    *** Warning *** This process and the attached file is only appropriate for restoring towards XAPI 25.27.0. Use this procedure at your own risk. We recently put together a solution for a customer that had this exact issue. Below are the basic instructions to update freshly installed 8.3 hosts to the set of updates that were available on October 24th, including XAPI 25.27.0 -- Install XCP-ng 8.3.0 LTS scp the attached package_list_for_update.txt to the hosts /root. This file contains package versions from our update repository on October 24th. then, on the hosts, from /root: cat package_list_for_update.txt | xargs yum update-to -y This will output a lot of messages saying that this or that package is not found. That's expected. Then it will proceed to install the updates. In my tests, 73 of them. Once the update completes, reboot the host. Restore the XAPI metadata Restart XAPI Verify that XAPI is running. Install the remaining updates with yum update -y. Reboot package_list_for_update.txt

    The issue is within pools: XCP-ng isn't meant to have pool members down (for various reasons), so the scenario is only limited to pools with one host only

    It's more work, but... you have to stop the VM and export them, delete the current SR (Local Storage), recreate SR (Local Storage) as local ext4 format import the VM back In this way you switch from LVM to ext4 and the space it needs will be small, not double the space

    @olivierlambert Yes, i will update and have a look if it changes the behaviour anyhow. "For the rest, it's hard to answer without digging more." That`t exactly was i was looking for: Any Information where i can dig deeper? I`m looking for logs or traces of errors or so. It is not that i just wan`t this particular problem to be solved In my limited understanding of interal processes i think somehow a backup process dies and xo-server does not report or recognize this. But shouldn`t it somehow?

    @olivierlambert Oh nice, hope it's not too cold over there. It's 9AM over here in Maryland and a bit nippy but not too cold. Nope, no host or pool logs available (both are empty). Then again, I cleared all the alerts from the dashboard earlier this morning, so not sure if that's what wiped all the logs. I'm not too worried, as this is a testing environment so I'm using this host to do a lot of learning.

    @Gheppy I am not an expert on the network part but I can help on the NBD part We added some info in this PR https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/6596, it should be merged in this form or another in master in a few days. It will give the user more info on the NBD usage and the cause (misconfiguration, or network error) Then if XO ( or the proxy) can't connect to the host through the NBD (for example with a network filtering/ routing), it will fall back to the reliable (but non parallelizable) api call Finally , the backup done with NBD or the legacy api call will produce exactly the same data so they are compatibles, but using the same target (as in the same directory , same remote and same VMs) for multiple job can lead to complex support tickets with interesting race conditions. I would advise to only use the same remote/directory only if the backups jobs does not concern the same VMs fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed feat(@xen-orchestra/backups): more information on nbd backups #6596

    @cdbessig that's strange Since S3 remote are only able to store blocks, the option is enforced on save ( without any uI) I tested locally and the options seems to be there. Can you show me a screenshot of the backup job configuration ?

    @trent234 Interesting, good to know. I do know that XCP-ng only officially supports 7 network interfaces, so not really surprised by that. It supports more VHDs though so feel like I shouldn't be seeing this error.

    @tuxen No GPUs were removed. only 2 were added. The only PCIE item removed was a NIC but I didn't remove it from dom0 or assign it to any VMs, it was just in the system.

    I believe this is a known issue (https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/5973) that is unlikely to be fixed in XO5. We'll need to wait for @pdonias to be back from holidays to have more info on this. just-333 created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed Error on vm.set from Jobs tab in XO web GUI #5973

    @sumansaha In summary , I've deleted Orphan VDIs from Dashboard->health . But in deletion, I've maintained the sequence of their age.It has taken 6 hours, though that depends on the VM size.
