  @olivierlambert said in Continuous Replication fails with VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors) on fresh XOA install after XenServer 7.2 -> XCP-ng 8.0 upgrade: To your config file, yes. Where this config file is depends on where do you installed Xen Orchestra (I suppose from the sources, so I can't guess where do you installed, could be anyware ) edit: I think it's fixed now and integrated by default in the config Great, this fix already is in the new version. I was having this problem (Error: VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors)) and was not be able to do CR of my VMs but now CR works. Thank you PS: BTW that was my config file

  So copy/paste won't work in this case. We are adding soon a link in the console page to open with ssh (eg: ssh://VMURL)

  I think that scrolling is passed to the VM, you can test with on a VM with a X server or Windows.

  @olivierlambert xcp-ng Center displays it properly, so yeah, it must be the way XO is pulling data. Oh well. Not a big deal. Just was curious. Thanks Olivier!

  Hi @smschumacher It's a good question and there's no easy answer. First, Xen Orchestra is not Open Core: you have all XO features from the sources, so it's not true to say "you want premium feature you need to pay". We are talking about support and some tools outside XO itself. There's no problem for individuals using from the sources, and enjoy everything for free. Note that Vates made 99,99% of the code base, it's not a dev community effort. So we decided to put it for free and Open Source, because we believe in that fair model. That's why we also decided to do XCP-ng. But what about no companies using XOA and support? How could we pay the 6 full time devs to work on it? So this is a kind of way to remind corporate usage that's NOT safe to use it without support. In a ideal world, this won't have to be displayed. But don't be naive, the reality is often harsh. How could we detect that your source install is for your home lab or if you are a company? Also the donation would be even more problematic: companies will prefer to do that instead of paying for support. This would put us at risk. Also remember that for now XOA subscriptions are also paying for XCP-ng development. We aren't a big company, and we rely exclusively on XOA/XCP-ng support revenue, that's it. And the market isn't that huge (cheaper plans would be even close to break-even): to go cheap you need the numbers, and they aren't here. There is a reason for those messages, it's not made to bother you, it's made to bother corporate users who want to use it from the sources and just take support for 1 month when they got a problem (you know, as if you took an insurance for your car just after crashing it). I agree it's a delicate balance, and it's hard to find the sweet spot. Are you really in pain to see those messages, knowing it might help us to get corporate users to decide to take support because their boss saw the warning? Anyway, suggestions welcome, I'm always open to hear feedback! edit: talking about oVirt, you know it's the RHEL "community version" right? Why companies are paying for RHEL? Because of the brand name. It's Redhat. Well, even IBM now. We aren't that kind of fish.

  Quite welcome, @mhrsolanki2020 . I am a frequent searcher for knowledge, so happy to be able to pass along something helpful. And @akurzawa , I'm aware it's not an issue with XCP/XOA, it was, as I said, my own ignorance. Just hoping to help other folks out in the future. Thank you for the advice about LVM, in this case it just happened to be what was originally running on the VM.

  When you click on the link of the error message it should send you to the official documentation, explaining what it means: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/backup_troubleshooting.html#error-messages I'm not sure to understand the UI question, can you post a screenshot?

  Do you mean to say when you edit the network config box, and fill it out with your own network info (adhering to this standard: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/network-config-format-v1.html) that cloudinit in the vm gives a yaml error? This indicates the way you filled out the entry box is not properly formatted. Keep in mind to pass networking info, your cloudinit install in your template VM needs to be set to use nocloud data sources, and keep in mind the network configuration passed via cloud-init is added to the template VM, not replaced, so you need to properly configure your template VM to not already have adapters configured with IP addresses etc

  You can't import via the self service. Self is made to be used for creating VMs only, without any idea on what's going on "behind the curtains". If you want import possible, it's another use case, feel free to share why and how you are imagining it. If you have pro support, you can create a ticket so we can see all details in private.

  Yes, you are right infact the old instances are halted and are temporarily kept till I am not sure the imported ones are perfectly working on new node. Unfortunately in the meantime I need a way to manage boths and it means xencenter or cli. Thanks for having pointed my attention to the duplicated uiids problem.

  See me previous post here -- https://xen-orchestra.com/forum/post/5072 I'm guessing that you were missing the symlinks for the plugins, otherwise they should have been present in XO.

  I think the simplest way to just do this once is to go to Settings > Config, there you can export the backup. Once you create your new instance of XOCE, you can import the backup using the same page, then just logout of the default user, and you can login using your old credentials. Make sure to delete the admin@admin.net account after.

  So you can't create a backup with XOA Free. This edition is meant for all usual administrative tasks, like XCP-ng Center if you like. If you want backup features, 2 choices: going for XOA Starter, Enterprise or Premium depending on your backup needs. See each edition features here: https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/featuresmatrix (each edition comes with pro support, updater and remote SSH access if needed) install XO from the sources on a system you like, following our guide: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/from_the_sources.html
