XCP-ng 7.5.0 Release Candidate
-
I'm not sure to get everything you wrote here.
mv: cannot stat ‘/usr/sbin/lvmetad’: No such file or directory
is 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?
apcupsd
doesn'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

- Nope

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_testing
repository:- 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)
-
@olivierlambert No issue to do it.

Great!

my first host with xcp-ng upgraded successful to 7.5 (Intel NUC) without an error.
thanks for the great job !second server has also been updated successfully.
the third server I use pci passthroug for 2 DVB cards.
So far that was excellent under 7.4.1.Since upgrading to 7.5 I get the following error if i want to start the vm with the passthroug pci devices:
vm.start { "id": "40bcca30-d07a-db7c-5744-c134a30af5d1" } { "message": "INTERNAL_ERROR(xenopsd internal error: (Failure \"Error from xenguesthelper: Populate on Demand and PCI Passthrough are mutually exclusive\"))", "stack": "XapiError: INTERNAL_ERROR(xenopsd internal error: (Failure \"Error from xenguesthelper: Populate on Demand and PCI Passthrough are mutually exclusive\")) at wrapError (/home/node/xen-orchestra/packages/xen-api/src/index.js:197:9) at /home/node/xen-orchestra/packages/xen-api/src/index.js:1064:18 at run (/home/node/xen-orchestra/node_modules/core-js/modules/es6.promise.js:75:22) at /home/node/xen-orchestra/node_modules/core-js/modules/es6.promise.js:92:30 at flush (/home/node/xen-orchestra/node_modules/core-js/modules/_microtask.js:18:9) at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:131:7) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:180:9)", "code": "INTERNAL_ERROR", "params": [ "xenopsd internal error: (Failure \"Error from xenguesthelper: Populate on Demand and PCI Passthrough are mutually exclusive\")" ], "method": "VM.start" }
all seem ok

Does anyone have any idea what that might be?
does anyone have an upgrade to 7.5 with pci passthroug on the run?Thanks and Greetings

@christianuhlmann said in XCP-ng 7.5.0 Release Candidate:
Populate on Demand
Do you know what's this? It seems incompatible to have it enable in parallel with PCI Passthrought.
edit: it seems your dynamix min/max and static max aren't set at the same value.
-
Hi
After a bit of googling on populate on demand I realized.
strange that it worked under 7.4.1.if I understood correctly, it is the dynamic ram assign with min / max.
after I entered a fixed size for ram, the start worked fine.
thank you for the great work

I think ballooning + PCI passthrough can cause some crashes, so that's why there is a check to avoid using both at the same time.

Updated via YUM, all seemed to go well, except the xcp-ng tools ISO only seems to have the Linux directory and the readme.txt file on it, no windows tools.
Guests on 3 hosts same.
file appears to be "guest-tools-7.29.0-2.iso" in /opt/xensource/packages/iso
cheers.
-
The windows tools are not free software, we can't distribute them. There's a way to install them though: https://xcp-ng.org/2018/04/23/the-future-of-vm-tools/ (see "a better model")
-
The readme doesn't say that. Might need to adjust it.
-
Indeed. I'll fix it.
-
@bungo I uploaded a fixed package, can you test it?
# only needed if you test so quickly that yum's cache couldn't expire yum clean metadata --enablerepo='*' # install the update candidate yum install xcp-ng-pv-tools --enablerepo='xcp-ng-updates_testing*'
Here's what you should see in the Windows section of
README.txt
We are not allowed to redistribute the windows tools built and signed by Citrix, so they are not included here. If you are using Xen Orchestra, you can switch the "Windows Update tools" advanced parameter on from the "Advanced" tab of the VM view. This will allow you to install the tools directly from Windows Updates. Any help in building the tools from the sources to add them back in this ISO image is welcome. See https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/23

Ran, tested, all as expected. Thanks.
