      I'll need at least one tester for the latest update candidates on XCP-ng 7.6, and one for 8.0.

        OK. Installed it on our last 7.6 server. Reboot was OK. VMs run fine. As this is a test host I cannot test more. It runs on AMD so the microcode_ctl should do nothing on our server.

          @cnaumer Thanks, this is good enough for me at this stage of the testing, so I can push the 7.6 updates now thanks to you!

            @stormi Installed the updates in our test pool. Until now everything is working. VM migration etc. Also set viridian flags as advised ( xoa vm has this set also? is this OK?)
            Regards

            Christian

            This was an 8.0 pool here. Just to clarify this.

              At 8.0:
              I did yum update, but there are only new versions of guest-templates-json*, so can't quite see anything to check.

              Just in case I rebooted the host. The reboot took about 1 minute 40 seconds which i s OK for this host.

              The test VMs started OK as well.

                That's enough to check if everything is fine πŸ™‚

                  So I have pushed the updates described in https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/16360 to XCP-ng 7.6 and 8.0 repositories. Thanks for the tests.

                      New update candidates for XCP-ng 8.0: guest-templates* and xcp-ng-pv-tools

                      XCP-ng 8.0

                      guest-templates*

                      The updated packages add templates for RHEL 8 and derivatives as well as a template for Debian 10.

                      Instructions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/274 (RHEL 8 and derivatives) and https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/276 (debian 10).

                      xcp-ng-pv-tools

                      The updated package adds support for installing the tools on RHEL 8 and its derivatives (CentOS, Oracle Linux, etc.).

                      Update: a new revision of the package now also adds tentative support for:

                      • CloudLinux
                      • Alpine Linux
                      • FreePBX (Sangoma Linux)

                      Instructions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/293.

                      What we need

                      As usual, Vates tests the updates internally, but we also rely on the community to widen the test cases and hardware tested, so we need you to install the updates and give us feedback, either positive or negative, before we can consider pushing those updates to everyone!

                      Please use the github issues to provide feedback so this thread here remains clean.

                        installed and tried to use a centos8 template. It does not allow to use UEFI. Is this intended?

                              November 2019 security update for XCP-ng

                              New security update candidates are available (XCP-ng 7.6 and 8.0). As usual, I will only release them to everyone after enough testing, so if you can please install the update candidates.

                              Instructions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/302

                              Please use the github issues to provide feedback so this thread here remains clean.

                              But also...

                              I'm also still interested in feedback regarding the added support in the guest tools ISO for:

                              • CloudLinux
                              • Alpine Linux
                              • FreePBX (Sangoma Linux)

                              ... and the added Debian 10 template. See my post about that https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/18268 above.

                              I'd like to release all updates at the same time if possible.

                                Hi Stormi - any chance you could add support for Gentoo Linux?

                                  It's not on my priority list but I'd probably accept a well tested pull request to https://github.com/xcp-ng/xe-guest-utilities/

                                    The security issues are serious and public, and I haven't had any feedback about the update candidates yet, so I'm doubling my call.

                                      Last chance to test before I release them based only on our internal testing.

                                          No problem here, RHEL 8 support for guest tools works as expected (tested on the last RHEL 8.1 release), good job πŸ‘Œ
