RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@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: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@stormi after the update it seem to work well for me. Well the update from edk2 at least is working now. Haven't tried the iso.

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.

RE: When you miss 10G in your homelab
@gskger Found it this was the one i use for HP800 g3 mini. Only if you are ok with realtek card the intel cost quite a bit more but it works as i used it and left it on for months already.

RE: When you miss 10G in your homelab
@gskger I have 2.5G on my HP Elitedesk 800 G3 but I need to manually install a 2.5G into the wifi slot about $10 for one nowaday. Especially now that XCP-ng support 2.5G i am so much more excited.

RE: VM Templates does choosing correct one matter?
Thanks that is good to know that it does affect some of the UEFI specs/setting. I assume it applies to Bios setting too.

VM Templates does choosing correct one matter?
Just wondering, I never thought about this before but does choosing the correct VM Templates matter? Most of the time it is really obvious which templates to choose but sometime it isn't and I guess. Does this affect the VM later on?
I saw a CEPH install where it states the following "current version uses a kernel up streamed from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 with a few patches, Ceph Quincy and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for its root file system."
Which guest toolkit should I use? I assume I should use ubuntu template. I accidently use "SUSE Linux Enterprise 15" template but toolkit fail. So I switch to Ubuntu guest toolkit and it work to some degree but never change the template "SUSE Linux Enterprise 15" to "Ubuntu". Does this matter?

RE: PFSense VM not getting pass autoboot countdown in 8.3beta 12/21/2023 update.
@Andrew Thanks for confirming that FreeBSD has the problem too. I don't have multiple FreeBSD i can test but i did suspect it might be the case as PFSense is FreeBSD.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@archw Thanks for the update yep he got me working as well. It works like a charm

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
Though as an FYI it is annoying but it show that single upgrade needed in the pool lol that you just downgrade lol. So best not to upgrade until it is resolved in the 1st place. FYI cant move the vm even to another version of 8.3b (original iso version) that doesn't have the updated 12/21 patches as it's not same version.
Obviously after the HOSTs in the pool are updated (patch 12/21) VMs can be migrated but they all need to be on same version.
I thought 8.3b can migrate between all 8.3b of various updates but definitely not the case here. Which I think is a pretty big issues but oh well.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@exetico it didnt break for me lol and all 4 of my xcp-ng and multiple pfsense VMs

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
FYI for anyone doing this the snippet of code on a 1 host 1 pool configuration no issue. If you run this code on a multiple hosts in 1 pool configuration make sure to run it all on each host that is affected by the update.
