RE: Refresh the XCP-ng + XOSTOR ISO ?
So, I recently built a XOSTOR upgrade ISO for users what had had linstor packages from 8.2 linstor-testing repositories, version which was also 1.29.2.
It might work for you.
However, I offer no guarantees. Actually, I'm not even sure that using an upgrade is the right solution for your problem. A failed update (whatever that means here) is usually recoverable from command line.
Here's the temporary link to the ISO image: https://repo.vates.tech/tmp/xcp-ng-8.3.0-20250616-linstor-upgradeonly.linstor-1-29-2.iso
SHA256 Checksum: 8a488359f64e61310ee346d2bb635f69a8ea57c76c0ee5aa2df8c419a75c7f3a

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing
@marcoi said in XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing:
also noticed a new issue- seems like changes i had in the /etc/xensource/usb-policy.conf file for usb was lost during the upgrade.
I have some usb comm devices i use with a home assistant VM and they were gone post the upgrade.
anyway to make those change last post upgrade? Maybe make then options in gui so a config file can always be reflective of gui settings?
This one is known. I had opened an issue about it, but it didn't get much traction yet. We also have a related item in our backlog, but it's a matter of finding resources to handle it.

@marcoi Let's move the discussion back there then

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing
@shorian I might have one for you. Can you open a new thread?

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing
@shorian Do you mean that you have hosts with XOSTOR that can't boot the installer due to broadcom drivers crashing? That's the only issue the updated ISO addresses.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing
@marcoi I don't have enough context to reply. You should open a new thread to discuss it, with details about your needs (always better to explain the needs before the technical solution).

@Andrew had the wrong link. I fixed it as soon as it was mentioned.

The name is
xcp-ng-8.3.0-20250606.2.isobecause it's the same update level as back then... Only with two updated drivers.
