          @stormi said in XCP-ng 7.5.0 Release Candidate:

          wget https://updates.xcp-ng.org/7/xcp-ng-7.5.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/xcp-ng-7.5.repo
          yum install xcp-ng-deps
          yum update
          reboot

          I was expect, to see 'update' message in new xcp-ng-center, after install repo and deps - but is not show anything.

          Anyway, command line update works good.

                  I'm not sure to get everything you wrote here.

                  1. mv: cannot stat β€˜/usr/sbin/lvmetad’: No such file or directory is identified and reported to Citrix. It's not XCP-ng specific.
                  2. What do you mean by "test connection"?
                  3. Does USB passthrough worked before on 7.4.1?
                  4. What kind of modification did you do on 7.4.1 before updating? was it "vanilla" or you installed/configured some stuff on it?
                  5. apcupsd doesn't sound coming from vanilla XCP-ng

                      Ok
                    2. What do you mean by "test connection"?
                      The hypervisor successfully connected to the NAS, for the purpose of importing a saved VM. The VM started OK.
                    3. Does USB passthrough worked before on 7.4.1?
                      Only showed the UPS usb device, never the U-Blox AG , this is the same situation with 7.5 (Thread USB Passthrough 20 Jun 2018, 14:13)
                      Both versions show the device U-Blox AG using the lsusb command.
                    4. What kind of modification did you do on 7.4.1 before updating? was it "vanilla" or you installed/configured some stuff on it?
                      Installed apupsd (Thread Apcupsd UPS support 15 Apr 2018, 17:33)
                      The upgrade appears to have removed the apcupsd daemon, /usr/sbin/apcupsd, but not the service definition
                      7.5
                      service apcupsd status

                      ● apcupsd.service - SYSV: apcupsd monitors power and takes action if necessary
                      Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/apcupsd)

                      DATE : 2018-08-01 18:44:05 +0100

                    Citrix did not support apcupsd, but Citrix upgrades in the past did not remove it.

                    1. apcupsd doesn't sound coming from vanilla XCP-ng
                      No, but ups support is essential for safeguarding the system.

                      Yeah but Citrix isn't relying on Yum to upgrade πŸ˜‰ If you want to be "defensive", then upgrade via the ISO on boot, not on a live system πŸ™‚

                      Problably a dependency thing.

                        Hi

                        I do not quite understand your answer, please can you clarify.
                        The system was clean installed from 7.4, 7.41 to 7.5, all xcp-ng.
                        The ony addition was the ups yum , as described in my thread.
                        Are you suggesting that a clean install will

                        1. fix the pass through for the Ublox?
                        2. To get ups support I must repeat my extra ups software install,?
                          unless xcp-ng is going to provide an alternative package for UPS support?

                        Thanks

                        Aimee

                          1. Nope

                            This thread is having several discussions in parallel. If nobody minds, I'll move them to separate threads soon.

                            Update: done.

                              I pushed several update candidates to the RC in the updates_testing repository:

                              • vhd-tool fixing two bugs:
                                • "VDI import seems broken for large VHD files" https://bugs.xenserver.org/browse/XSO-868
                                • "VDI export fails with VDI I/O error" https://bugs.xenserver.org/browse/XSO-873
                              • xen security update

                              To test: yum update --enablerepo='xcp-ng-updates_testing*' and reboot.

                              What we need is to make sure they cause no regressions.

                              Thanks!

                                Is this interfering with the ZFS packages or there is no issue to do it? (especially blktap)

                                      second server has also been updated successfully.

                                      the third server I use pci passthroug for 2 DVB cards.

                                      does anyone have an upgrade to 7.5 with pci passthroug on the run?

                                        @christianuhlmann said in XCP-ng 7.5.0 Release Candidate:

                                        Populate on Demand

                                        Do you know what's this? It seems incompatible to have it enable in parallel with PCI Passthrought.

                                        edit: it seems your dynamix min/max and static max aren't set at the same value.

                                          Hi
                                          After a bit of googling on populate on demand I realized.
                                          strange that it worked under 7.4.1.

                                          if I understood correctly, it is the dynamic ram assign with min / max.

                                          after I entered a fixed size for ram, the start worked fine.

                                          thank you for the great work πŸ™‚

                                          Christian

                                            I think ballooning + PCI passthrough can cause some crashes, so that's why there is a check to avoid using both at the same time.
