Xen Orchestra from Sources not showing host updates?
-
Not sure if this is expected behaviour or not. In the past, when I went to the Patches tab on my XCP-ng hosts, I would see patches listed here and I could choose to apply them. Now, I see none.
I have 2 hosts: one is running xcp-ng 8.0.0, the other is running 8.1.0. (They are single-host pools). In both cases, I see the green check mark and "host is up to date". There are no patches listed.
For the 8.0.0 host, I followed the upgrade from CLI instructions. The
yum updatecommand finished successfully and now it shows up in Xen Orchestra as running 8.2.1. But I was expecting Xen Orchestra to offer some amount of updating/patching/upgrading.I haven't made any changes to the 8.1.0 host because I wanted to see if there was something I need to fix.
Do I misunderstand what I should see?
I'm running xo-server 5.89.0 and xo-web 5.94.0 from the sources via a Docker container.
Thanks,

XO will be able to detect available updates not "upgrade" to a newer release.
XO is using a XAPI plugin we did that will call
yum check-updatesthat's it
So if there's no updates detected with this command, then there's nothing to be updated (and reported as is in XO UI) -
@olivierlambert I appreciate the explanation. That suggests that there are no updates to 8.0.0? Or 8.1.0? 8.1.0 is 2 years old and EOL. I guess that's what EOL means: no more updates.

That's correct. There's no more updates, that's why you MUST upgrade to 8.2 (see https://xcp-ng.org/docs/releases.html#all-releases )
