The installer is built. We are testing it, then we will be able to provide it to you so you can test it in turn.

@kawreh said in Plugins in XO6?:

Isn't there a plugin section in XO6?

Not yet apparently. My guess is that it is "coming soon"

Thanks for all the feedback!

I found another link that isn't completely fixed
https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/10613/suspicius-presentation-of-time-in-backup/

Are you in UTC+1? This one might simply be because the VM's name shows the UTC time while, in the tables, we convert dates to your actual timezone.

In thin provisioning It would be nice to have info about a VMs actual use of disk space

We're actually in the middle of improving how sizes are measured in general: SRs (thin/thick), VDIs, snapshots, chains of VDIs, transfered vs used vs allocated size, etc.

XOA v5 links not working...

We're still fixing a few things regarding this. It will most likely be fixed very soon

With XO from source if I put config.mounts.toml into /etc/xo-server/ I have to provide absolute paths instead of relative ones

Both should work. Do you start xo-server in any specific way?

We do warn about the certificate situation in the 8.3 release notes, indeed, but it's easy to get caught by that.

There's a way to temporarily disable LTS verification on the new hosts in order to join it to the existing pool.

See https://docs.xcp-ng.org/releases/release-8-3/#certificate-verification-xs which in turns points to https://docs.xenserver.com/en-us/xenserver/8/hosts-pools/certificate-verification where you'll find that command.

Regarding your initial situation, I'm not 100% sure, but I think Warm Migration, might be a way to migrate your VMs off your slave hosts while minimizing downtime. I don't know how it plays with CBT and heterogenous pool state exactly though.

stormi

@paco I think it's the first time someone asks this, which is surprising to me, because CBT enabled + local storage may not be such a rare thing.

I wasn't aware of this blocking situation. We'll need to evaluate it, document it, and if possible find a way to avoid it.

In your situation, if all you've done is upgrading the pool master, I would advise to boot the upgrade ISO again and use it to restore the 8.2 backup that was made automatically during the upgrade. Then boot the master again, disable CBT on all your disks, and start again with the upgrade.

@bazzacad Those are orphan VDI snapshots.

stormi

@thomasp I'm struggling so much to find the time to do it, and my colleagues are equally busy, but I'll try to make it happen this week!

pdonias

@ph7 Thanks for all the feedback! We took notes of everything, and we're already fixing some of them

@jr-m4, @probain and @acebmxer We were eventually able to reproduce the VDI name bug, we'll fix that!

@Davidj-0 said in ️ XO 6: dedicated thread for all your feedback!:

Should we add this to https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/installation#installing-dependencies ? Or will it not be necessary after the next release?

It won't be necessary after we merge this PR, which should be very soon.

@gduperrey said in How to Install XCP-ng Guest Tools on Rocky Linux 10?:

but I don't have a release date yet, even for testing

Actually it's already available as xcp-ng-pv-tools in the xcp-ng-incoming repository. What Gaël means is that we haven't run CI on it yet, so we haven't moved the package to the testing repository yet, which is when we usually invite users to test.

However here I'm able to say that there's no risk in installing it now for testing, with:

yum update xcp-ng-pv-tools --enablerepo=xcp-ng-incoming,xcp-ng-ci,xcp-ng-testing,xcp-ng-candidates

(the testing repos will only be enabled for the time of the command, not permanently)
