You could at least send the backup reports (requires backup-reports
and transport-email
plugin on XOA) to a Microsoft Teams channel of your choice (Channel - More options - Get email adress).

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@gduperrey Updated my two host playlab without a problem. Installed and/or update guest tools (now reporting
7.30.0-11
) on some mainstream Linux distros worked as well as the usual VM operations in the pool. Looks good -
RE: Updates announcements and testing
@stormi Did not even know the problem existed
. Anyway, added a new (second) DNS server (9.9.9.9) to the DNS server list via
xsconsole
and rebooted the host (XCP-ng 8.2.0 fully patched).Before update: DNS 9.9.9.9 did not persist, only the previous settings are shown
After update: DNS 9.9.9.9 did persist the reboot and is listed together with the previous settingsDeleting DNS 9.9.9.9 worked as well, so the
xsconsole
update worked for me. -
RE: Updates announcements and testing
@stormi Updated my two host playlab (8.2.0 fully patched, the third host currently serves as a Covid-19 homeoffice workstation) with no error. Rebooted and ran the usual tests (create, live migrate, copy and delete a linux and a windows 10 VM as well as create / revert snapshot (with/without ram) ). Fooled myself with a
VM_LACKS_FEATURE
error on the windows 10 VM until I realized that I forgot to install the Guest tools- I need more sleep. Will try a restore after tonights backup.
Edit: restore from backup worked as well

Updated my playlab and nothing to report. Looks good.

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@gduperrey Rolling update of my homelab through Xen Orchestra worked flawlessly. Thanks!

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@gduperrey Updated my playlab and did some basic tests (create, copy, snapshot, (life-) migrate VMs and disks). Looking good so far.

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@gduperrey Update installed successfully on my 2 host playlab with shared NFS TrueNAS Core storage on a 10G network. Let's see how VM usage works during the next days.

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@stormi Again more a regression test for the basic things. Tested Debian and Ubuntu VMs (create, live migrate with/-out guest tools (now at 7.20.0-9), start/stop/reboot, snapshot with/-out RAM and revert, storage migrate from/to shared and local SR). Imported Centos and Ubuntu VMs and restored a Windows 10 and a Debian VM from backup. No issues so far. Nice work.

RE: Updates announcements and testing
@stormi Did the update on my two host playlab, which worked well. Do not use secureboot/UEFI or QNAP, so this is more a regression test for the usual stuff. I tested Debian, Centos and Ubuntu VMs (create, live migrate with/-out guest tools (now at 7.20.0-8), start/stop/reboot, snapshot with/-out RAM and revert, storage migrate from/to shared and local SR) and restored a Windows 10 and a Debian VM from backup. As for now, everthing is working. I will see how backup runs tonight.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 public alpha 🚀
@stormi My first HP Elitedesk 600 G6 Mini arrived (i5-10500T, 6 cores, 12 threads, 2.3 GHz base clock, 64GB RAM, 256GB NVME) and XCP-ng 8.3 alpha installed and updated right away (but I have the efi: EFI_MEMMAP not enabled message with a boot delay).
The XTF test on this non-enterprise hardware returns
[M01]# ./xtf-runner selftest -q --host Combined test results: test-hvm32-selftest SUCCESS test-hvm32pae-selftest SUCCESS test-hvm32pse-selftest SUCCESS test-hvm64-selftest SUCCESS test-pv64-selftest SUCCESS
and
[M01]# ./xtf-runner -aqq --host Combined test results: test-hvm32-umip SKIP test-hvm64-umip SKIP test-pv64-xsa-167 SKIP test-pv64-xsa-182 SKIP [M01]# echo $? 3 [M01]#
Have not done anything else with this unit yet.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 public alpha 🚀
@stormi I am afraid my playlab host (Dell Optiplex 9010, Intel i5-3550 CPU) is to old to contribute to the XCP-ng 8.3 alpha testing, but I run the XTF test with this results:
[h01]# ./xtf-runner selftest -q --host Combined test results: test-hvm32-selftest SUCCESS test-hvm32pae-selftest SUCCESS test-hvm32pse-selftest SUCCESS test-hvm64-selftest SUCCESS test-pv64-selftest SUCCESS
followed by
[h01]# ./xtf-runner -aqq --host Combined test results: test-hvm32-umip SKIP test-hvm64-umip SKIP test-pv64-xsa-167 SKIP test-pv64-xsa-182 SKIP [h01]# echo $? 3 [h01]#
I have some HP Elitedesk 600 G6 mini coming in to test as a small virtualization lab (i5-10500T, 6 cores, 12 threads, 2.3 GHz base clock, 64GB RAM). Not the target infrastructure but will add to the range of hardware.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 public alpha 🚀
@stormi Both host of my playlab are happy with the 73 patches applied by
yum update
andreboot
. I assume that a rolling updated with XO would have worked as well

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 public alpha 🚀
@stormi Finally updated my two host playlab from 8.2.0 fully patched to 8.3.0-alpha2 using the ISO method followed by installing available patches using XO from source.
As boring as it is, I have nothing to report other than that the update of my low-tech hosts has worked (Dell Optiplex 9010, Intel i5-3550 CPU, 32GB RAM, Intel S3700 100GB SSD for boot, Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD for local SR, Intel X520-DA1 10G). You wouldn't believe it, but sometimes boring is good
.
I'll report back if anything comes up in day-to-day operations

RE: XO from source - Pool support not available for source users?
@Danp Thank you for bringing that discussion back to my mind. Read about it in the Xen Orchestra 5.76 release blog too. I just hope the icon becomes a little more inconspicuous

XO from source - Pool support not available for source users?
I just came accross this new (to me) symbol in the pool view, but can not find any information on what it means. Which functionality is not available?
- XO from third party script
- commit be623
- xo-server 5.105.0
- xo-web 5.106.0)

RE: FYI - Applying 11/3/2022 and 11/4/2022 Commits in XO from Sources
@Danp Same here. Have been running XO from script with 4GB since I ran into problems I think a year ago. No problems since than
