      Did the update and a reboot just minutes ago.
      Dell R710 / dual xeon L5640 / 96GB
      XCP-ng 8.1 with latest patches / pool with a single host

      System is working as expected so far.
      If I notice anything during usage I will report back here

        Same here.
        Updated a Dell R720 / dual Intel Xeon CPU E5-2640 v2 / 64GB
        XCP-ng 8,1 fully patched
        Standalone host

        Still have to do some testing on / with VMs, but this is something for the weekend.

            Hi everyone.

            An update candidate is available for netdata packages in XCP-ng 8.0 and 8.1. Feedback about it is welcome.

            They fix two issues:

            • a buffer overflow in JSON parsing, that could pose a security threat
            • netdata logs being flooded due to a bug in the computation of the last vcpu number

            To install the update candidate on XCP-ng 8.0 or 8.1:

            yum update "netdata*" --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
            

            This will update the netdata and netdata-ui RPMs if they are installed on the host.

            You can also install them if not already present with:

            yum install netdata-ui --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
            

            Note that installing netdata-ui automatically opens port 19999.

                  Doe the netdata update not actually fix the missing network interfaces or virtual drives?

                    @Biggen I am not aware of this problem. Mine (updated) displays the server's 6 physical eth interfaces and 3 more xapi0 ~ xapi2 and 9 physical drives sda to sdi. I still not have multipath configured in the servers.

                      Perhaps it was fixed. The bug report doesn’t show it: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/379

                      I uninstalled it back in April and haven’t retested.

                      biggen1684 created this issue in xcp-ng/xcp

                        @Biggen The updated netdata packages display the vm's vbds data (in and out), but nothing for the vm's network interfaces. Not even its presence in the vm's domain.

                          No, that bug is not fixed yet.

                            Anyone else who could test the netdata update candidate?

                                Several update candidates have been available for some time in our testing repositories without me asking for feedback, so here is the request for tests.

                                XCP-ng 8.0

                                Update with:

                                yum update openvswitch xapi-core xapi-doc xapi-tests xapi-xe xcp-networkd --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
                                

                                Changes:

                                • support for backups with RAM in Xen Orchestra
                                • openflow support in the SDN controller
                                • dhcp requests now properly send the hostname to the DHCP server

                                Aim of the tests:

                                • no regression after installation and reboot

                                XCP-ng 8.1

                                Update with:

                                yum update xapi-core xapi-doc xapi-tests xapi-xe xcp-networkd --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
                                

                                Changes:

                                • fix compatibility with XenDesktop
                                • openflow support in the SDN controller
                                • dhcp requests now properly send the hostname to the DHCP server

                                Aim of the tests:

                                • no regression after installation and reboot

                                Counting on you 😉

                                    Updated a D54250WYK / i5-4250U / 16GB
                                    XCP-ng 8.1 fully patched

                                    Seems to work without unexpected issues, VMs are running fine.
                                    My USB NIC setup / configuration stopped working, but that was somewhat expected.
                                    I will fix this and report back, if I have an idea why it broke.
                                    Works again after another shutdown / start sequence 😊

                                      Updated xcp-ng 8.1 fully patched (Dell R710, dual L5640, 92GB).
                                      no regression to report (but I am not using Xendesktop, SDN, and my dhcp already contains hostname)

                                        IMPORTANT Security updates!

                                        Calling all stations

                                        Please test it with yum update qemu --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing.

                                        Might be a bad flaw, so earlier people get feedback, faster we can release it 🙂

                                          Does this require a reboot or toolstack restart?

                                            Good question. If I'm reading this correctly:

                                            Once the hotfix has been applied, the affected guest HVM VMs will need to be restarted or migrated to an updated host to make the remediation effective.

                                            In short, fresh qemu "fixed" process will be respawn at VM creation/reboot, so no need to reboot the host.
