Tested on Multiple systems. Ryzen 1700x andThreadripper 5975. fine so far

So far fine on an epyc 7002 and a xeon e5 v3

SLES 12.5 (usual warnings of sles12 xe-guest-utilities-xenstore conflicts with SUSE xen-tools)
IP addresses reporting : OK
Management agent detected : OK
Clean shutdown/reboot : OK

SLES 15.1 seems fine

OpenSUSE LEAP 15.2 - Failed to determine Linux distribution and version

@Andrew said in XCP-ng 8.3 beta :

@ravenet I did not have any problems with my Mellanox Connect-4 Lx card during upgrades from 8.2.1 (5.0 driver), to 8.3 (5.4 driver), then update to current 8.3 (5.9 driver), and then update to Xen 4.17.3. My card has the 14.32.1010 firmware. It is not used for the management interface. It is used by VMs and continued to keep the same ethernet name and function for the VMs.

Thanks for testing

I finally got around to updating the firmware on this Mellanox connectx-4 LX adapter. Bit of jumping through hoops to install tools, find proper firmware, but went from FW version14.18.1000 to New FW version: 14.32.1010. Had to do an emergency network reset again, but it's back.

Obviously an incompatibility with the new 5.9 driver with much older mellanox firmware.

@stormi No issues so far on Ryzen 1700x, Xeon e5-2640v3, and 2 Epyc 7313P systems

@gduperrey Seems fine here as well under basic usage.

@JustinTimperio I can test SLES for you, I'm a SUSE partner so have access. Here's output from a sles11.4,12.4, 12.5, 15 and 15.1. Sorry don't have a sles15.2 spun up (only leap15.2) but easy enough to extrapolate.
Best way to get stuff into their official distro is to have it build on OBS

I have a Radeon Pro W7500 working fine on Win11 vm, on xcp 8.3. Windows update even installed the pro series driver for me.
Asrock rack x470d4u, Ryzen 1700x.
I know it's older platform and agesa though. I may have access to a ryzen 7700x system for some testing next week.

@stormi
Updated ryzen 1700 late last week, and Threadripper 5975 and Epyc 7313p servers. No issues so far.
Installing fresh on epyc 9224 this week

Testing now on ryzen 1700.

I see movement in the github repo again. Good sign!

@olivierlambert @ronan-a Has there been any update on this development? I do see an update to master in org.xen.xapi.storage.raw-device from feb 2020. is it more safe to test now?

@parallax I'd assume so. You'd just have that combustion iso provided as a disk image with each to provide the initial setup. I've not looked at custom template creation in XO

Otherwise you'd be looking at pxe and tftp, or better, use opensuse build services with kiwiNG to customize your own appliance with preconfigured settings etc.

Provide combustion via an iso mounted. Idea behind combustion/ignition is a usb plugged in, or pass through a usb if you already created one.

follow instructions on building the combustion file, drop in a folder named combustion. use whatever tool you want to move this folder into an iso, and label the iso itself combustion. Basically same steps as creating the combustion usb.

You can script mount and umount commands as part of jobs or as part of backup jobs.
