XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

[dinhngtu]

@ovicz Ok, I've contacted the storage team for a look.

@ovicz Can you share the /var/log/SMlog file from the master? It's quite strange considering that this driver is small and hasn't been modified.

@ovicz I'd also like to have a look at /var/log/daemon.log after a failed VM startup attempt.

i have applied updates to my 2 amd home lab hosts. Ryzen 7700x and 7950x amd x670e mobo's. No issues to report. Windows vm migrated between hosts no isssues. No issues with windows vm booting with uefi enabled prior to update.

Strange thing the disks don't appear in xen orchestra but they are on the drive:

@ovicz Hello,

From what I saw in your logs, you have a non QCOW2 sm version, it made the QCOW2 VDIs not available to the storage stack and the XAPI lost them.
If you update again while enabling the QCOW2 repo:

yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing,xcp-ng-candidates,xcp-ng-qcow2

A SR scan will make the VDI available to the XAPI. Though you will have to identify them and connect them to the VM manually, since this information was lost.

[stormi]

I added a warning to my initial announcement.

[ovicz]

@dthenot

They appear now. I will try to identify them manually. Thanks for the tip.
