          Update candidate: qlogic-netxtreme2 and qlogic-netxtreme2-4.4.0+10-modules

          • target: XCP-ng 7.5 and XCP-ng 7.6
          • reasons for the update: updated driver to fix various issues including kernel oops
          • packages:
            • qlogic-netxtreme2-7.14.49-1.x86_64.rpm
            • qlogic-netxtreme2-4.4.0+10-modules-7.14.49-1.x86_64.rpm
          • description of the changes:
            • an updated driver was needed to fix various regressions in hardware support for NICs using the bnx2x driver, regressions that started with XenServer 7.2.
            • we had a test package available but an official driver disk has been issued upstream, so we'll release this one instead: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX239113
          • install: yum install --enablerepo='xcp-ng-updates_testing' qlogic-netxtreme2-7.14.49-1.x86_64
          • testing tips: test if you have the required hardware. If you haven't, just test that it installs correctly and nothing unexpected breaks.
          • reboot: not required if you know how to unload (rmmod) and re-load (modprobe) the driver from the command line. Else a reboot will do it for you.

              Did a test on 5 physical hosts (from 7.5 to 7.6): everything is working correctly.

              We should probably release this in "prod" for Monday

                Xen security update released for 7.5 and 7.6RC1.

                The qlogic-netxtreme2 package will stay in updates_testing a bit longer to let people test it.

                    Note to everyone interested in helping in testing update candidates (which is very important for the confidence we have in our updates), you can subscribe to this topic and make sure your user settings in this forum allow sending notification e-mails to you (it does not by default).

                    Update candidate: xcp-emu-manager

                    • target: XCP-ng 7.5 and XCP-ng 7.6
                    • reasons for the update: fix a VM migration issue that occurs mostly with loaded VMs
                    • packages:
                      • 7.6: xcp-emu-manager-0.0.6-1.x86_64.rpm
                      • 7.5: xcp-emu-manager-0.0.3-1.1.x86_64.rpm
                    • description of the changes:
                      • Many users reported seemingly random migration failures. Community testing alllowed to find that it was consistently reproducible by forcing high resource usage such as with this command: stress --cpu 1
                      • The problem was caused by the fact that xcp-emu-manager, our replacement of the proprietary emu-manager component from Citrix that handles suspend, resume and migrate operations, did not know how to handle progress messages that arrived when not expected anymore, near the end of the migration process. The fix consists in ignoring those messages when the next step of the process has already started.
                      • Fixes https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/72
                    • install: yum install --enablerepo='xcp-ng-updates_testing' xcp-emu-manager
                    • testing tips: migrate VMs, especially loaded ones. Or artificially stress linux VMs with the stress command then migrate them.
                    • reboot: no reboot required, no toolstack restart.

                    For this specific update, please report your results there: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/522/unable-to-migrate-live-vms-after-upgrading-from-xcp-ng-7-4-to-7-5

                      The update for 7.6 has been made available as a regular update, as xcp-emu-manager-0.0.6-2.x86_64.rpm. It should prevent most migration crashes, but can still get stuck when the VM is heavily loaded. Instead of failing directly, it will now try to wait for a low enough activity to resume the process. We're still working on it to bring a better, complete solution.

                          An update to XCP-ng 7.6 has been pushed: xcp-emu-manager-0.0.9-1, that fixes all known migration issues (well, except this bug from XenServer: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/111). Update for XCP-ng 7.5 is being prepared.

                              New update candidate for XCP-ng 7.6. It adds support for NFS 4.1, that has been contributed by a member of the community and already merged upstream in the XAPI project!

                              Install it:
                              yum update sm sm-rawhba --enablerepo='xcp-ng-updates_testing'

                              Revert:
                              yum downgrade sm sm-rawhba

                              Thanks in advance for your feeback!

                                          So did anyone install the update candidate for sm, check that they see no obvious regression and ideally test NFS 4.1 support?
