Updating XenTools on Windows 2022 - duplicate NIC
-
Hi!
I am having a strange issue:
When I update XenTools (Citrix-ones) from e.6. 9.3.2 to 9.4.2, there are two NICs visible in Windows 2022 after the first reboot.
After the second reboot, there is only one (as in XOA).
Do you see the same issue?
Is there anything, I can do to avoid the second reboot?Best wishes

@KPS i have seen the same on WS 2022. when upgraded to version 9.4.1 and 9.4.2 create a new nic and then the old disappears. and if static IP is set it also loses the gateway for the ip setting in some cases.

This is normal for Citrix tools due to the way they are upgraded.

Does the gateway setting loss still happen when upgrading from 9.4.1 to 9.4.2?

@dinhngtu
it definitively happened when upgrading to 9.4.1 from a spread of earlier versions. but to be honest i havent tracked if it happened to 9.4.2.i run 20~ customer xcp-ng installations most of them 9.4.1 for now since the CTX692748 security fix and was thinking to skip 9.4.2 but some newer guests of the customer servers is on that version.

@Henrik I see, that's unfortunately a known issue when upgrading from older versions. I think the problem should have been fixed when upgrading from 9.4.1 to a newer version. So I'd appreciate feedback on that too.

I'll try to remember to upgrade a couple on Monday, been meaning to test the latest drivers on some less critical VMs.

I believe this was a bug that was fixed in later versions:
