Minisforum MS-01 unstable and hangs running Xcp-ng 8.3
-
@olivierlambert But am I right about the backup that I can't trust them?
I must have held the power button in to force reboot opposite 5 times now I think. But notice no errors on xcp-ng or other vms that are running, everything just starts working again after a reboot.How much can Xcp-ng 8.3 withstand this extreme treatment before I should fear corrupt system files on Xcp-ng itself?
-
Just received it for testing purpose
-
@olivierlambert Running also on a VP6670 with 64GB RAM (which seems is what you got). So anything you want me to test, fire away
-
I wonder about the power draw difference with and without the P cores (leaving only the E cores).
-
That is great to hear that E/P-cores are working. I now have a migration project on my hands

@steff22 You should not need the microcode if xcp-ng works out of the box with hybrid CPU's.
When you force the power off, are the VM's reset time the same as for the host? Example: Does the kernel-power off event correspond with your hosts hard reboot, if you have Windows VM's running?
-
@iLix don't know how to check the last activity log in the xcp-ng host before the ms-01 crashes.
But according to the smart house log on windows vm, the crash time was 2 hours before I forced the power off. So expect this time to be the same on all running vms and the xcp-ng host itself.
windows vm has lost direct contact with the m.2 storage at this point and cannot write more in the log. so to me it seems like the whole ms-01 freezes and crashes.

@steff22 Mine "crashed" before i added this to the grub.cfg "pcie_port_pm=off pcie_aspm.policy=performance" (Proxmox)
The Windows event log would state kernel-power error matching the same time as the forced reset, so the VM's are still running while in this state.
This happened while idle, I would see a lot of cluster sync errors, as if they lost connection to the network (Using the 2.5 NIC's)Maybe in the same realm as this issue:

@iLix okay
is different With me, I have nothing in the windows event log since the whole ms-01 crashes, no writing to m.2 strorage from vms either. then it's the same as just pulling out the power cable when it crashes. so this indicates a cpu error or motherboard if I'm not mistaken. -
Yes, that sounds like generally faulty unit not only the CPU related stuff.

@olivierlambert Wow really nice unit makes me want to jump on those lighter fanless unit as i have lots of those 1L unit that works perfectly but has a small fans that i can hear if i really focus. I just like fanless unit to avoid dust getting in lol.
