      @stormi Some quick testing of the alternate kernel on my test systems seems to be working fine with the not-unexpected issue that the XOSTOR test does not come up and run on it.

        @stormi That was an easy 2.8k update on both hosts with no problem. VMs continue to run without any issues so far.

            @rus2lan The igc driver we backported from the 4.20 kernel doesn't appear to be working well indeed. That's why I did not include it in the final release of XCP-ng 8.2.1 ISOs.

              XCP-ng 8.2.1 is now released. A huge thanks to everyone who tested and gave feedback to us.

                I upgraded 3 of my homelab hosts, all were up-to-date 8.2's before this update. One of them blurted out this right at the end of the upgrade, but I did not observe any negative consequences yet.

                  @apz The script that deletes then recreates the guest templates when they are updated apparently failed on your host. Are there any missing templates in your template list?

                    @stormi The affected host has only 2 templates, 2022 Windows and Suse 12.

                      @apz Try to re-run the script that failed:

                      /usr/bin/create-guest-templates-wrapper

                            @stormi I ran it 5 times in a row. Always after base-windows-8.json.

                              @apz does rpm -V guest-templates-json guest-templates-json-data-linux guest-templates-json-data-other guest-templates-json-data-windows give any output (it would reveal if there's a corrupted file)?

                                @stormi This command did not produce any output, so I assume the packages are fine.

                                      The error message suggests an internal network error message. Does this host have custom iptables rules, or xapi.conf entries?

                                        @stormi I have not touched xapi.conf, iptables has one additional rule to default, which allows port 4949 in. It's copy-paste of other rules in /etc/sysconfig/iptables, save changed port.

                                          @apz Are there differences between the installed hosts that could be a lead? Could you compare the lists of installed RPMs between your hosts? (rpm -qa | sort). Is the network configuration different?

                                          Are there error logs in xensource.log, user.log, daemon.log when you run /usr/bin/create-guest-templates-wrapper?

                                            @stormi I diffed this host (originally installed as 8.2.0) and one I installed very recently (during 8.2.1 testing phase). Their differences are:

                                            137d136
                                            < igc-module-4.20.17-1.xcpng8.2.x86_64
                                            274a274
                                            > MegaCli-8.07.14-1.noarch
                                            394d393
                                            < r8125-module-9.003.05-1.xcpng8.2.x86_64
                                            

                                            The 8.2.1 installation appears to have network card modules in packages, the old installation has MegaCLI installed because of its RAID controller.

                                            xensource.log is attached, user.log didn't yield anything, neither did daemon.log

                                            As I was running this command again and again, it succeeded once. Out of curiosity, I tried running it again and again on my other hosts that had succeeded the last time. I could introduce a random failure on all of them, maybe 1 out of 20 or more rare.

                                            xensource.txt
