      @Danp Yeah, that didn't work. I restarted the tool stack on all of the pool's hosts, and no go still.

        @TheNorthernLight I'm also getting that the VM failed to pass secure boot verification. I've never had that problem and have no idea how to resolve it.

          @Danp Turns out, I was missing the UEFI Secure boot certificates on my hosts. Odd how this never came up as an issue prior, but now it seems "required". At least its an easy fix:

            Previously, enabling Secure Boot on a VM would do nothing at all. Starting with update 8.2.1, we now support it and as you found out you need to bootstrap it on the pool.

              @stormi So from what I understand, at the moment the XCP-NG client drivers cannot be used for secure boot, and we must use the Citrix drivers.

              We have ALL of our VMs using the XCP-NG Client drivers. How do we successfully switch to the Citrix drivers?

              I tried on a test VM to uninstall the XCP-NG client drivers, reboot and enable the Citrix drivers install, but the OS refuses to boot after removing the XCP-NG Client drivers. How do I "install" the Citrix drivers without having the xcp-ng client driver conflict?

                I think the steps would be similar to what we do in the opposite situation: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/guests.html#upgrade-from-citrix-xenserver-client-tools

                  Restart the toolstack on each server.

                  This worked for me.

                      Check your disk space on the server. in my case no diskspace left...
