Yeah.. this definitely was a nightmare, I am taking a few days off after this

Hi,
I stumbled across exactly the same issue that GPU and USB pcie cards would crash the VM if passed through together. It was already mentioned in an earlier reply that updating would fix the issue, and I just wanted to confirm that works for me as well. After running the following commands on my xcp-ng 8.2:

yum update
yum upgrade

everything works nicely now! Thanks!

TeddyAstie Thanks. Unfortunately my machine doesnt have IPMI. So can I just connect a serial cable between this machine and another machine and monitor the serial output on that other, say windows, machine running putty? Anything special to consider? I never did this before but happy to read up if you maybe have any pointers.

nvs Machine crashed/restarted itself again this morning. I didn't even have all of the usual VMs running this time. Nothing was logged in kern.log when it crashed again. Before it crashed I checked a few times in the hours before xl dmesg but nothing obvious to me (same log as I posted above). Any suggestions highly welcome as I'm sure how to proceed with troubleshooting this. My next step would be replacing the PSU and see if anything changes, but its a long shot.

TeddyAstie I've run /opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline --set-xen "dom0-iommu=strict" and rebooted after.
Then I ran xl dmesg (with almost no VMs running yet) and that results in the following output:

Anything interesting in this log that could be a hint? I guess the next step is to launch all my normal VMs again and try and catch any error messages just before the machine crashes? I couldn't figure out still how to constantly monitor in realtime any new messages for the xl dmesg command. My idea was to try that and keep a SSH terminal open such that when the machine crashes/reboots unexpectedly we can see any last error messages that might have popped up. Any pointers on next steps/what else to check would be much appreciated. Thanks.

TeddyAstie Thanks. I've run that command. Do you want me to reboot after? Do I need to set this command after each reboot again or does it stick? I can post the output here or is there anything particular I should be looking out for?

Side question, any chance to tail -f xl dmesg to see real time output? That would allow me to see any last messages before it crashes potentially.

It's been a while but these reboots continue to happen. Last week I had two in just two days time. I ran Memtest86+ on that machine now as you suggested olivierlambert, but that passed without errors. CPU temp during this test seems to have hit 82deg C. Not sure thats something to potentially worry about in normal server operations that could result in a reboot?

Any other ideas what this could be? Is pretty tricky to troubleshoot without any error logs.

Regarding memory test: Just running the normal mem test from Grub should do, I guess?

stormi Thanks. I've gone through the kern.log.1/2/3 etc and I can see when the server seems to have rebooted and comes back up again, but there doesnt seem to be anything logged just before it quits.

olivierlambert I looked through the xensource.log.1/2/3 etc files.

What sticks out to me is that there is a gap here:

xensource.log.2's last four lines:
Nov 19 16:43:27 xcp-ng xapi: [debug||3064510 /var/lib/xcp/xapi||dummytaskhelper] task dispatch:SR.scan D:*** created by task D:***
Nov 19 16:43:27 xcp-ng xapi: [ info||3064512 /var/lib/xcp/xapi||taskhelper] task SR.scan R:*** (uuid:***) created (trackid=***) by task D:***

Then the next four lines are in a new xensource.log.1 file, but notice a 49 minute gap until then:

xensource.log.1's first four lines:
Nov 19 17:40:08 xcp-ng xenopsd-xc: [debug||5 ||xenops_server] Received an event on managed VM ***
Nov 19 17:40:08 xcp-ng xcp-rrdd: [ info||9 ||rrdd_main] memfree has changed to 4191660 in domain 9

Nov 19 17:40:08 xcp-ng xenopsd-xc: [debug||40 ||xenops_server] Queue.pop returned ["VM_check_state","***"]

I've redacted some UUID's with ***, probably wasn't needed but just in case.

From the earlier graphs I expected to not see any log here (assuming the machine was off or whatever), but it seems it was actually running most of the time. The above 49min gap seems to be the only longer gap I can spot at first sight in the last days log. Strange because in XOA the graph shows as if the host was down for like 23h or so. Any thoughts?

olivierlambert Hi, do you have some pointers which exact files to check for those?

I've looked at:

• /var/log/xensource.log, but that log seems to have started earlier today. I don't see entries back to when the reboots happened.
• Regarding IPMI logs: This machine is a Ryzen 9 5950X on a Asus Prime X570 Pro motherboard. It doesn't have IPMI unfortunately.

I will look into doing a memtest as you suggested.

I took a look at the performance graphs in XOA and the two reboots can clearly be seen. What looks interesting to me is that the server seems to have stayed offline for quite a while (when there are no data points in the graph) ? And only then came back up. Also after the 2nd reboot there seems to be a high load average, even though only one VM is on auto-start (xen orchestra) and no other VMs were started yet.

Anyone who can make something of this? It seems weird to me that whatever induces a reboot of the system would not bring it up directly again, but in fact have varying durations until XCP-NG+XOA is back up, according to the graphs. Based on this, it seems after 1st reboot it was down for ~3h. After 2nd reboot it was down for about ~23h.

Also note:

• This server was running stable in this exact configuration for almost 2 years now.
• I have two other pretty much identical servers that do not have this issue (same rack, same power source)
