security fix installed. Does it require a reboot of the system?
-
@nuts23 yes
-
@stormi testhost updated, restored some part of our infrastructur (DC, Mail, ...) on local ZFS pool, connected the VMs to a test network. Runs. A bit slow (more vCPU used than the PCPU can delivier), but runs.
-
@stormi said in Updates announcements and testing:
Anyone?
I updated one host in a pool and reboot. It is working as before. Seems no problem. I can't see any diffrence vcpu usage as @borzel say.
-
So far so good .. I haven't noticed any visible change in performance like @borzel but still monitoring.
-
Since there's an update for both XCP-ng 7.5 and 7.6, please all tell me which version you tested
-
@AllooTikeeChaat there was no performance change, was the first use of that test host
@stormi XCP-ng 7.6, just HVM, no PV
-
If all goes well I'll push the updates to everyone on monday. Meanwhile, please go on with the testing if you can.
-
@stormi XCP-ng 7.6
-
Thanks to everyone who tested the update candidate. I've now pushed the security update for XCP-ng 7.6. I'm holding that of XCP-ng 7.5 until at least one person confirms that it's working for them.
-
Sorry been away this weekend .. @stormi XCP-ng 7.6

I've installed the updates on a pool. Now every time I migrate a pfSense HVM VM within the pool the console is gone and memory usage is at 100%. I did do the following on the pool master:
yum update xenopsd xenopsd-xc xenopsd-xenlight --enablerepo='xcp-ng-updates_testing'. The package version also differs from other hosts (0.66.0-1.1.xcpngversus0.66.0-1.el7.centos). Would that be the cause? -
@Ultra2D Could you downgrade to the previous version with
yum downgrade xenopsd xenopsd-xc xenopsd-xenlight, restart the toolstack and tell us if migration works better?Also make sure that you already have the latest updates for
xcp-emu-manager, which fixed many migration issues about two months ago. See https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/wiki/Updates-Howto#a-special-word-about-xcp-ng-75-76-and-live-migrations. -
@Ultra2D In fact, you may be right, differing versions of those packages may cause an issue, because both hosts may behave differently regarding VMs that have no
platform:device-idset.So another test to do would be install the update candidate for those packages on all hosts and restart their toolstack, then test migration of that VM again.
-
@stormi Thanks. Installing the update candidate on all hosts and restarting the toolstack works, but only after power cycling the VM once.
xcp-emu-manageris version0.0.9-1Is it advisable to stay on the testing repo until the next version? There are some more non-Windows HVM VM's.
-
@Ultra2D so you mean that installing the updated packages would "break" the first migration of such a VM unless it's been rebooted once? If that is so, then I'd advise to revert to the previous version (or to make sure not to attempt a migration without power cycling the VMs once). Else, your choice. If the updated packages bring a benefit to you, you can keep them, else revert to the previous ones.
-
@stormi I only tested with one VM. It crashed a couple of times when the pool master had updates from
xcp-ng-updates_testingand the slaves had the updates that were released yesterday. After updating the last remaining slave to updates fromxcp-ng-updates_testing, moving the VM resulted in a stuck VM. So I don't think you can draw any conclusions from this, except maybe that you should install the same version on master and slaves. -
Xen security updates pushed to everyone (7.6 yesterday, 7.5 today).

I'm getting an error
Running transaction test Transaction check error: installing package xen-dom0-tools-4.7.6-6.4.1.xcpng.x86_64 needs 1 inodes on the /var/log filesystem -
@codedmind This is probably related to a bug in the openvswitch package and log rotation. We sent a newsletter about it a few days ago: https://mailchi.mp/7ed52f9a2151/important-noticeopenvswitch-issue
