doing something like that, throwing a bogus keypress into the system at boot time.

    @plaidypus Ah gotcha, this makes sense. I second scaling out instead of up. If you're getting new hosts, I'd also keep in mind newer CPUs do have much higher per core performance (not sure what your current stuff is), so you also might be able to get away with less vCPUs and lower likelihood of NUMA spanning. Either way though I think scaling out is the better direction to go.

    @R2rho yeah, there are Supermicro systems with AM5 which can handle a decent amount of load, like based on the h13sae-mf, like: https://www.supermicro.com/de/products/system/mainstream/1u/as-1015a-mt (with less depth) Seem to be stable, but we have a small issue regarding onboard graphics ATM: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/9976/black-screen-after-install-on-supermicro-h13sae-mf-with-ryzen-9950x/3?_=1734419502978

    Thanks for letting us know, and I'm happy you have thing working nicely now. I think to mark this as resolved you need to convert your original post as a question, and it can then be marked as resolved. I actually cannot do it myself, I think only a few people have the permission to do it for others at Vates.

    @dinhngtu said in Issues with XCP-ng Windows PV Tools 9.0.9000.0 Testsign Pre-release: With 9.0.9000.0, you could sometimes run into this issue if you reboot too early after installing. This will also be fixed in the next release. I just did two more tests and the boot-up failure happened both times. On the last test I waited some time (like 30 to 60 sec) after the driver installation before rebooting (using Windows restart from the start menu). Even though I waited before rebooting I still encountered the boot-up problem: Windows is spinning on this screen and doesn't finish booting: [image: ef30a370-5897-41e6-a0f1-41fa3720dacb-image.png]

    @olivierlambert Which one, powershell or WAC. They are kind of one in the same when you look at how WAC makes the calls to do the work, there's a button to reveal the powershell behind the button clicks so you might be able to get both at once. But WAC draws nice graphs and gives us a GUI to get the work done. Yes I know, real Admins don't use GUI. Whatever, AI will eat our jobs anyway, just trying to stick it out another 9 years at this point. When I get time, I'll still probably take a swing at this task for WAC, because to me this would be valuable. Big learning curve though. Now if MS would finally add Group Policy to WAC and fix some of the DHCP and DNS features that are still in preview...
