XCP-ng 7.5.0 Release Candidate
-
-
Upgrading via
yumwent smoothly! Had a slight issue with the reboot. The XCP-ng splash would display and the bar would go all the way down, but the server wouldn't actually turn off. Had to do a power cycle over IPMI. -
On a test machine, I've upgraded from Xenserver 7.2 directly to this version and it worked fine. I've used PXE network installation to upgrade.
Congrats on this release! -
GFS2 is supported, like XenServer?
-
Yum update both of my lab hosts to 7.5 RC .. nice job team!
-
@_danielgurgel No, GFS2 is not an open source feature in XenServer, it's proprietary.
-
yum upgradeon my testbox went ASAP - As Smooth As Possible
-
Congratulations to everyone, impressive work!
I didn't expect ZFS and Ceph support so soon, nice! -

wget https://updates.xcp-ng.org/7/xcp-ng-7.5.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/xcp-ng-7.5.repo
yum install xcp-ng-deps
yum update
rebootI was expect, to see 'update' message in new xcp-ng-center, after install repo and deps - but is not show anything.
Anyway, command line update works good.
-
my first host with xcp-ng upgraded successful to 7.5 (Intel NUC) without an error.
thanks for the great job ! -

Updated and working so far

I'm not sure to get everything you wrote here.
mv: cannot stat ‘/usr/sbin/lvmetad’: No such file or directoryis identified and reported to Citrix. It's not XCP-ng specific.- What do you mean by "test connection"?
- Does USB passthrough worked before on 7.4.1?
- What kind of modification did you do on 7.4.1 before updating? was it "vanilla" or you installed/configured some stuff on it?
apcupsddoesn't sound coming from vanilla XCP-ng

Ok- What do you mean by "test connection"?
The hypervisor successfully connected to the NAS, for the purpose of importing a saved VM. The VM started OK. - Does USB passthrough worked before on 7.4.1?
Only showed the UPS usb device, never the U-Blox AG , this is the same situation with 7.5 (Thread USB Passthrough 20 Jun 2018, 14:13)
Both versions show the device U-Blox AG using the lsusb command. - What kind of modification did you do on 7.4.1 before updating? was it "vanilla" or you installed/configured some stuff on it?
Installed apupsd (Thread Apcupsd UPS support 15 Apr 2018, 17:33)
The upgrade appears to have removed the apcupsd daemon, /usr/sbin/apcupsd, but not the service definition

Citrix did not support apcupsd, but Citrix upgrades in the past did not remove it.

No, but ups support is essential for safeguarding the system.

-
Yeah but Citrix isn't relying on Yum to upgrade
If you want to be "defensive", then upgrade via the ISO on boot, not on a live system Problably a dependency thing.
-
I do not quite understand your answer, please can you clarify.
The system was clean installed from 7.4, 7.41 to 7.5, all xcp-ng.
The ony addition was the ups yum , as described in my thread.
Are you suggesting that a clean install will- fix the pass through for the Ublox?
- To get ups support I must repeat my extra ups software install,?
unless xcp-ng is going to provide an alternative package for UPS support?
Thanks
Aimee

- Nope
- Yes.

This thread is having several discussions in parallel. If nobody minds, I'll move them to separate threads soon.
Update: done.
- Update with HA enabled / or not upgrading master first : https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/265/issues-when-upgrading-with-ha-enabled
- USB passthrough: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/266/usb-passthrough-test-reports-in-7-5rc1

I pushed several update candidates to the RC in the
updates_testingrepository:- vhd-tool fixing two bugs:
- "VDI import seems broken for large VHD files" https://bugs.xenserver.org/browse/XSO-868
- "VDI export fails with VDI I/O error" https://bugs.xenserver.org/browse/XSO-873
- xen security update
To test:
yum update --enablerepo='xcp-ng-updates_testing*'and reboot.What we need is to make sure they cause no regressions.
Thanks!

Is this interfering with the ZFS packages or there is no issue to do it? (especially blktap)
