    @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 understand Health Checks wait for the management tools to load however I have a device being backed up that does not have these management tools loaded yet still passes. How is this possible? [image: 1752469531812-c2eb77c3-7820-451b-86fa-56754fad38e3-image.png]

    @StephenAOINS This endpoint is not currently present in our REST API swagger, but we do plan to add it to the list of endpoints. We are currently finalizing the migration of existing endpoints, the next step will be adding new ones. We will keep you informed when it is available. Feel free to come back to us if you want to learn more and follow our blog posts. have a good day

    @olivierlambert @nathanael-h @Team-DevOps Please let me know if you have answers for any of the flollowing questions: Why JSON-RPC over websocket regularly returns not expected result for calls and what could be done with it? examples: method xo.getAllObjects sometimes returns empty result, but following: jsonrpc method params ------- ------ ------ 2.0 all @{type=enter; items=} On retry - everything is fine and we have all data jsonrpc result ------- ------ 2.0 @{bbdb1ed0-4c86-24ec-...=;..... method vm.copy sometimes returns only task with name_label host.get_server_certificate and no task async.vm.copy. Meanwhile copy operation is started in XEN Orchestra, so we have to separately search for the task currently running in all objects and if it is not there anymore suggest that it completed successfully. Afterwards we need to check if vm was copied and appeared in all objects. That is really frustrating as we have no info about successfully completed tasks in XEN - records just removed as nothing happen. most likely this happens due to other tasks being popped up in tasks at the same time and websocket call recives not its own responce, is it possible to workaround? What is correct syntax for JSON to run job.create method? Are there any article with supported methods for JSON-RPC calls and examples to use them? Calling for "system.getMethodsInfo" I can see "job.create": { "description": "Creates a new job from description object", "params": { "job": { "type": "object", "properties": { "userId": { "type": "string", "optional": true }, "name": { "type": "string", "optional": true }, "timeout": { "type": "number", "optional": true }, "type": { "type": "string" }, "key": { "type": "string" }, "method": { "type": "string" }, "paramsVector": { "type": "object", "properties": { "type": { "type": "string" }, "items": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object" } } }, "optional": true } } } }, "permission": "admin" }, But it is unclear what values should I provide to paramsVector and looking into the job created manually (in web interface) with method job.getall I can see 2 jobs [ { "type": "call", "name": "copyvm", "key": "generictask", "method": "vm.copy", "paramsvector": { "type": "crossproduct", "items": [ { "type": "set", "values": [ { "name": "nevm", "vm": "GUID", "sr": "GUID" } ] } ] }, "userid": "GUID", "id": "GUID" }, { "method": "vm.copy", "key": "vm.copy", "name": "copyvmjob", "type": "call", "userid": "GUID", "id": "GUID" } ] How can I create similar job myself if it is not possible to find out why vm.copy does not return async.vm.copy task info?

    @Pechkin000 It should be installed alongside xo-server, it depends how you installed XO on this. But still, it requires root access for security.

    @poltushima As there is no S3 support in Azure Blob Storage, no you can't use XO for direct backup to Azure. There are S3 proxy projects (here's one) that could make it work.

    Depends on what you expect from "manage", but once a template is deployed (or recipe applied), it's all regular VMs.

    I think using a script for an initial test is OK, but if you want to really use it, it's better to follow our documentation and following the per-requisites by the book.

    In essence, you can write any script you like in your VM that would be executed, test whatever you want in the database, and if it's OK, write a special key in the XenStore. XO will detect it and consider the backup health check done and working
