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

jmccoy555

yum makecache
yum update

everything appears to be good

olivierlambert

thanks!

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

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

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']

@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?

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

kadir

@olivierlambert Unitrends back-up for XenServer.

I'm not sure Unitrends is supporting XCP-ng. Please refer to your backup vendor.
