        @IgorGlock Hello,

        Could you share the exception that should be in /var/log/SMlog?

          Hello,

          I deleted the entire XOA and downloaded fresh image, recreated configuration and blank SR.
          The issue is gone. I will test some VDI migrations this week.

          There are is some performance impact and timeouts when creating 100-200 VMs on single 10 TB SR. I use xo-cli vm.create script. See you later 🙂

                Hello. just wanted to let you know that I got this error message on one of my servers (the others worked fine), when installing the last 25 updates manually via "yum update"

                So in consequence the update seems to simply fail. I am aware that the manually installed zabbix packages are not "official" packages. However, from my current understanding the error looks more like a non-zabbix related issue. I am wondering, since I have another exactly identical server, which updated fine. If you need some informations, just let me know.

                  Sorry, about this. I think when migrating PV VMs from a previous system I had issues and "needed" to install "qemu-img" and I did not remember. So removing it, solved the problem. So all my fault. Sorry about this message!!!

                    Ran the 2 updates released today and...
                    Back to only showing one VM in Backup/Restore as it did a month or 2 ago.
                    Ran the replication job and all VMs showed up in Backup/Restore again. (XO5)

                      anyone know if applying these two patches requires rebooting?

                        @marcoi I've read in the blog post of Vates that no.
                        Did it anyway.

                          Indeed, no reboot required if those are the only patches that you are applying, as indicated in the blog post.
