Just updated my homelab server from XCP-ng 7.6 to XCP-ng 8.0 Beta, so far so good. I also tested the new experimental UEFI mode with Windows VM, seems good too. I also tested the new XOA deployment through the Web interface of my host, perfect ! We will see during the following week how it goes

No one raised their hands, and yet an update candidate for 7.5 is available with the fixes backported from 7.6. Install it with yum update --enablerepo='xcp-ng-updates_testing' microcode_ctl xen-dom0-libs xen-dom0-tools xen-hypervisor xen-libs xen-tools We've tested it locally, works fine for us.

Yes, cool idea. Logrotate++

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.

@sfx please take a look here, there are several discussions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/107 olivierlambert created this issue in xcp-ng/xcp open Software RAID install on previous used mdadm disks #107

Thanks for the tests. I have now moved the updates candidates to the updates repository, so everybody who installed 7.5RC1 should see the updates soon.

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!

Updated: main renamed to base.

Document updated: new, simpler, branch structure for the repositories + section added to detail how we handle experimental changes to existing packages.
