      Hello,
      Are the XCP Guest tool drivers supported on RHEL 9? I am having a challenge getting them installed. Installation of the guest tools provided by XCP-ng completes but the drivers are still shown as not configured. I have tried on several vms running RHEL9 and all behave the same. Hypervisor version is XCP-ng 8.2.1

        @Denson You can mount from the CD in Xen Orchestra on the Console tab or install from the EPEL repo. (I always install from EPEL)

        EPEL install:
        dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm -y

        Tool install:
        dnf install xe-guest-utilities-latest -y
        Be sure to enable and start after installing: systemctl enable --now xe-linux-distribution

              Using EPEL's package is fine, but the tools provided by XCP-ng should work too. Was your pool fully up to date when you tested?

                @stormi It was a fresh install of 8.2.1. No updates had been applied.

                  Then I would try again after installing all updates.
