@stormi yes, this is after a reboot.

Thank you! I think I got it working. Previously had version 9.009. Now:

So far my R8125 is still working.

Also my Dell Optiplex 5040 does have a I219-V. It did work out of the box without issues with a iso downloaded last week. Does the alt driver add any additional features/functionality?

I can test the r8125 driver, but I already use the @Andrew drivers from his pre-renamed ISO. What do I need to do to “uninstall” his and switch to the testing?

@killbox add an equal sign.

# /opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline --set-dom0 "xen-pciback.hide=(0000:03:00.0)(0000:03:00.1)" 

I have a minor feature request…
Can we get the xen-cmdline (/opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline) added to the default PATH? I don’t use it too often but having it would save me a google remembering? I’ve also added to my bashrc with the name xcl.

@Louis
XCP-ng gets security updates about monthly. @Andrew also has custom isos that already have the 2.5GBe drivers included.

XCP-ng/XO are well maintained projects.

Now that I've gotten more serious with my XCP-ng setup, I'm trying to do my UPS system in a better way. Also, I haven't bought new UPSs. The ones I have, they're basic consumer and the batteries are EOL.

So I was thinking about getting an APC tower unit. Then using something like APCUPSD or NUT to control it. I've heard about installing it on the dom0, but is that the "correct" way? I'm not really a fan of installing packages on the dom0.

I feel like I could also use the XAPI to issue shutdown commands. Or have each guest respond with NUT/APCUPSD.

How do I manage UPSs and XCP-ng.

@Andrew said in XCP-ng 8.3 public alpha :

I think 8.3 has gone a little crazy with the purple theme... but that's not a functional issue.

I wasn’t going to say it myself but I agree. Personally it doesn’t matter as long as it works… but it’s a LOT of purple.

In this post, @lawrencesystems described having 6GB RAM and 16 CPUs assigned to the Xen Orchestra host.

Right now my XO instance controls 1 host with 2CPU/2 GB RAM. As my cluster grows, how should I scale it?
