I'm excited about the 8.3 production release. With that said, I joined XCP-ng with the 8.3 release, and it has been rock solid. I mean, there has been a few bugs, but nothing impacting the stability.
I also faced problems with controlling power-state of my VMs (reboot) yesterday, but after installing the latest patches to my host (through XO), and rebooted the host, things worked again, as expected.
@stormi said in XCP-ng 8.3 betas and RCs feedback :
Reboot after update
...
Question : What's the "upgrade path" for us starting on 8.3 alpha. Is it just a question about updating the system, and nothing else?
Or, should I plan some kind of operation, so I can "switch" to a stable 8.3 release at some time? Like switching from unstable to a stable branch in Manjaro. Maybe it should make sense to include something about that, in a upcoming final release for 8.3. I bet other people with a r8125
NIC also jumped directly on 8.3 alpha, due to the build-in support for that NIC.
Just a notice for the "newbies" like myself :
Remember to update your Xen Orchestra from time to time. I can't really explain why, but I've not thought about that at all. So yesterday I updated from a march 2023 commit, to the most recent one. Not much was changed, but I guess some kind of incompatibilities could be expected, after more than one year without a single update of Xen Orchestra .
