      @gduperrey I wonder why now I have to run those commands on my hosts each time for the updates to show:

      yum clean all
      rm -rf /var/cache/yum
      

      Not fun

              I'm doing the latest production level updates announced yesterday... My pool has never migrated VMs as fast as it is now.

              RollingPoolUpdate.png

              That was migrating several at a time, moving VMs back to "balanced" at the end is moving them at about half that speed one at a time. This is more than double what I was able to do with the same hardware on 8.2.1. It looks like it is actually capping at the maximum 10gbps speeds that the x710 cards and my switch can handle, that's never happened, not even on my lab which has been on v8.3 for over a year.

              (note to self, might be time to upgrade those x520 cards in the lab to x710)

              Next month's Windows updates might be interesting, hope this increase holds for that process too.

                  @gduperrey Can you explain why this is happening and how to get updates showing automatically again?

                    I can't explain it. I can't say what's going on on your system, especially with so little information.

                    Personally, I run the following commands all the time:

                    yum clean metadata ; yum update
                    

                    I very rarely need to use yum clean all, and I don't remember having to do an additional rm. And yet, I run the above commands a lot during testing campaigns.

                      OK, I'll try this next time.

                      P.S I've updated the 2 hosts via XO all teh time from 8.3 beta. Always showed patches available in XO. Started with the previous 8.3 updates that they didn't show and I had to run those commands.

                        @manilx We recently upgraded our Koji build system. This may have caused disruptions in this recent update release yesterday, where an XML file was generated multiple times. This has now been fixed and should not happen again. This may explain the issue encountered this time, particularly with the notification of updates via XO.

                        Note that normally yum metadata expires after a few hours and so it should normally return to normal on its own.
