XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing
-
Updated to testing. Now all the VM's I have boot into the uefi shell.
Something is broken with this update.
-
@ovicz Is Secure Boot enabled on these VMs?
-
@stormi on some yes on some no...I did enabled on one but no go.
They used to work before the update, no matter if secure boot was enabled or not. -
@stormi Installed on my usual test hosts probably an hour after your initial post and let them run thoughout the day (Intel Minisforum MS-01, and Supermicro running a Xeon E-2336 CPU). Also installed onto a 2 host AMD epyc pool. Updates went smooth, backups continue to function as before.
A couple of windows VMs had secure boot enabled on our test pool. After the initial reboot i ran " secureboot-certs clear" on the pool master, then In XOA i clicked "Copy pool's default UEFI certificates to the VM" after that. The VMs continued to reboot without issue after. Strange to see someone else having issues with VMs not booting.
-
@flakpyro I did what you said about clearing certs and reinstall them, still no go.
-
@ovicz No UEFI mapping displayed in the shell suggests that the VM couldn't detect its disks. Is your SR doing OK?
-
@dinhngtu [11:31 xcp-ng-akz ~]# zpool status
pool: ZFS_Pool
state: ONLINE
config:NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM ZFS_Pool ONLINE 0 0 0 sda ONLINE 0 0 0errors: No known data errors
I guess so...
-
@ovicz How is your SR connected to the host, via NFS or something else?
-
@dinhngtu No. It's a local SSD mounted with the zfs pool. Everything worked before the update. I don't see other errors in the host.
-
-
@ovicz To confirm, you were using the ZFS integration documented here https://docs.xcp-ng.org/storage/#zfs right?
-
@dinhngtu Yes. Like I said, all was good before the update from testing. The host xcp-ng is on another drive and the zfs pool is on other ssd if that matters. The host is using ext4 partitions.

@ovicz I'd start by listing the VDIs on your SR to see if things are still there.

@ovicz How about
xe vdi-list sr-uuid=8e908932-0577-d6f0-3133-14d94a317b90? -
@dinhngtu no ouput from that command.
-
@ovicz Ok, I've contacted the storage team for a look.
-
@ovicz Can you share the
/var/log/SMlogfile from the master? It's quite strange considering that this driver is small and hasn't been modified. -
@ovicz I'd also like to have a look at
/var/log/daemon.logafter a failed VM startup attempt. -
i have applied updates to my 2 amd home lab hosts. Ryzen 7700x and 7950x amd x670e mobo's. No issues to report. Windows vm migrated between hosts no isssues. No issues with windows vm booting with uefi enabled prior to update.
