Stats are back after the latest batch of patches.

XCP-ng-JustGreat

Stats are back in XO after latest XCP-ng 8.3 updates and compiling XO from latest source. That was fast!

Great work from both XCP-ng and XO teams

@jivanpal No IPv6 addresses are configured on the host, still getting this error when doing yum update

@ravenet I did not have any problems with my Mellanox Connect-4 Lx card during upgrades from 8.2.1 (5.0 driver), to 8.3 (5.4 driver), then update to current 8.3 (5.9 driver), and then update to Xen 4.17.3. My card has the 14.32.1010 firmware. It is not used for the management interface. It is used by VMs and continued to keep the same ethernet name and function for the VMs.

@TheFrisianClause Please open a separate thread for this, where we'll follow-up (was it you who already had one about this very problem?)

stormi

By the way, it is OK, and even good, to mention any issues you have with 8.3 here. It's what's this thread is for. However, if you don't see any answers because there are too many different discussions happening at the same time, I advise to open a separate thread and mention it here, so that people can jump there and help there.

@rmaclachlan This looks awfully similar to https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api/pull/5451

A new version of xo-lite for XCP-ng 8.3 has been released:

Version: xo-lite-0.2.0-1.xcpng8.3

You can update it like this:

yum update xo-lite

For more information about the changes between version 0.1.3 and 0.2.0, you can consult this link: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/master/%40xen-orchestra/lite/CHANGELOG.md

@gduperrey should it be available by usual way at XO?

yum update xo-lite
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
No packages marked for update

rmaclachlan

@Tristis-Oris Try a yum clean all and then redo your yum update

XO Update seems to be working well for us on 3 hosts!

Tristis Oris

@rmaclachlan nvm found it. Some long lived cache at repo proxy. Looks i need a wait about 1 extra hour.

@stormi I was able to get the new version of xo-lite via yum update (and it's looking good!), so I have everything up to date, though I'm still running Xen 4.13, not Xen 4.17. However, stats in XO (not XO Lite) still aren't working for me for some reason; I'm running XO v5.92.0 (commit 25982ca, from today), built from source. All VMs are running xe-guest-utilities / management agent 7.30.0-2, as that is the version provided by my installation of XCP-ng.

@stormi said in XCP-ng 8.3 beta :

@ThierryC01 said in XCP-ng 8.3 beta :

For your information, the connection error icon in "Settings"-->"Remotes" that appears when entering a wrong password once, then connecting anyway afterwards with the correct password is still present after all the 8.3 updates.

Is this an XCP-ng issue?

After the latest XOA update, the annoying error icon is gone! So it was an XOA issue

rmaclachlan

Not sure if this is a known issue, I couldn't find it on Github but maybe I was looking in the wrong spot. Is anyone else's network Bond speeds 0? I thought I had seen a fix a month ago for this in a release but now I can't find that changelog

stormi

@jivanpal If it persists, please open a new thread in the Xen Orchestra section of the forum.

stormi

I just pushed a few updates to the xcp-ng-base repository for XCP-ng 8.3. Nothing really worth mentioning from the user point of view, so what matters is as usual to ensure no regressions are seen.

flakpyro

After installing all the latest patches from this week my XOA and xe pif-param-list are both still showing network bonds linking at 0 b/s just like @rmaclachlan pointed out above.

@stormi
In XO updated yesterday, it says: 6 missing patches. but in the patches tab i got no missing pathes ???

stormi

@ph7 This happens when not all hosts in the pool are up to date. Could it be the case?
