XCP-ng 8.3 betas and RCs feedback 🚀
-
@stormi If it's the exact same thing just with a different version number I can wait for a future update. I already have the -12 RPM in my yum repo for automatic install on all VMs.
I was looking to see if there was any notable changes from what we already had as well to see if an icon for AlmaLinux would show up in the home -> VMs list (everything else has an icon showing the OS running on the VM, just poor Alma is left all alone at the display ball.)
-
@nomad There are two key players in this icon thing: the guest tools who report the OS name (this already works), and then Xen Orchestra matching this to an icon. In Xen Orchestra 5, the icon set is not easy to expand, so the developers said this would be done in XO 6.
-
@stormi I'm glad to know I was slightly right about some of the way it works anyway.

Just to give some short feedback about upgrade from 8.3 beta to 8.3rc2 via ISO:
- Pool master upgraded fine after selecting "Upgrade existing installation"
- 2nd host in pool asked for management network configuration after selecting "Upgrade existing installation", but after that everything upgraded fine
- Both host show "cloud" instead a build number after the upgrade
- Guest tools version number of/reseted to .2, but this is already discussed earlier
All in all very smooth upgrade and everything is running as before - great work from the Vates team !
-
@imaginapix The build number doesn't have any real signification for XCP-ng, in fact. We wanted to change it to a timestamps or something, but it was already late in the release process and even if we haven't found any reason to think changing the build number could break anything now, I decided to keep it as is just in case.
-
will xcp-ng 8.3 work with cloudstack?
-
@AlexanderK We don't test it, but they use XAPI and the API doesn't change that much, so it should. We contacted them last april and they said any necessary changes on CloudStack side should be done after the release.

when there was the update of 8.2.1 there have been many issues...
anyway...i think 8.3 is not an lts... so i will wait and check at a lab enviroments
Thanks for the reply! -
@AlexanderK Then maybe you can remind them of the past issues so that they look at XCP-ng 8.3 ahead of time (especially knowing that we are going to release very soon)

@Tristis-Oris said in XCP-ng 8.3 betas and RCs feedback :
yum install pcre2 --enablerepo=epel,base,sources
It is indeed missing. I must have missed something when I replicated the repository from CentOS vault.
Aaaaand... It's fixed now.
