"Xenserver 8" patching
-
I feel you @infecticide - We're 50/50 XCP-NG and VMware but since we're very memory hungry the per core licensing isn't really a big deal.
We'll pay less once we've finished our current migration to the new hardware (including licensing) that we're working on now.Whats your experience with Citrix Support?
I remember they always tried referring us to a "local partner" which billed us hourly, least to say that was it for us and we ditched Citrix Support and the paid version of XenServer. -
As far as I can tell, we get support directly from Citrix not 3rd parties.
I've been dealing with the same 3 or 4 folks in Xenserver and PVS support since I started at my company 10 years ago.
Citrix is one of the few vendors we have that we don't have much to complain about.
-
Happy you have a better experience with Citrix than we had, but in their favour that pushed us to Vates and we've been happy ever since
-
@infecticide I have same problem, XO works fine with Citrix hypervisor but not with new Xen 8
-
@Danp Is Xenserver 8 patching supported in XOA? Update is little different than before and config describe at https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/updater.html#xenserver-updates works only with "citrix hypervisor"
-
@RS I believe that our developers are looking into this.
-
Do you have any idea when it will be supported?
-
Hi!
It might be out this month
-
@olivierlambert Greate!
-
For reference, the PR is here: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/8183
-
@olivierlambert thanks
-
Hi @RS.
I just wanted to know if you can test this branch:fix-xs-8-patches.
It should fix the list of missing patches (not the RPU or other update function from XO) -
@MathieuRA Hi yes, I can test it
-
@MathieuRA How to apply patch "fix-xs-8-patches" is it public?
-
If you are using XO from the sources, you need to switch the branch. If you are on XOA, you need to wait a bit more for being available in our December release
-
@olivierlambert Now I see missing Xen8 updates, but cannot install them. Button "Install all patches" show dialog > Not yet available for XenServer8. Is it correct?
-
That's a question for @MathieuRA I'm not a XO developer myself
-
@rs Yes, this is normal. I am still working on making the installation possible via XO.
-
@MathieuRA ok, thanks
-
Hi @RS
Just to let you know, there is a branch available to test RPU/install patches with XenServer 8. (xs-8-install-updates)
Feel free to test and give feedback. Thanks
