PFSense VM not getting pass autoboot countdown in 8.3beta 12/21/2023 update.
Hello all,
Not sure it this is something specific to this update on (8.3beta 12/21/2023 release update) or not but did anyone else run into pfsense 2.7.1 having the VM not doing the autoboot countdown on startup screen after update? Apparently my node has this problem. I have to manually press the enter button to continue from startup screen...
Unless I accidently change the console keyboard from XOA setting somehow? I always use SSH to do all my stuff but if there is anyway to type in directly from console would be nicer
Screen it is stuck on until enter is pressed.
Reason i suspect it is XCP-ng is because there was no change before xcp-ng update (8.3beta 12/21/2023 release update) and when i revert vm to older version of the snapshot it has same problem. Really weird...
FYI all other VM didn't have this problem as they autoboot up normally.

@stormi
Good things I notice on the new beta2-test3 iso:- "efi: EFI_MEMMAP is not enabled" used to take minutes is now down to 30 sec
- host joins other host or pool really quickly (it sometime takes forever or doesn't work for me before until I manually toggle disconnect and reconnect) (hosts in pool always work fine but hosts from different pool was slow previously not sure why when they all start up at the same time is usually the issue especially when network is up slower than the hosts. I assume host search timeout before network is up.)
- UEFI is definitely fixed now
All good feedback. No drawback yet.
Also when is NFS v4 available believe it was end of 1st quarter (March???) from what i heard is that still true?
Thanks otherwise it is good on my short test so far.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@stormi said in XCP-ng 8.3 beta :
Testing it right now and migrating my VM over to see. My previous install SR was causing issue and disappearing on every restart for some reason lol (don't even know what causes it so decided to start fresh ). So decided to might as well test the "xcp-ng-8.3.0-beta2-test3.iso" new iso you uploaded. Will provide feedback in a few minutes.

RE: When you miss 10G in your homelab
@gskger Just wondering since we are on topic of storage and network. What would you guys do to make a website highly available?
My understanding is:
- Nginx or Apache to run frontend (doesn't change much) so XCP-ng can host these VMs pretty much static beside the changes to the database and the contents that is in the storage. So as long as there is a reverse proxy and load balancer it should be good.
- Database - (Mariadb with HA active-active enable) Change all the time and needs to be geo-replicated and believe MariaDB does this by itself.
- Storage - Ceph active-active sync. Maybe async work not sure... (Ceph storage best for this as it has active-active sync.)
Does that sound about right or i am missing too much detail?

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@stormi Nice thanks so I can run the complete update on XOA and not worry about having to remove that single edk2 anymore that wasn't working. Will do that later

RE: When you miss 10G in your homelab
@gskger Yea the step in between is hard to justify. Esp. in my case since I have both 10G for my R720XD as well but these large servers are just too loud to be in the same room. lol . I end up not wanting to not hear these severs and reducing electrical cost.
FYI I used the one I show and used an old credit card and drill two holes in the card mount the 2.5G and insert it right in the display port I used to have on the HP800g3 lol. Fit perfect and work like a charm.

RE: When you miss 10G in your homelab
@gskger Lol yea price wise it is just 10X more but another issue is that 10G is not going to help in the hp800 g6 or in my particular case g3 is too limited. But considering I am able to build everything and run the server under $45 with penny in electricity.
