    • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 VM Checkpoints (Snapshots w/ Memory) for AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX

      @olivierlambert Thanks, our first set of Windows VMs, didn't realize it was required.
      *doh, thanks so much for the sanity check!!

      Slightly divergent topic, XO correctly wouldn't let me take a "Snapshot with Memory" (VM Lacks Feature) when running but when I paused the VM, it let me take a "Snapshot with Memory" without any error messages (but obviously it didn't have memory when trying to revert it, so basically no UI confirmation/acknowledge of my mistake). That led to my initial confusion. I can submit screenshots of that behavior if interested.

      Thanks!!

    • XCP-ng 8.3 VM Checkpoints (Snapshots w/ Memory) for AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX

      Hello,
      I'm receiving the following problem:

      # xe vm-suspend vm=Win-Test
      You attempted an operation on a VM which lacks the feature.
      
      vm: 611c6a3f-1d8f-c9b6-052d-b148ad0313d4 (Win-Test)
      
      # xe vm-checkpoint vm=611c6a3f-1d8f-c9b6-052d-b148ad0313d4 new-name-label=test
      
      You attempted an operation on a VM which lacks the feature.
      
      vm: 611c6a3f-1d8f-c9b6-052d-b148ad0313d4 (Win-Test)
      

      Here is some CPU info:

      Is there a patch coming to make this work in the future? Or is there some strange hardware issue that allows the hypervisor to pause a VM in memory but it can't read the memory after to do snapshots with memory / checkpoints / suspend operations. Or maybe I'm grossly over-simplifying what's happening under the hood.

      Thanks!!
