    • RE: XCP-NG server crashes/reboots unexpectedly

      @nvs Hi there, we had a similar issue with on our 5900x boxes. We have about a twenty of these and they have been generally greats hosts for xcp loads. However, one of them was constantly rebooting. While testing the ram the temp jumped to 90/90. They are running in 1U boxes so I expect heat but this seemed silly. We ramped the fans to max but this did not help.
      We then used bios to drop down various cpu boost profiles and gadgets to lower the heat and re-applied paste to cpu..

      so far so good.

    • RE: Migrating an offline VM disk between two local SRs is slow

      I think I am seeing a similar issue. Raid1 NVME copy to raid 10 4x2tb HDD on same host

      a 300gb transfer is estimated at 7 hours. (11% done in 50 mins)

      the vm is live.

      according to the stats almost nothing is happening on this server or the 2 storage

    • RE: Booting to Dracut (I trusted ChatGPT)

      I know this is old but I had a similar issue. In the end I told dracut NOT to reassemble my raid array which allowed the system to boot perfectly after. I have no idea why it tries to assemble the same array two but on the second seems to be important

    • RE: "NOT_SUPPORTED_DURING_UPGRADE()" error after yesterday's update

      @olivierlambert said in "NOT_SUPPORTED_DURING_UPGRADE()" error after yesterday's update:

      Because doing an update without rebooting doesn't reload the updated main programs, like XAPI. A host in only updated after a full reboot.

      Reply

      Hi there
      Is it just me or is this a chicken and egg situation.

      you upgrade the master... how the pool is in NOT_SUPPORTED_DURING_UPGRADE() stage. You cant move vms off the master so all you can do is close down vms.. reboot.. pray

      then move the a non master.. you cant move the vms off here either NOT_SUPPORTED_DURING_UPGRADE(). So you have do the same..

      needless to say I hit issues on each reboot which caused 30- 60 min delays in getting vms back up and running.

      can you Warm migrate or is this dead also (to scared to test)

    • RE: Migrating an offline VM disk between two local SRs is slow

      @Davidj-0 in my case there CPU activity is minimal. I think something is wrong with the software raid 10 setup. On an identical setup warm migration between to the raid 10 array between hosts is showing horrible iowait similar to the sr to sr transfer on the other host

    • garbled console text

      Hi there

      I am steadily migrating VMs from exsi to xcp-ng.

      I am using clonezilla destination to source and it could not be easer or quicker. So far so good.

      However, I also migrated bare metal server (ubuntu 18). Initially on reboot the vm just showed a Hard disk found message.. so i switched from bios to uefi and it booted immediately. However, the console text is unreadable.

      I have seen a few discussions around this related to the template settings. I have tested ubuntu 18 and 20 template but both have the same effect.

      I cant edit any pre-boot options as nothing can be read..

      The VM is running just fine.. but one day I am going to need to use that console. ..

      Any ideas?

      @Gheppy Yes.. putting that in place seemed to fix DR.. but not CR.
