    Test on XCP-ng 8.3

    From an up-to-date host:

    yum clean metadata --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
reboot

    The usual update rules apply: pool coordinator first, etc.

    Versions

    • biosdevname: 0.3.10-5.xcpng8.3
    • blktap: 3.55.5-2.1.xcpng8.3
    • cyrus-sasl: 2.1.26-24.el7_9
    • gpumon: 24.1.0-40.1.xcpng8.3
    • intel-ice: 1.15.5-2.xcpng8.3
    • kernel: 4.19.19-8.0.38.1.xcpng8.3

    • psmisc: 23.6-2.xcpng8.3
    • python-urllib3: 1.26.20-3.1.xcpng8.3
    • rsync: 3.4.1-1.1.xcpng8.3
    • smartmontools: 7.4-2.xcpng8.3
    • xapi: 25.6.0-1.4.xcpng8.3
    • xcp-featured: 1.1.8-1.xcpng8.3
    • xcp-ng-release: 8.3.0-31
    • xen: 4.17.5-9.1.xcpng8.3
    • xenserver-status-report: 2.0.11-1.xcpng8.3
    • xha: 25.0.0-1.1.xcpng8.3

    What to test

    Normal use and anything else you want to test. The closer to your actual use of XCP-ng, the better.

    Test window before official release of the updates

    None defined, but early feedback is always better than late feedback, which is in turn better than no feedback 🙂

    We will not be very available on this forum until Monday to help fixing issues if there are any, so don't update too fast if that's a possible problem for you.*

  • RE: Cannot get to XO Lite portal

    @anik I believe that you have some of the names backwards.

    • XO Lite is available by default on XCP-ng 8.3. See the documentation for how to access it on XCP-ng 8.2.1.

    • The newer XO 6 interface is accessible from XOA by using /v6. It may need to be explicitly enabled to use it on XO from sources.

  • RE: VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!

    @coolsport00 Export the VM as an OVA file, then import this on the XCP-ng side.
