I have pushed the netdata update to XCP-ng 8.0 and 8.1's update repository.
-
Several update candidates have been available for some time in our testing repositories without me asking for feedback, so here is the request for tests.
XCP-ng 8.0
Update with:
yum update openvswitch xapi-core xapi-doc xapi-tests xapi-xe xcp-networkd --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testingChanges:
- support for backups with RAM in Xen Orchestra
- openflow support in the SDN controller
- dhcp requests now properly send the hostname to the DHCP server
Aim of the tests:
- no regression after installation and reboot
XCP-ng 8.1
Update with:
yum update xapi-core xapi-doc xapi-tests xapi-xe xcp-networkd --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testingChanges:
- fix compatibility with XenDesktop

Updated a D54250WYK / i5-4250U / 16GB
XCP-ng 8.1 fully patchedSeems to work without unexpected issues, VMs are running fine.
My USB NIC setup / configuration stopped working, but that was somewhat expected.
I will fix this and report back, if I have an idea why it broke.
Works again after another shutdown / start sequence

Updated xcp-ng 8.1 fully patched (Dell R710, dual L5640, 92GB).
no regression to report (but I am not using Xendesktop, SDN, and my dhcp already contains hostname) -
IMPORTANT Security updates!
Calling all stations
Please test it with
yum update qemu --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing.Might be a bad flaw, so earlier people get feedback, faster we can release it
-
@olivierlambert said in Updates announcements and testing:
qemu
Does this require a reboot or toolstack restart?
-
Good question. If I'm reading this correctly:
Once the hotfix has been applied, the affected guest HVM VMs will need to be restarted or migrated to an updated host to make the remediation effective.
In short, fresh
qemu"fixed" process will be respawn at VM creation/reboot, so no need to reboot the host. -
Updated a D54250WYK / i5-4250U / 16GB
XCP-ng 8.1 fully patched including the update candidates from 11 days agoUpdate ran succesfully (no errors).
Rebooted the host just to be sure.
VMs came up with no problem and seem to work as expected (but I realy just fired them up and poked around a bit, so no real testing) -
Thanks a lot!

Updated Dell R620 / XCP-ng 8.1. Rebooting all VMs now, but they appear to be coming up just fine.

It's live
Thanks for the feedback! -
New security update candidate for the Xen package in XCP-ng!
Prompt feedback needed
So, a new patch of security patches were released for the Xen hypervisor that is at the core of XCP-ng. Updates candidates are available for XCP-ng 8.1 and in the making for XCP-ng 8.0.
What's being fixed
Mostly flaws allowing privileged guest processes may crash the host under certain conditions.
XCP-ng 8.1
- Update with
yum update xen-dom0-libs xen-dom0-tools xen-hypervisor xen-libs xen-tools --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing - Reboot.

@stormi Updated a D54250WYK / i5-4250U / 16GB / XCP-ng 8.1 fully patched
Host is indeed working and VMs started without any issues.
Will try on my new R720 later, but I am confident that it will work as well.
Nice work as always
Edit: Updated a Dell R720 / dual Intel Xeon CPU E5-2640 v2 / 128 GB / XCP-ng 8.1 fully patched as well. All good.

I just pushed the update to the official updates repository. Maybe you installed it already, if you ran
yum update. -
