XCP-ng 8.3 betas and RCs feedback 🚀
-
I decided to try upgrading my master to 8.3 in BIOS mode (see yesterday's post about UEFI failure). The upgrade seems to have gone well overall but when I try to access my NFS-mounted SRs I get
"SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_140(, Incorrect DNS name, unable to resolve., "
Evidently not everything was preserved in the upgrade.
-
@nomad A host is not supposed to lose its DNS configuration upon upgrade, but it looks like it did. Can you check from the CLI?
-
@stormi It was user error.
/etc/hosts wasn't preserved and the storage NAS isn't in DNS.
-
@nomad said in XCP-ng 8.3 betas and RCs feedback :
plug-late-sr
Looks like this RPM isn't available in 8.3 yet. Please remember to make it available as we need it.
It was created for Ticket#7714169
thanks!

Upgrade to RC2 worked fine so far with netinstall ISO in ventoy on a 8 gen i5 HP laptop. And a "full" ISO on its own USB on a Lenovo Thinkcentre Ryzen 5 2400GE
2 days ago I upgraded my fully patched Ryzen 5 RC1 to RC2 by ISO.
Unfortunately I also upgraded my XO to commit aa490.
All backup jobs since then has triggered CPU performance alerts on my backed up delta, offline VM, XCP-ng host and the VM running XO.
I will update the XO to latest commit today.
Are there any changes in RC2 that could cause this?
I have only received 1 alert on high memory earlier. -
ISO update (as recommended) for my pool of three XCP-ng 8.3 RC1 hypervisors.
Everything went perfectly for each server.
I had to reinstall the additional packages (traceroute vim-enhanced mtr etc...), re-enable LLDP advertisements on the network interfaces (lldptool -L -i eth0 adminStatus=rxtx) and recreate the multipath configuration file (/etc/multipath/conf.d/huawei.conf).
In short, nothing seems abnormal. -
can't install zabbix on 8.3.

at 8.2 i only need to enable more repos, but 8.3 already use it own Vates mirror for Centos.
yum install pcre2 --enablerepo=epel,base,sources Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * epel: ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de No package pcre2 available. Error: Nothing to do

@ph7 I don't see much changes which may lead to this result at first sight.

It is indeed missing. I must have missed something when I replicated the repository from CentOS vault.

Ok, I'm feeling dumb. I just mounted the guest tools ISO (hosts -> hostname -> console -> "select disk(s)" pulldown, select "guest-tools.iso") and I'm seeing kinda old versions of xe-guest-utilities (-2 instead of -12).

Same alert today with commit 63a88
Should I report this in Home / Xen Orchestra / Backup ?
