yum update bugtool-conn-tests kernel xcp-ng-release xcp-ng-release-config xcp-ng-release-presets xcp-python-libs xen-dom0-libs xen-dom0-tools xen-hypervisor xen-libs xen-tools xenserver-status-report --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
Updated both host in the pool (xcp-ng 8.2 fully patched), did my usual stuff and found no anomalities.
Looking good for me!
@stormi installed this new kernel as well and rebooted.
Still no regression issues found till now.
@stormi said in Updates announcements and testing:
Have a installation without any of the fixed bugs, but Installed the updates on my system and did the toolstack restart.
No issues to report this far.
@stormi
I did not test the updates in the test-repository this time because I wanted to test the Rolling Pool Update function from XO. I recently created a pool of 2 hosts.
I noticed the patches were available according to XO on the recently installed host, but not on the host I am using already for a longer time (and used to install the test-patches before). This host is also the pool master.
Only after a yum clean all and a yum update the updates were visible on the first host and thus the pool.
After fixing that, the Rolling Pool Update went very smooth. I like this feature!
Update done, rebooting went well, will start to monitor for anomalities.
No news after this message means good news

@stormi
I just installed the updates and have not had any issues this far, will have an eye on the systemfor the next few days and report back if I notice something different.
PS you must add --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing to the yum update command, otherwise it will not install the new packages from the test repo 
@stormi said in Updates announcements and testing:
@heman You're right, I had forgotten an
--enablereposwitch in my post. I edited it to add it.
I am not at my best today I noticed, I should have seen that
Anyway, installed without issue. No strange behaviour afterwards
Updated xcp-ng 8.1 fully patched (Dell R710, dual L5640, 92GB).
no regression to report (but I am not using Xendesktop, SDN, and my dhcp already contains hostname)
@thenorthernlight
ok, that was what solved it for me; adding a pif with an ip in the storage and/or management network to the xo vm.
Is the management interface you use for xcp-ng itself also on the same management network?
probably a separate storage network you xo is not connected to?
do you use a separate storage or management network?
had the same issue and fixed it by adding the extra network. don't know exactly which one it was, but had to add it to the xo vm and after that hanging tasks were gone after a restart of the vm
Just updated XO from the sources, after I also updated last week and had a few errors (saw a thread about this where the errors were fixed, so did not report).
I am using the Jarli script to update.
Previous version of XOCE before update (which had errors):
Current version 5.83.0 / 5.89.0
Current commit 1f1ae759e031a7747463416544230076e11d81bc 2021-11-27 10:10:19 +0100
Curent version of XOCE after update:
Updated version 5.84.1 / 5.90.0
Updated commit 470a9b3e272414a84ad61f761723d6feb9de75df 2021-12-02 21:37:21 +0100
During this update the errors I had before are gone, great job done there!
However I do see some warnings, so took she time to report them here

@elementalwindx it is rather off topic for this thread, but if you are using a storage repository that is located on a network share (e.g. nfs or samba) that is used by both hosts you have shared storage.
if that network storage is located in a separated subnet in your network and you have a separate (virtual) nic assigned to that subnet in your hosts/vms, you have a separated storage network 
if you want to know more about storage you better open a separate topic, there are quite a few more people here that are a lot more knowledgeable then I am
@stormi installed this new kernel as well and rebooted.
Still no regression issues found till now.
@stormi
I just installed the updates and have not had any issues this far, will have an eye on the systemfor the next few days and report back if I notice something different.
PS you must add --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing to the yum update command, otherwise it will not install the new packages from the test repo
@elementalwindx do you have a separate (v)lan for storage and/or migration network? if yes, is it using dhcp?
@danp
I think you are all 3 right.
Stats were working before I did an update last week. So we're my backups (more later).
First I received an error my backups to my nas failed. Error was it could not connect to my nas ip:443.
my nas is on my storage vlan and indeed not accessible from my xoce vm.
I also noticed that the weekly report e-mail was missing all kind of stats.
I finally fixed the backup issue by adding a third nic for the storage vlan (beside my mgmt vlan and regular data untagged lan).
My migration network is also set to the storage vlan.
I looked at the statistics today and now they are also present again.
adding the vif for the storage/migration network fixed that as well without me knowing I did
thank for your help and insights 
Edit: and after clearing the rrd-updates tasks by restarting the toolstack, they were also gone and did not come back (what was this topic about )
@olivierlambert
my main language is dutch, but that is not in the list
English is also working pretty well for me.
I know a very little bit of french (2 years in high school, many years ago) but not enough to work with an application in that language. All other languages I can't speak or read.
is it possible to add an option to set the date & time display preferences?
or an English language option with 24 hour format?
