      OK, 3 months is good because I'm in a nasty bind right now and this may need to wait until August. I would expect many other places to have the same issues.

                @stormi I just used them to upgrade the 8.2.1 systems in my test pool. All seems fine so far.

                    @stormi I did a standalone host ISO install, all works as expected. I also did a pool ISO upgrade (8.2.1 to 8.3), master first, others second, migrated live VMs from old to new, all works as expected.

                      Did minor testing. Seems ok.
                      Haven't tested Backups.

                        @stormi Upgrade problem... I upgraded a good working busy 8.2.1 server to 8.3 (using the new ISO). The upgrade went well without error. No guest VMs were changed.

                        Same issue in XO (Master 7be70) and XOA (5.107.2), so it must be an XCP issue. There are three new problems (all was working before);

                        1. XCP coretemp no longer loads/works. Error: coretemp coretemp.0: Adding Core 0 failed
                        2. XO Host CPU stats and Load are now reported as zero (It's a busy machine, they are not zero)
                        3. XO All guest VMs report zero CPU usage. Some just report No stats. for CPU. They do have current recognized guest tools (Linux and Windows). They do report other stats (memory, network, disk).

                        Other older XCP 8.3 hosts/guests are working.

                          @Andrew Does restarting the toolstack bring the stats back?

                          CC @Team-XAPI-Network

                          Regarding coretemp, @r1's module doesn't work anymore with Xen 4.17. See https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/669. A possible workaround is using IPMI readings, when available. For a better solution, there's work needed in Xen.

                          (CC @Team-Hypervisor-Kernel, FYI)

                          mikhail-shevtsov-wiregate created this issue in xcp-ng/xcp

                          open XCP 8.3 coretemp module doesn't detect any sensors #669

                            @stormi Got it... I missed that one for coretemp. Vates ticket opened for the XOA stats problem after 8.3 upgrade.

                              The above issue is solved in packages that we haven't released as an update yet, that @Andrew tested.

                                You probably saw it, but just in case: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2025/06/16/xcp-ng-8-3-is-now-lts/

                                Today marks several important updates for XCP-ng 8.3. In a nutshell:

                                • It officially becomes a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, as previously announced when it was first released on October 7th, 2024.
                                • We are releasing updated installation images ("ISOs") that include installer improvements and all updates published since the original release.
                                • XOSTOR, our hyperconverged storage solution powered by LINSTOR, is now officially supported on XCP-ng 8.3.
                                • A new, dedicated upgrade ISO is available to support upgrading from an 8.2 pool that includes a XOSTOR storage repository.

                                  @stormi @olivierlambert I did see it! Contratulations and a huge thank you for the new LTS release!

                                    Just for clarification sake (I know this might have been said before), installing patches is the same as upgrading from iso in this case ?
                                    (Unlike with previous update where it was mandatory to upgrade using iso)

                                      @gb.123 Yes. If you think it's not clear in the blog post, I'll think how I can word it.

                                      Current wording:

                                      This announcement does not represent a new release. It applies to the existing XCP-ng 8.3.

                                      If you're already running XCP-ng 8.3, you're on the LTS version. There's no need for a full upgrade. Standard package updates will keep your system current.

                                        Congratulations to all the staff at Vates at getting XCP-ng version 8.3 to the LTS stage.

                                            @TrapoSAMA No, as with 8.2, this isn't something displayed in the console.
                                            Since it doesn't indicate that an updated 8.2 is actually 8.2.1, only the major version is displayed. We have the same behavior here.

                                            However, as with many other products, this is clearly displayed on the XCP-ng homepage, in addition to the announcement on the blog.
