For now I have upgraded all hosts to use --enablerepo=xcp-ng-linstor-testing to get kmod-drbd.x86_64 0:9.2.18-2.0.xcpng8.3 That way it is there to be picked up if the host crashes again. https://github.com/xcp-ng-rpms/drbd/blob/master/SPECS/kmod-drbd.spec https://koji.xcp-ng.org/buildinfo?buildID=5747 [12:15 ovbh-pprod-xen04 ~]# yum upgrade --enablerepo=xcp-ng-linstor-testing Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Excluding mirror: updates.xcp-ng.org * xcp-ng-base: mirrors.xcp-ng.org Excluding mirror: updates.xcp-ng.org * xcp-ng-updates: mirrors.xcp-ng.org grafana/signature | 810 B 00:00:00 grafana/signature | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 !!! xcp-ng-linstor-testing/signature | 473 B 00:00:00 xcp-ng-linstor-testing/signature | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 !!! zabbix | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 zabbix-non-supported | 2.9 kB 00:00:00 (1/3): grafana/primary_db | 879 kB 00:00:00 (2/3): xcp-ng-linstor-testing/primary_db | 2.4 kB 00:00:00 (3/3): zabbix/x86_64/primary_db | 114 kB 00:00:00 Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package kmod-drbd.x86_64 0:9.2.16-1.0.xcpng8.3 will be updated ---> Package kmod-drbd.x86_64 0:9.2.18-2.0.xcpng8.3 will be an update ---> Package zabbix-agent.x86_64 0:7.0.27-release1.el7 will be updated ---> Package zabbix-agent.x86_64 0:7.0.28-release1.el7 will be an update --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Updating: kmod-drbd x86_64 9.2.18-2.0.xcpng8.3 xcp-ng-linstor-testing 2.8 M zabbix-agent x86_64 7.0.28-release1.el7 zabbix 660 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Upgrade 2 Packages Total download size: 3.4 M Is this ok [y/d/N]: y Downloading packages: Delta RPMs disabled because /usr/bin/applydeltarpm not installed.

Thanks for this first reply. So how restart a VM create : with a CR job with the snapshot with memory and keep the backup chain healthy? For now, I'm using the "With memory" option because I think it's the best choice for reliably restoring VMs such as an AD or a SQL Server database. Am I wrong?

Thanks for the feedback @norpan , worth it! Ping @florent

Created two pull requests for the issues: https://github.com/xenserver/xe-guest-utilities/pull/180 https://github.com/xcp-ng-rpms/xcp-ng-pv-tools/pull/14 @rzr , for the latter, I don't have any experience with xcp-ng's testing suite, so I'll need guidance assuming testing is warranted.
