XCP-ng 8.3 betas and RCs feedback 🚀
-
Thanks for the tip !
Anyway to delete the crontab created for root ? Or it is not required (since it is blank anyways) ?(I should have just usedcrontab -ir)I also noticed that I get an option to "Upgrade" to RC1 from beta 2. This should technically not happen since I installed beta 2 in Legacy BIOS mode and am now installing RC1 in UEFI mode since the former would be deprecated.
Is that an error in installer or upgrade is possible ?

It's not exactly an error, but it's not very good either. This would fail at some point so don't attempt it. We suggested to add the detection of such situations, upstream, but neither them nor us had the time to implement it: https://github.com/xenserver/host-installer/issues/11

Here's a new batch of updates for XCP-ng 8.3 RC1. I hoped there would be less changes after a release candidate, but between our own fixes and the updates published by XenServer, the list is rather big.
The following names are build identifiers, which can differ from the actual RPM names.

- guest-templates-json-2.0.10-1.3.xcpng8.3: removed XenServer's mention "preview" from well established templates (RHEL 9, Debian 12, ...), added new generic Linux templates to avoid the use of the less adequate "Other installation media" template.
- http-nbd-transfer-1.4.0-1.xcpng8.3: XOSTOR-related fixes

Does this mean XOSTOR is ready to be tested in 8.3 ?

I ran yum update a few minutes ago and got this:
warning: %triggerin(sm-3.2.3-1.1.xcpng8.3.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Non-fatal <unknown> scriptlet failure in rpm package sm-3.2.3-1.1.xcpng8.3.x86_64The server started and the VMs seems to be running.
I'm not running iSCSI so i hope its OK -

Not yet.

@stormi Updated a single lab with no problems.
I'm not sure if "pure positive" updates are meant for this thread, so I'll just report that, anyways

@stormi For us, the openvswitch-2.17.7-2.1.xcpng8.3 update has definitively solved the problem of overlay networks that weren't working (thanks David M. for all your help and hard work).
Unfortunately, the sm-3.2.3-1.1.xcpng8.3 update seems to have broken something in our iSCSI sessions. We now have 3 sessions instead of the usual 4 (2 interfaces on the host to two controllers on the storage array).
We have a less-than-ideal configuration with a large, flat network ( we have a project planned to put everything back the way it should be) with interfaces named c_eth4 and c_eth5, as recommended in the documentation in such cases.
It seems that the new version respects the use of interfaces for one of the two targets, but not for the other, which uses the default interface.

I'm not running iSCSI so i hope its OKIt comes from a trigger added by XenServer which updates the
/etc/cgrules.conffile but attempts to do so even when already patched, so it fails.No consequences but this warning.
I fixed it and reported it upstream: https://github.com/xapi-project/sm/issues/705

I did an update of a 8.2 host to 8.3 via ISO install. Everything is working as it should but I get the below error on the host advanced tab with PCI passthrough. I had a Nvidia GPU passed through to a RHEL 9 VM on the 8.2 host. This was done via the command line.
I will load 8.3 on a new host with the same hardware config later in the week to confirm that it must be something to do with the 8.2 --> 8.3 upgrade.
Let me know if you need more info.
-
That's an interesting one, maybe a bug in the way we parse all the device?
Can you copy/paste lspciin here? -

-
Seems to be running fine on our 12 hosts, iSCSI came up fine too with all our paths.
-
@brezlord I think it might be related to some recent XAPI code, I don't think it's XO related. Might worth a specific investigation, I'm not sure it's due to the upgrade itself.
-
@olivierlambert I'll report back at the end of the week when I deploy a new host with the exact same hardware config and a fresh install.

@pierre-c I dont use iSCSI in my lab anymore, but yesterday when I did a "yum update" of 8.3 Beta, I got a script error when yum was running through all the updates. The script that failed was part of the sm update.
To be honest, I didnt bother doing anything with the error as everything seemed to work OK for me after, so I just ignored it. But.. Maybe I should have said something.. Sorry guys..
-
@Anonabhar We discussed the script error above. It's benign and will be fixed.
