    • RE: XCP-ng 8.2 updates announcements and testing

      @gduperrey I jumped in all the way by mistake... I updated a wrong host, so I just did them all. Older AMD, Intel E3/E5, NUC11, etc. So far, so good. Add/migrate/backup/etc VMs are working as usual. Good for guest tools too, but mine are mostly Debian 7-11. Stuff is as usual so far.

    • RE: Can I just say thanks?

      I agree and I'll say it again, Thanks! It's not just Linux/Xen stuff. It is XCP-ng and XO that make everything work as a cohesive vertical open-source solution (some nice buzz words). Thanks to the Vates team and community that have built and support it. I look forward to ongoing continuous improvement and innovation!

    • RE: XCP-ng 8.2 updates announcements and testing

      @bleader Updates running on several old and new intel machines (including microcode update). Working fine so far. Rolling Pool Reboot is a helpful feature.

      @bleader I installed it on a bunch of busy hosts. All are fine, but none used PCI passthrough. The Rolling Pool Reboot in XO was very helpful.

    • RE: Windows 2025 Standard 24H2.11 (iso release of sept 25) crash on reboot with "INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE 0x7B" in XCP 8.2.1 and XCP 8.3

      @dinhngtu On a quick test, the ISO boots and installs. When the VM boots from the HD it crashes (and on reboots).

      Updating XCP 8.3 with qemu-4.2.1-5.2.12.2~fixvwc1.1.xcpng8.3.x86_64 solves the issue and the installed windows image boots correctly without any additional changes.

    • RE: "Block migraton" option on the VM´s Advanced tab

      @abudef @olivierlambert @thomas-dkmt I agree. I read block the same way... how about disable or prevent. (French? empêcher)

    • RE: Xen Orchestra Node 24 compatibility

      @MajorP93 I'm running with Node v24.11.0 now (on Debian 11 and 12). There have been some issues with older versions of 24, but to seems fine at this time.

      @joeymorin I use @ronivay XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater script to help build my XO setups. It keeps the last three successful builds and has a rollback option.

    • RE: What to do about Realtek RTL8125 RTL8126 RTL8127 drivers

      I have updated the drivers for the Realtek RTL812x 2.5/5/10G cards. So far they are working correctly. There are a few minor issues that Realtek needs to fix (for the next version, they say). Also the new Realtek firmware has not been added to XCP (but it's not required).

      The standard included 8125 driver for XCP 8.3 is not updated. To use the new driver install the new alt version of the 8125 driver. To support the 8126 install the required 8125 alt version first and then the new 8126 driver.

      The 8127 driver is also available for the new 10GB chips (I just got a production PCIe card for testing). The first issue I see with this card is, it is only a PCIe x1 card, so for full performance you need PCIe 4.0... There are other 8127 chips that support x2 so they will better support PCIe 3.0.

      Realtek will keep releasing new versions of the chips that will require updates to the drivers to function correctly. Even current versions of Linux needs updates to support the newer chips.

      @stormi Pool source SR is NFS. Destination has local EXT4. It's only around 70 VMs.

    • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

      @stormi After pool update, XO Continuous Replication times dropped by 50%. Before, the hourly CR took about 14-15 minutes, after the update it takes about 7-8 minutes now. Most of the CR time is spent on setup of the VM for transfer, not the actual data transfer bandwidth. Normal delta backup times did not change (data transfer limited). No change/update in XO/hardware/network, just this XCP update.

      @dinhngtu Correct! I was in /etc/ which has a default directory.
