So I experiment with the pre-made Rocky image, all updates.
It is a VM in my UNRAID, along with a couple other VMs (including NS7 that is my “production” server still) and containers.
My NS8 install is clean and is in “pre-migration” state.
In other words, I have run the migration wizard in (my very stable for years) NS7 and synced a few times, but didn’t actually finish the migration (probably will not before smarthost is implemented - I cannot do otherwise), so no real heavy services are running.
Also I have dnf-automatic in NS8 VM.
…so the GUI was just standing there the last few days.
Today I just went through my browser tabs, one of the NS8 GUI… Where I got a very nice “wait circle” going on for 2-3 minutes? (ctrl-refreshed the page too)
After those 2-3 minutes of plain gray page with rotating circle I got the four cluster status boxes, empty, with still more wait circle for like 1+ more minute.
Then I got the GUI fully loaded.
Remember this is a 6 core/12 thread machine with 32GB RAM and under rather low utilization (as physical machine, but also the VM has enough resources reserved). Never had such a delay before or anything near that in my other VM, NS7 or whatever.
Is it the way the new system works? Is there debug code slowing things? Something else?
