    • RE: Backups don't time out

      @DustinB thats not the point of the post.

      the point of the post is on HTTP connection has timed out, the TASK never actually times out on the proxy.

      I am aware it says space issues on the SR and its unfortunate that error is in the screen shot but its a distraction, not the actual problem.

    • Backups don't time out

      XOA 5.110.1
      XOA Proxy involved is version 0.29.30

      we have a backup task that is refusing to time out. the only way i can get this to end is by restarting the proxy

      this has been an issue sense the new backup process was introduced.

      timeout for the task is set to 8 hours but XOA and the XOA proxy seem to not care what this value is.. it just sits there and is keeping the VDI's locked.

      dont get hyper focused on this next screen shot, it has nothing todo with the actual issue, just showing that even though the process is timed out but running.. the VID's are still locked by the host

    • RE: MAP_DUPLICATE_KEY error in XOA backup - VM's wont START now!

      I have, what is hopefully a final update to this issue(s).

      we upgraded to xoa version .99 a few weeks ago and the problem has now gone away. we suspect that some changes were made for timeouts in xoa that have resolved this , and a few other related problems.

    • RE: Backups don't time out

      @olivierlambert the answer seems to be "no timeout" as of now the task has been stuck like this for 30+ hours. only way i can make it go away is to restart the XO Proxy. something i can't do right now due to another task running a huge delta mirror sync.

    • RE: Backup and Backup copy with XO Proxies. Bug or by design ?

      @Pilow not easily. as an Telco/ISP we run massive multiple 40 to 100gb/s links across the country so data transfers from site to site is not an issue allowing us to have priv routed IP networks spanning anywhere. Much harder todo for SMB deployments.
      may also involve adding more vnics and IP's to XOA and XOA-PROXY

      SiteA:
      XOA
      proxy-A
      Storage-A-SR
      Backup-A-SR

      priv network routing in both directions to:

      SiteB:
      proxy-B
      Storage-B-SR
      Backup-B-SR

      so XOA, Proxy-A, Proxy-B ALL have access to:
      Storage-A-SR
      Backup-A-SR
      Storage-B-SR
      Backup-B-SR

      sorry.. this is probably not helpfull for most people 😞

    • RE: Backup and Backup copy with XO Proxies. Bug or by design ?

      @Pilow thats what we had todo..

      we had to allow XOA AND ALL proxies access to ALL backup remotes.

    • RE: 10gb backup only managing about 80Mb

      @Pilow I think what you are seeing is the result of tapdisk single threaded nature (among other things master Dom0 related). I would suggest changing concurrency to 4 or 8 and see if the speed AT THE PORT is higher during backups. You may still only see <80MiB/s PER vm getting backed up, maybe less, but you may end with 4 or 8 backing up at 40 to 60MiB/s == high total bandwidth.

      also note.. you 61.63MiB (note capital B for Mebibyte/s) is == 517.267 mb/s network speed megabite/second

    • RE: MAP_DUPLICATE_KEY error in XOA backup - VM's wont START now!

      @olivierlambert the 3 truenas servers are very bored 🙂 we be lucking to be hitting 10% of there abilities even during the backups.

      i think i have stumbled across something that maybe a bug or the cause:

      lets say we have 5 servers, VM getting this error during backups is running on server3, When this happens we power it down on server3 and clear the stuck tapdisk connections a log entry shows up saying a snapshot link on server5 was also cleared....

      example: "Cleared RW for 7d213264-1f89-488f-b273-eb91c186eaab on host 14c98969-ae12-4d7f-9c42-d7656aae01e5 on server5"
      ... but the VM was running on server3.....

      so HERE is what i think is happening... just a theory... I think the load balance plugin is moving VMs around during the backup process. could that be possible?? i feel based on what i am seeing this could be the cause.

    • RE: MAP_DUPLICATE_KEY error in XOA backup - VM's wont START now!

      This problem is back with vengeance. after almost a year of no issues, we have upgraded to version 109.2 of XOA and boom... probably is back

      XCP-NG servers are on 8.2.1 May 6th update

      we get this following error in XOA

      Error: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_82(, Failed to snapshot VDI [opterr=failed to pause VDI 7d213264-1f89-488f-b273-eb91c186eaab], )

      cant make snapshots of the effected VM anymore...
      manual snapshots we get same error:
      SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_82(, Failed to snapshot VDI [opterr=failed to pause VDI c51f22e2-ba5c-413b-8afc-9208a2b944ef],
      but there is NO issues with the SR.

      failed 17 backups last night,
      failed 3 backups tonight.
      across 3 different storage arrays

      all those VM's we had to shut down and fix.
      tapdisk connections to the disk have to be manually killed.

      we will double check all our interfaces again but i suspect it will be the same as last time:, no errors on networking or storage side.

      something has changed, reverted.

    • RE: Netdata-ui updated and VM's not listed anymore - ISSUE

      I got this figured out...

      the xcp-ng-updated packages for netdata-ui DO NOT work with xcp-ng, as per my oringial post.
      netdata is getting upted by normal xcp-ng updates
      8109f4a0-820d-4733-a7a2-507b5cc45b47-image.png

      this new version does not work , VM's no longer listed.

      steps to remove and put on orig version

      yum remove netdata-ui -y
      yum remove netdata -y
      #you have todo this as well or old version wont install
      #yum leave files in /usr/share/netdata/ that blokcs installing 1.19
      rpm -e netdata-data-1.44.3-1.2.xcpng8.2.noarch
      rpm -e netdata-conf-1.44.3-1.2.xcpng8.2.noarch
      yum install netdata-ui-1.19.0
      #run next line or manualy type it in, you do you
      echo "exclude=netdata*" >> /etc/yum.conf

      after this, we have version 1.19 installed again that actually works with XEN xcp-ng
