XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing
-
One thing I noticed was manually copying a qcow2 disk to an sr, with a properly generated UUID, would lock up the sr from scanning disks and updating its inventory db.
Running VMs seemed fine.Deleting that manually copied disk from sr released the lock.

We just published most of the updates tested above, plus embargoed security fixes:
https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2026/04/28/april-2026-security-and-maintenance-updates-for-xcp-ng-8-3-lts/
The release of the QCOW2 image format feature (packages
sm,sm-fairlockandblktap) is planned in the coming days. You can still update a system which has these test packages with the security updates published today.Thanks everyone for the tests!

@stormi Updated 2 pools @office but on both RPU failed after updating master and emptying secondary host. Had to install patches manually and then move VM's back......
-
Well I just ran rolling pool update on my 2 host home lab. I wanted to watch to make sure there were no issues. Of coarse I got distracted. Only to come back and find both host updated and running. Will continue to monitor.

Updates deployed, no issues so far.

@stormi Did not check logs but if you tell me what to look for I can.
In config-logs on XOA there is nothing relevant. -
I updated both my test and production XCP-ng environments.
No issues during updates on all 6 hosts.
-
@MajorP93 Pls note that the updates had no issues. Just the RPU did not complete. 2 different things.....
-
@manilx It's absolutely clear to me that the method of installing updates and the changes provided by the updated packages are 2 different things.
I was not commenting on your message but rather sharing my own experience with this round of patches as this thread is generally related to XCP-ng patches. -
@MajorP93 As you replied to my message and not to stormi.... Just wanted to clear up any misunderstanding.
