XCP-ng 8.1 Release Candidate now available!

[jmccoy555]

@BenjiReis 'Backup' and 'Export' from the VM screen in XO.

[BenjiReis]

Ok thanks!

[olivierlambert]

Good news! I'm able to reproduce the issue

@jmccoy555 said in XCP-ng 8.1 Release Candidate now available!:

xapi-core-1.214.1-2.5.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-xe-1.214.1-2.5.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-tests-1.214.1-2.5.xcpng8.1.x86_64

My server is fully patched (no updates showing in XO). Can someone please explain why these updates aren't showing up for me?

[jmccoy555]

Don't suppose there's a quick way to rollback is there?

[Danp]

@jmccoy555 You could try the following (untested!) --

yum downgrade xapi-core-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64 xapi-xe-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64 xapi-tests-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64

Not sure if there are other packages that would need rolled back as well.

@Danp

rpm -q xapi-core xapi-xe xapi-tests
xapi-core-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-xe-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-tests-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64

on my other physical host and that is causing me issues. Guess I'll have to do a reinstall back to RC1.

yum downgrade xapi-core-1.214.1-2.2.xcpng8.1.x86_64 xapi-xe-1.214.1-2.2.xcpng8.1.x86_64 xapi-tests-1.214.1-2.2.xcpng8.1.x86_64

Fixed packages will be available shortly. Thanks for finding this important regression.

[stormi]

They are now available in xcp-ng-testing for XCP-ng 8.1.

yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing

[olivierlambert]

Fixed to me. @jmccoy555 can you try again after updating?

[jmccoy555]

@olivierlambert yep after a

yum makecache
yum update

everything appears to be good

[olivierlambert]

thanks!

[jmccoy555]

@stormi Nice to do something useful and give a little back, other than buying a XCP-ng cushion for my office!

[olivierlambert]

Feedback/tests is REALLY vital for the community We might have spotted this, or not. So we spared bundling another ISO/upgrade after the release Thanks again!

We are still getting this error when trying to create a VBD using XENAPI

raise Failure(result['ErrorDescription'])
Failure: ['VM_BAD_POWER_STATE', 'Plugged VBD creation only allowed for suspended VM']

This is on XCP-ng 8.1
We tried to update using but same issue

yum makecache
yum update

[olivierlambert]

What are you doing exactly? Please provide more details/context

[kadir]

We also get an error when restoring a VM through an external backup program. With 8.0 we did not have this.

Error message is: Failure: ['VM_BAD_POWER_STATE', 'Plugged VBD creation only allowed for suspended VM']

[BenjiReis]

@kadir @tanonl

Since 8.1, 2 fields have added to VBD creation: currently_attached and device.
This field should not be used unless the VBD is created on a VM in the Suspended power_state.

Do you know how the VBD creation is done?

[olivierlambert]

Also @kadir what's your backup program? This doesn't affect Xen Orchestra.
