XOSTOR on 8.3?
-
@ronan-a The update was successful.
To install XOSTOR, should I use the Linstor CLI script or the XOA gui method? -
@fatek Use directly the XOA method, it correctly installs the dependencies + is more secure regarding the disk selection.
-
Is XOSTOR on 8.3 still on hold for production use?
-
@fatek Yes
-
@Danp Any ETA?
-
-
@fatek We have to release important fixes before the end of the year concerning problems with the HA which I corrected + other changes on the smapi side. I recently discussed that we should release a stable XOSTOR 8.3 version early next year in order to move forward with important projects regarding smapi v3. But I can't be categorical on a date. We lack user feedback.
-
@ronan-a I am very interested in implementing XOSTOR on XCP-NG 8.3 in my production environment. Currently running two nodes but I can expand to 3. How can I help to create a stable release of XOSTOR? I am not a developer but maybe I can provide feedback.
-
Any updates?
-
It's moving forward, but the priority now is the 2TiB limit.
-
@olivierlambert does XOStor have the 2TiB limit as well?
-
@DustinB Yes
-
As it's using the VHD format, there's no reason to be different. However, it's not impossible we configure it with the new format at some point, but loooong after we entirely validate it before.
Anyway, this is coming to 8.3, it's a matter of weeks, at worst before the end of Q1.

Nice, I hadn't realized that, I also don't use XOStor, but still good to know. Also glad to hear this limitation is finally getting moved beyong.

@olivierlambert Hello Olivier,
Any update on the status of this?
-
@TheNorthernLight I don't think this is a priority for Vates right now!!
-
@TheNorthernLight, based on this recent blog post: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2025/03/14/the-future-of-xcp-ng-lts/, I'm assuming it will go GA around or on when 8.3 gets moved into LTS. But that's just a guess.
-
Yes, our goal is to get it running for the 8.3 LTS.
-
Is there an ETA on 8.3 LTS?
-
All the details are here: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2025/03/14/the-future-of-xcp-ng-lts/
There's no more than this at the moment
