            We have identified an issue related to Xostor and HA management in the http-nbd-transfer-1.4.0-1.xcpng8.2 package. We therefore prefer to remove it from these updates while waiting for a future corrected version.

            For those who have tested these updates and who have Xostor on their test pool, we invite you to downgrade this package to version 1.3.0 with the following command:

            yum downgrade http-nbd-transfer

              @gduperrey, that doesn't seem to work for me. I receive an error from yum:

              No Match for available package: http-nbd-transfer-1.3.0-1.xcpng8.2.x86_64
              Nothing to do

                @JeffBerntsen Do you have XOSTOR on the pool?

                    Not yet, but was planning to add it to this test pool so thought I should downgrade beforehand. Does that particular patch only apply to systems with XOSTOR already installed?

                      This package is installed by Xostor. If you have not installed it yet, it is not present on the system and has not been updated.
                      The right package, in the right version, will be installed when you will install Xostor to test it.

                        @gduperrey, I suspected that was the case after seeing that message but wanted to make sure. Thanks!

                          New update candidates for you to test!

                          A new batch of non-urgent updates is ready for user tests before a future collective release. Below are the details about these.

                          • iperf3: Upgrade to version 3.9-13 from CentOS 7
                            • Includes a security fix for CVE-2023-38403
                          • kernel: Backport of a fix to correct cooling fan rotation speed on some Lenovo servers. For more information, you can read this thread on the forum.

                            • Updates firmware for families 17h and 19h CPUs
                          • netdata: Fixed an issue that could occur when quickly uninstalling the package, right after an unfinished installation, and leave a service in an undetermined status.
                          • openssh:
                            • Synchronized with hotfix XS82ECU1072 from Citrix.

                            • intel-igc: This driver replaces igc-module to maintain consistency with the change made in this direction in 8.3.
                          • vendor-drivers: Updated to pull intel-igc instead of igc-module, following the package renaming.
                          • xcp-ng-deps: Added vim-minimal as a dependency, so it is always present on XCP-ng systems.
                          • xcp-ng-release:
                            • Synchronized with hotfix XS82ECU1072 from Citrix.
                            • Upstream changelog: "Start dhclient on iSCSI BFS interfaces".
                          • xenserver-status-report:
                            • Synchronized with hotfix XS82ECU1072 from Citrix.
                            • Update from version 1.3.16-3 to 1.3.17

                          Optional packages:

                            • More information about drivers and current versions is on the drivers page: (https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/wiki/Drivers).

                          Test on XCP-ng 8.2

                          From an up to date host:

                          yum clean metadata --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
reboot

                          The usual update rules apply: pool coordinator first, etc.

                          Versions

                          What to test

                          Normal use and anything else you want to test. The closer to your actual use of XCP-ng, the better.

                          Test window before official release of the updates

                          None defined, but early feedback is always better than late feedback, which is in turn better than no feedback 🙂
