    • 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!

      @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.

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

    • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

      @lmolina @olivierlambert Sorry, but this update got ugly fast. CR backups got stuck. Migrations got stuck. VMs would not start any more. After reverting all the patches and rebooting all hosts I had several VMs that would not start again (including primary XO) because the VDIs stuck marked as activating. It took some time to fix them but at least there was no data loss. Some backups lost their snapshots and had to revert to full backups again.

    • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

      @lmolina Updates ran fine, but I'm having CR backup problems too... Mostly ran fine, but I now have 3 stuck with VBD.unplug_force. I can't get them to clear. I'll have to try harder before I revert updates.
