    *** 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

    You can't delete a base copy. You need to understand how it works before doing dangerous operations. A base copy exists if there's a snapshot. If you have 0 snap and still base copy, it could be either: because the coalesce isn't finished because the coalesce doesn't work In both case, you have to take a look at your SMlog. If you have no idea about it, you should either get pro support or start to read the doc in more details You can start here: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/storage.html#coalesce

    @julien-f The new update seems to be working correctly now. Thanks for the quick update fix. The backup cache fixes/cleanup made a huge difference (improvement). I was trying to figure out what was going on with my backups as they were running but were missing from the restore list. After the cache cleanup, it showed 3-4 times the number of restore points! All the missing stuff and more. It took some time to clean up all the extra stuff, but backups seem to be back on track again.

    @anturk What errors do you see in /var/log./SMlog related to this? Have you run ifconfig or netstat to look for network transmission errors? Is this a new setup and if so, are you sure the cables are of good quality? Is this a dedicated NIC or is it part of a VLAN?

    @olivierlambert I blew away the docker container and did a fresh build of XO from source on a *buntu box. Issue resolved itself with that. Must be a bad build in the docker.

    You can't login to our servers with your source version (from Git), you must download the virtual appliance. If you can't access https://xen-orchestra.com internally, then, indeed, you won't be able to register it in the end. But if you managed to clone it from Github, you have some access to outside

    @KPS You can use xo-cli --list-objects type=VM. Also you should only get the backup logs once and join with the VM list, because backupNg.getLogs is heavy.

    @olivierlambert Yep, thanks. OP edited to direct link to XOA NTP documentation for those who need that. There was no clear distinction in my mind. Apologies for any confusion caused.

    @SpoonyLove @olivierlambert For usb passthrough we are using USB redirector over network For anything storage related we use something like this: mkdir /adm/passSR passUUID=`xe sr-create name-label="Direct access SR" name-description="Direct acces to hdd with simlink" type=udev content-type=disk device-config:location=/adm/passSR` ln -s /dev/sdb /adm/passSR/sdb xe sr-scan uuid=$passUUID xe vdi-list sr-uuid=$passUUID Remember to replace /dev/sdb with your device.

    Participating on the forum is a totally acceptable form of contribution. And to be clear: you have the choice. The choice to do nothing, or to help the project to grow. It's really up to you Freedom of choice is great! Everyone can contribute, spread the word and advocate for our solutions. And believe me, if everybody does, we stand a chance against those juggernauts (VMware for example). Also, you have my words, and I'm not afraid to tell that publicly: every $ we make is 100% re-invested into our projects. No big VC nor investors asking for insane ROI.

    @sgroel Curious. Are all the NICs the same on the existing pool hosts as well as the new host you add? Do all hosts have the same hotfix levels and the same overall hardware architecture? Seems odd as I ran servers this way for years. Maybe also look at the network switches to make sure they are all configured correctly. Finally, any clues in the /var/log files?

    @Darkbeldin I checked the xensource.log on the server and found the error message "failed with exception Server_error(INVALID_DEVICE, [ autodetect ])" during export, similar to the post here: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/4319/invalid_device-autodetect-during-backup I checked the XO dashboard health and found 256 "Pool Metadata Backup" VDIs attached to Control Domain. Not sure how or why the "Pool Metadata Backup" got stuck attached to Control Domain but I guess it has reached the 256 limit. I "Forget" all of them and full backup seems to be working now. For the record, it wasn't anything to do with snapshots. The VM was OFF so I guess it doesn't need to take a snapshot before transfer hence the log doesn't mention snapshot.
