      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

      open Netdata not showing Virtual Network Interfaces for VMs #379

        @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.

          @Biggen said in Updates announcements and testing:

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

          No, that bug is not fixed yet.

                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 πŸ˜‰

                  Simple message to bring the topic on top to increase the chances of feedback.

                    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 πŸ™‚

                          qemu

                          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.

                              XCP-ng 8.1 fully patched including the update candidates from 11 days ago

                              Update ran succesfully (no errors).
                              Rebooted the host just to be sure.
                              VMs came up with no problem and seem to work as expected (but I realy just fired them up and poked around a bit, so no real testing)

                                  Updated Dell R620 / XCP-ng 8.1. Rebooting all VMs now, but they appear to be coming up just fine.

                                      New security update candidate for the Xen package in XCP-ng!

                                      Prompt feedback needed

                                      So, a new patch of security patches were released for the Xen hypervisor that is at the core of XCP-ng. Updates candidates are available for XCP-ng 8.1 and in the making for XCP-ng 8.0.

                                      What's being fixed

                                      Mostly flaws allowing privileged guest processes may crash the host under certain conditions.

                                      XCP-ng 8.1

                                      • Update with yum update xen-dom0-libs xen-dom0-tools xen-hypervisor xen-libs xen-tools --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
                                      • Reboot.
                                      • Check that your host(s) still work (Spoiler: they will).
                                      • Report here
                                      • Receive our gratitude

                                      XCP-ng 8.0

                                      Coming soon

                                        Host is indeed working and VMs started without any issues.
                                        Will try on my new R720 later, but I am confident that it will work as well.
                                        Nice work as always πŸ‘

                                        Edit: Updated a Dell R720 / dual Intel Xeon CPU E5-2640 v2 / 128 GB / XCP-ng 8.1 fully patched as well. All good.

                                          The bug/security patches upstream never seem to end. Seems like since April all you guys have had time for is this...
