    @Razor_648 While I was writing my previous message, I have been reminded that there are also issues with LVHDoISCSI SR and CBT, you should disable CBT on your backup job and on all VDI on the SR. It might help with the issue.

    I have a couple Delta backups that target the same remote. Yesterday I set up a Mirror backup between that remote and another remote. When I ran the Mirror backup yesterday, it was successful. Today 7 of the VMs succeed in the backup but 5 of them fail with: Missing vdi <guid> which is a base for a delta Could this be caused by the fact that the target for the Mirror backup used to be a target for the Delta backup so it has files on it already. Do I need to purge the folder entirely? I thought maybe that would give it a head start and the reason I'm using the Mirror backup is because the Delta backup used to fail randomly on random VMs when backing up to both remotes. How would I go about diagnosing this? I assume since the guid for the vdi is missing, it's going to be hard for me to find since I can't find something that's missing. Alternatively, maybe it's because it's currently a weird mix of old Delta backups and new Mirror backups and maybe over the next few days it will purge enough old stuff that it will start working cleanly. Should I delete the entire remote target of the Mirror to get it started cleanly? Or, more likely, delete all backups on that Mirror for the 5 VMs that failed with this error.

    XenOrchestra with Terraform

    @ddelnano Sorry to drag this up and also no OP, but I'm just looking at how to set a static RAM allocation via terraform too so this would be relevant to me. Here's a snippet of code, it's using a generic Ubuntu 22.04 LTS cloud image template which has 1GB ram by default, in the code I set the memory to 4GB, which works but uses Dynamic rather than static resource "xenorchestra_vm" "bar" { name_label = "TerraformCreatedMe" name_description = "Terraform Managed" template = data.xenorchestra_template.ubuntu22.id memory_max = 4294967296 cpus = 4 destroy_cloud_config_vdi_after_boot = true hvm_boot_firmware = "uefi" From the hypervisor side the VM looks like this: memory-static-max ( RW): 4294967296 memory-dynamic-max ( RW): 4294967296 memory-dynamic-min ( RW): 1073741824 memory-static-min ( RW): 1073741824 So to me it looks like memory_max in terraform changes just memory-static-max and memory-dynamic-max which leaves the VM with dynamic memory control. I want the behaviour to be, when I create a new VM or change the RAM allocation for the VM to have static RAM not dynamic. I hope this is possible.

    @jmm Can you check to see if the health check is turned off? In your backup config, it'll be in the schedule just under the "Replication Retention" section. I've found that you can leave it on, but it will "fail" (despite the recovery working fine, unchecking it will get rid of the error on subsequent backups).

    Thank you @Danp , that suggestion worked! For anyone seeing this in the future, I just bond the nics on the master before adding the rest of the hosts to the pool.

    Monitoring Xen Orchestra with Icinga2

    @fesch said in Monitoring Xen Orchestra with Icinga2: Hello XOA Community, We are in the process of migrating from VMware to XCP-NG with XOA. We are using Icinga2 as an unster infrastructure monitoring tool and would like to monitor the XOA and the hosts with Icinga2 as well. Does anyone know a good check plugin for Icinga or another good solution to monitor an XCP-NG cluster via Icinga/Nagios? Unfortunately, my searches on the web have not yielded any particularly good results. I am thankful for any hint. Best regards Felix @fesch There's in Xen Orchestra a plugin called "transport-icinga2" so if your got a high enough edition of Xen Orchestra (depending on Vate's bundle) subscription. So if you have this plugin in Xen Orchestra and configure it with the following:- Server (as a http or https url) Username Password Filter to use You may depending on whether your using valid cross signed certificates or not you may need to configure "allow unauthorised certificates". After configuring the plugin then enable it to start monitoring Xen Orchestra and through it the XCP-ng hosts being managed!

    To conclude this: @florent and I discussed the issue in a private conversation. I provided the vmdk file that was causing the problem. It turned out that the problem was caused by the vmdk thin file from VMware Workstation Pro, which has a slightly different structure than the vmdk files on ESXi hypervisors. Currently XO imports these files fine and the problem can be considered solved. Thank you very much @florent for your cooperation and help.

    @omatsei I found the following error on the source host, if it helps. I rebooted it and restarted iscsid on both the source and destination hosts, just to make sure nothing was pending or hung. May 28 10:15:32 xcp09 xapi: [error||2507 ||backtrace] SR.scan D:9f4f3c05cc88 failed with exception Storage_error ([S(Redirect);[S(192.168.1.201)]]) May 28 10:15:32 xcp09 xapi: [error||2507 ||backtrace] Raised Storage_error ([S(Redirect);[S(192.168.1.201)]]) May 28 10:15:32 xcp09 xapi: [error||2507 ||backtrace] 1/1 xapi Raised at file (Thread 2507 has no backtrace table.

I ended up rebooting the pool master after manually migrating VM's off it, and it seems to have fixed the issue. No idea why, but whatever.

    @msimanyi said in Confused re: pricing (XOA vs. Vates Essentials): @john-c said in Confused re: pricing (XOA vs. Vates Essentials): It does NOT require three licensed servers (on Essential or Essential+), it allows up to (max) 3 hosts so you have room to grow. Yes, on those packages. I was specifically talking about the Enterprise version for 24/7 support, which requires licensing at least three hosts. (I'm sure I could ignore implementing the third host, but I'd still have to pay the $1,800 / year basic host license fee for it.) Again, thank you for all your effort discussing this. @msimanyi The Enterprise plan isn't just per year but also per host, so you would be paying on that plan per host and per year. With that minimum requirement you would be paying $4590 for 3 hosts every year (for 5 Years of Support), then for just a 1 year $5400 each year for 3 hosts. The price per host per year is for each individual host on the higher plans, but the 3 host minimum is just a threshold for eligibility. So once you have 3 (or more) hosts, then you can choose to be on those plans. So Essential+ plan is around that amount of $1,800 / year, if going for the 5 Years Support (with $1700). Anyway I left a feedback note for @olivierlambert to see if he can add options on the SMB plans, to enable upgrading the response times to be closer to the 24/7 ones (from Enterprise level). Maybe worth talking to Vates directly to see if an exception can be granted in your case so you can be 24/7, any way worth contacting them to see - yes?
