The typical hypervisor node was provisioned with at least 4 network ports, but most had 8 to allow trunking/resilience for every connection:
Management + live migration (Isolated)
World (Trunk)
iSCSI-A
iSCSI-BThe DotHills were 4 ports per controller, and the two controllers were configured as:
Management
iSCSI-A
iSCSI-B
SpareThe iSCSI-A and iSCSI-B were simple web-managed procurves with 24 ports each.
We had this scaled to 12 hypervisor nodes in 3 pools, all running off the same underlying dothill (dual redundant controller) hardware. We had provisioned some local SSD storage in each hypervisor for any nodes that were struggling for IOPs but ultimately never needed that.

OK we have debugged and improved this process, so including it here if it helps anyone else.
How to migrate resources between XOSTOR (linstor) clusters. This also works with piraeus-operator, which we use for k8s.

@BlueToast This should be fixed now. Please retry the XOSTOR installation.

@Danp Success this this - thanks for the assist.
Executed with great success:yum install xcp-ng-linstor yum install xcp-ng-release-linstor ./install --disks /dev/nvme0n1 --thin -
Since XOSTOR is now supported on XCP-ng 8.3 LTS, should we use the same script or some other method is required ?
Can you remove the heading which states the script is only compatible with 8.2 ? -

Is CBT meant to be supported on XOSTOR?
I've been experimenting with XOSTOR recently, but upon testing a delta-backup, noticed this warning...
The error message behind this is
SR_OPERATION_NOT_SUPPORTEDwhen callingAsync.VDI.enable_cbt.Running
xe sr-param-list uuid={uuid}shows the following:[~]# xe sr-param-list uuid={...} uuid ( RO) : {...} name-label ( RW): CD6 name-description ( RW): Array of Kioxia CD6 U.2 drives, one in each Host. host ( RO): <shared> allowed-operations (SRO): unplug; plug; PBD.create; update; PBD.destroy; VDI.resize; VDI.clone; scan; VDI.snapshot; VDI.mirror; VDI.create; VDI.destroy {...etc} type ( RO): linstor content-type ( RO): user shared ( RW): true introduced-by ( RO): <not in database> is-tools-sr ( RO): false other-config (MRW): auto-scan: true sm-config (MRO): {...etc}Compared to another SR, the following allowed-operations are missing:
VDI.enable_cbt; VDI.list_changed_blocks; VDI.disable_cbt; VDI.data_destroy; VDI.set_on_bootIs this the expected behaviour? Note that this is using XCP-ng 8.2 (I've yet to test out 8.3).

@peter_webbird We've already had feedback on CBT and LINSTOR/DRBD, we don't necessarily recommend enabling it. We have a blocking dev card regarding a bug with LVM lvchange command that may fail on CBT volumes used by a XOSTOR SR. We also have other issues related to migration with CBT.

@ronan-a @dthenot @Team-Storage
Guys, Can you please clarify which method to use for installing XOSTOR in XCP-ng 8.3 ?
Simple :
yum install xcp-ng-linstor yum install xcp-ng-release-linstor ./install --disks /dev/nvme0n1 --thinOr the script in the first post ?
Or Some other script ? -
@gb.123 Hello,
The instruction in the first post are still the way to go
