RE: 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: 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.

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@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: Xen 4.17 on XCP-ng 8.3!
@stormi Thanks! 4.17 Installed and running on a NUC10. Things seem to be working, but it's just a test... And for everyone who will ask... No, Windows Hyper-V server does not work (as expected).

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@stormi New update version
edk2-20220801-1.7.3.xcpng8.3.x86_64
fixed my FreeBSD UEFI boot problem (stuck on boot countdown). XCP reboot NOT required after install. Windows 10 and Ubuntu boot correctly also (but did before too). I did not test secure boot or bitlocker. -
RE: Updates announcements and testing
@gduperrey XO (current source) rolling pool update did its job.

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@gduperrey So far, so good with normal operations.... I'm not affected by the issues but updated everything anyway (15 hosts). Intel Xeon, E5, Core 7th/10th/11th, AMD Opteron, AMD Zen3...

RE: Veeam and XCP-ng
@jbamford Why use Veeam? Because Veeam is an industry standard and certified for use in many GxP businesses. It offers agentless VM backups with existing VMware. It also offers agents for windows backups for standalone workstations (that XO does not). Veeam also supports tapes (LTO). Yes, tapes are still a thing. Like VMware, it's the 900 pound gorilla in the room, so you can't ignore it.
I use XO for backups on XCP (on-site and off-site storage). It's great to have an integrated management and backup solution in one setup.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@Anonabhar I don't think so as the ConnectX-3 is supported only in the older 4.9 drivers and not the newer versions (5.0 or 5.9 or newer). As all of these cards are old and EOL, it would be good to have the latest/last firmware installed anyway.
-
RE: "Management agent not detected" and "No Xen tools detected"
@DustinB Did you install just the drivers? You need to install the Management Agent too. Download and run "XenServer VM Tools for Windows 9.3.2" form the xenserver downloads page.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@ravenet I did not have any problems with my Mellanox Connect-4 Lx card during upgrades from 8.2.1 (5.0 driver), to 8.3 (5.4 driver), then update to current 8.3 (5.9 driver), and then update to Xen 4.17.3. My card has the 14.32.1010 firmware. It is not used for the management interface. It is used by VMs and continued to keep the same ethernet name and function for the VMs.

RE: XO From Github : drop connection to host - unknown pool
@mestafin Don't use Node version 20..... You need to use Node version 18.

RE: Xen 4.17 on XCP-ng 8.3!
@stormi Never mind....
yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-lab
is working now on that system... -
RE: Xen 4.17 on XCP-ng 8.3!
@stormi I already installed 4.17 before, now doing today's update
yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-lab
wants to install from both lab and base, but they conflict because yum picks base. This happens for all of the updated lab packages, not just one in the example:---> Package forkexecd.x86_64 0:23.31.0-1.1.0.xen417.2.xcpng8.3 will be updated ---> Package forkexecd.x86_64 0:23.31.0-1.5.xcpng8.3 will be an update Updating: forkexecd x86_64 23.31.0-1.5.xcpng8.3 xcp-ng-base 1.7 M
