HomeTinyLab

For .x upgrades yum can be used. But iso upgrades are recommended. What is the point having a homelab? So I will try the yum based upgrade. The official documentation can be found at https://xcp-ng.org/docs/upgrade.html#from-command-line . Login has root in your XCP-ng host (use ssh session) Set the VER variable to the version to upgrade to with the command:                          #  export VER=8.2 Download the following files by executing the following commands:                         #  wget https://updates.xcp-ng.org/8/xcp-ng-$VER.repo -O  xcp-ng-$VER.repo                         #  wget https://updates.xcp-ng.org/8/SHA256SUMS -O SHA256SUMS                         #  wget https://updates.xcp-ng.org/8/SHA256SUMS.asc -O SHA256SUMS.asc Install the repository so that yum can use it by executing the following commands:                         #  cp xcp-ng-$VER.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/xcp-ng.repo                         choose y to overwrite the file xcp-ng.repo                         #

When using XCP-ng and to be able to use the maximum of Xenserver. Xen Orchestra is one of the more powerful clients for doing this. It is web based and runs on is own VM. In my case I am running XOA in my homelab on my TrueNAS server. The reason I am doing this, is that the memory on the XCP-ng host is very low only 8 GB. I will stay for production reasons with the XOA on my TrueNAS server.  The installation of the XOACE can also be done with a script from Github. The script is well done all the credits go to the maintainers.  https://github.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater I did a little video tutorial on how to start with the made VM with XOACE (Xen Orchestra Appliance Community Edition) from the same Github source and made it ready to use. The steps I did in the video: Login has root into the xcp-ng host Execute the following line  bash -c "$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater/master/xo-appliance.sh)" Note: bash -c "

This is the follow up on the upgrade of FreeNAS to TrueNAS CORE . Normally after upgrading to another train it is common that a new ZFS version can be used with the existing pools. A manual update has to be done. One thing very  important  is that a rollback to the previous version will not be possible. My  recommendation  is to use the  existing  ZFS for several days and if no problems occur to upgrade the ZFS file system for the pools used. Do not forget to have backup of your data, something can go nasty. In my case after reboot the pools were not showing there drives. A second reboot fixed everything What to do with the warning New ZFS version ... ?
