"Xenserver 8" patching

[RS]

@infecticide I have same problem, XO works fine with Citrix hypervisor but not with new Xen 8

[RS]

@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"

[Danp]

@RS I believe that our developers are looking into this.

[RS]

Do you have any idea when it will be supported?

Hi!

It might be out this month

[RS]

@olivierlambert Greate!

[olivierlambert]

For reference, the PR is here: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/8183

[RS]

@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)

[RS]

@MathieuRA Hi yes, I can test it

[RS]

@MathieuRA How to apply patch "fix-xs-8-patches" is it public?

[olivierlambert]

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

[RS]

@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?

[olivierlambert]

That's a question for @MathieuRA I'm not a XO developer myself

[MathieuRA]

@rs Yes, this is normal. I am still working on making the installation possible via XO.

[RS]

@MathieuRA ok, thanks

[MathieuRA]

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

[RS]

@MathieuRA I apply latest update but I still see dialog > "Not yet available for XenServer8"

[MathieuRA]

@RS if you are using XO from source, you need to change your branch and rebuild XO

[RS]

@MathieuRA I changed branch and I tried install patches - without any problem - all works
