      When you boot in UEFI mode, press "e" to edit the boot command line, you have a line to change the memory for dom0.

      From my admin-view: I wonder about the benefits of that (and if work shouldn't be put into other usefull things). If no monitoring is connected / some autonotify via E-Mail or such, to me it's rather useless. I don't really care since when a device is broken, when it already happened $somewhen ago - I need ASAP notify of it, when it happens. Like some health monitoring for XCP, however realized (via XenCenter, central Mail service, SNMP, Nagios/Montoring plugins...)

      This fixed the issue for a few migrations. The latest one put the VM into a suspended mode and then disconnected me from the host. I restarted the tool-stack on each host and when I went to reconnect to the host I was migrating the VM from it would let me in for a moment and then kick me out again and it was in a maintence mode according to the icon. To resolve this I rebooted the host. I'm currently seeing if I can replicate this behavior. Other than this I haven't run into any issues so far. Let me know if there is anything specific you would like tested.

      Actually, looks like I had already written something about it in the Updates Howto: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/wiki/Updates-Howto#a-special-word-about-xcp-ng-75-76-and-live-migrations

      Thin Pro on block is very very very immature in XenServer. You can't even migrate VDIs on this SR to another one (nor toward it). Frankly, it's still messy, avoid it.

      Great projects have great documentation. Is XCP-ng a great project?

      @stormi Yes, after trying to save the changes, an error banner appeared with the message "Your account has been flagged". It was indeed a policy for new accounts, according to the github support team. I'll try again, thanks!

      @stormi said in Updates announcements and testing: FYI: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX235404 "Important: Updating to this version of the driver removes the quiesced snapshots capability of the VM. If you are using quiesced snapshots and wish to retain this functionality, do not adopt these 9.0.0.x drivers." They do not tell about crashing VMs though I read the support article hoping for more details on how to "...retain this functionality, do not adopt these 9.0.0.x drivers." but the article does not mention that either. I did not opt to install the new guest tools at any point. I only shutdown the VM to complete the host patches. Also see the image below, unless it installs guest tools through a side channel that does not show in the Windows updates history. Would simply disabling the "Windows Update tools" advanced option in XOA/XO stop it from adopting the new guest tools?

      Hello dear RC testers! We are releasing 7.5.0 final today, so here's how to go from 7.5.0RC to 7.5.0. Warning: this is only for people who installed the RC. Detailed procedure will be given in the release announcement for upgrading an XCP-ng 7.4 server Option 1, upgrade using the installation ISO Will work, although may be a little overkill since you already have a nearly-final 7.5.0. Option 2, update yum repository files and update the system # remove the RC-specific repository file if present rm /etc/yum.repos.d/xcp-ng-7.5.repo -f # install the 7.5 official repository file wget https://updates.xcp-ng.org/7/xcp-ng-7.5.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/xcp-ng.repo # update. If you had updated your RC regularly, this will install nothing, else you'll get a few packages yum update # if the kernel or xen-* packages got updated, reboot your server # that's it, you've got 7.5.0 final!

      You can find all ISOs at https://updates.xcp-ng.org/isos/ @olivierlambert we may want to offer a link to that under a "Do you need an older installer?" link on the main website?
