"Xenserver 8" patching

infecticide

As far as I can tell, we get support directly from Citrix not 3rd parties.

I've been dealing with the same 3 or 4 folks in Xenserver and PVS support since I started at my company 10 years ago.

Citrix is one of the few vendors we have that we don't have much to complain about.

Happy you have a better experience with Citrix than we had, but in their favour that pushed us to Vates and we've been happy ever since

@infecticide I have same problem, XO works fine with Citrix hypervisor but not with new Xen 8

RS

@Danp Is Xenserver 8 patching supported in XOA? Update is little different than before and config describe at https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/updater.html#xenserver-updates works only with "citrix hypervisor"

Danp

@RS I believe that our developers are looking into this.

RS

Do you have any idea when it will be supported?

@olivierlambert thanks

MathieuRA

Hi @RS.
I just wanted to know if you can test this branch: fix-xs-8-patches.
It should fix the list of missing patches (not the RPU or other update function from XO)

RS

@MathieuRA Hi yes, I can test it

RS

@MathieuRA How to apply patch "fix-xs-8-patches" is it public?

olivierlambert

If you are using XO from the sources, you need to switch the branch. If you are on XOA, you need to wait a bit more for being available in our December release

RS

@olivierlambert Now I see missing Xen8 updates, but cannot install them. Button "Install all patches" show dialog > Not yet available for XenServer8. Is it correct?

olivierlambert

That's a question for @MathieuRA I'm not a XO developer myself

MathieuRA

@rs Yes, this is normal. I am still working on making the installation possible via XO.

RS

@MathieuRA ok, thanks

MathieuRA

Hi @RS
Just to let you know, there is a branch available to test RPU/install patches with XenServer 8. (xs-8-install-updates)
Feel free to test and give feedback. Thanks

RS

@MathieuRA I apply latest update but I still see dialog > "Not yet available for XenServer8"
