      @Andrew If I understand correctly that is ran after regenerating the initrd, but to be sure, can you check the date of your /boot/initrd-4.19.0+1.img on this host?

        Here's what the posttrans scriptlet exactly executes:

            dracut -f /boot/initrd-4.19.0+1.img 4.19.0+1 
    udevadm trigger --attr-nomatch=driver && udevadm settle -t 30

          So if the initrd has been regenerated, it's likely the second part that fails, otherwise it is dracut, which is more of an issue.

            @bleader @stormi Microcode was updated and initrd was rebuilt correctly and the system rebooted with the updates, so I don't know what the error was. Running the commands manually produces no errors. Maybe the system was busy and it was the shorter 30 second settle timeout (vs. the default 120 seconds), at this time it returns quickly.

            The warning was only on one system (out of 5 identical pool hosts) but caused no actual issues.

                New update candidates for you to test!

                As you may know, we group non-urgent updates together for a collective release, in order not to cause unnecessary maintenance for our users.

                The moment to release such a batch has come, so here they are, ready for user tests before the final release.

                • XAPI:
                  • Synced with XS82ECU1074
                    • Enhancement: robustification of the command xe host-emergency-ha-disable
                    • Correction of different issues:
                      • Performing a hard shutdown of a VM may hang due to unnecessary RBCA permission checks. An icon (yellow triangle) may then be displayed on some management applications, indicating that the shutdown process did not complete successfully.
                      • Canceling a hard shutdown of a hung VM fails because the cancel function only checks for proper shutdowns.
                      • Migrating VMs from 8.2.1 to 8.3 with the xe vm-migrate command may fail with the error 'Failure: Unknown tag/contents'.
                      • You may encounter a 500 error (internal server error) when trying to retrieve RRD measurements from a powered off virtual machine.

                    • Oracle 8 requires minimum 2 vCPUS.
                    • Added template for Ubuntu 24.04

                  • Install pyc and pyo files

                Test on XCP-ng 8.2

                From an up to date host:

                yum clean metadata --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing,xcp-ng-candidates
yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing,xcp-ng-candidates

                ~1 week.
