Installed on my usual hosts without issues. I am only making limited use of QCOW2 however.

@semarie If that's the case then the update will likely go smoothly once its released to the stable repos and users use Xen Orchestra to run a rolling pool update which follows that workflow. Since this was a test pool and using the test repos i ran the update via yum without evacuating the host first.

@semarie In my case the pool i tested these updates on was a 2 host pool, i patched each host using yum and then kicked off a rolling pool reboot. So the VMs would have been resident on the pool master since it is the first rebooted when running a rolling pool reboot. I was unable to manually migrate the VMs resident on this host as well, attempting to do so would show the same error.

In my case though restarting the tool stack on both hosts allowed migrations to complete and a rolling pool reboot to run successfully.

Installed on my usual test hosts. Stand alone hosts all rebooted fine.

My test pool of 2 servers failed to rolling pool reboot until i restarted the tool stack on both hosts. Error log is attached.

@bleader I am running into the same issue on a pair of Lenovo SR630 V4s with Intel Xeon 6530P CPUs

[08:23 xcpng-dr-2 ~]# xenpm get-cpufreq-para
[CPU0] failed to get cpufreq parameter

Playing with different workload profiles in the bios but so far the server seems to pretty aggressively clock itself down even while CPU intensive tasks like backups are running. I am of course not able to run something like xenpm set-scaling-governor performance either.

EDIT: The solution here is to get "Power/Performance Bias:" to OS Controlled in the servers BIOS. This restores functionality.

Running it now shows no error! And no output so looks like i have no issues!

Thanks

I ran that second script on the master and it did indeed find entries:

However i am still getting the same error when trying to run leaked_vbs:

./leaked_vbds

@rzr

Is there something specific needed for the leaked_vbds script?

When i run it i get:

[09:37 xcpng-prd-01 ~]# ./leaked_vbds

No issues to report so far.

No issues on the same test hosts i used for the last 2 batches of updates.

Installed on my usual test hosts. No issues so far.

Installed on my usual hosts, one of which has an E810 and used the ICE driver, no issues so far however i am not using LACP bonding on that host.

Installed on my usual batch of test hosts, no issues so far.

Installed on my usual batch of test hosts, so far so good.

@Andrew I have experienced this twice so far as well.

@stormi Updates deployed, no issues so far.

Updates deployed, no issues so far.

Installed on my usual test hosts without issues. However i am not using the qcow2 disk format anywhere yet

@florent I am using NBD for all backups yes but am not purging snapshots/usnig CBT.

Its so rare in fact that i haven't had it happen since since i made this post last week. (When i had it happen twice in 2 days). This is our production XOA it has occurred on so i wont be able to test a branch and i have never seen it happen on my sources install at home.

Installed on a handful of test machines. Not as many as usual as im being very cautious with this one for now. Everything rebooted and VMs started ok after. Using VHD for everything currently.
