    @DustyArmstrong said in Network Management lost, No Nic display Consol: @nikade sorry to drag this up but, is there a particular process or methodology to avoid this in the first place? Just had it happen on two brand new hosts, I had to re-install XCP from scratch. Bit worried if I reboot one of them now for any reason this will happen again. It happened on both the pool master and the slave, network completely wiped out on both. Genuinely one of the most bizarre series of events I've ever experienced with server infrastructure, I could not understand what was going on until I found this thread. What exactly happend? Could you try and explain in 1-2-3 steps?

    XO Delta Backup Fails to Local Storage Mounted via NFS

    Hi, So I tried using the NFS target remotes but the speed of transfer was very poor even though the connection from XO to the NFS server is over 10Gbe. XO is on the same XCP-ng host as the VMs being backed up. This XCP-ng server is connected to the NFS mount over 10Gbe network: [image: 1581002643082-56cc5a0a-e633-443b-9a50-6575ef5cddaf-image.png] Here is the NFS Remotes setting in XO to the backup server (FreeNAS) at IP 10.10.2.3:[image: 1581002745614-046fcdaa-8788-4d69-aa00-c1620a0afb46-image.png] The backup logs show extremely low transfer speed: [image: 1581001993532-b51d304d-2fb6-472f-8eb9-0dbec967d49c-image.png]

    @olivierlambert Thanks again for the reply. I’m looking into it more. I think I need to add the storage directly to the VM running XO. I was trying to use a drive connected to a drive on my local network. Though it says it can talk to the drive, it does not reach it. I’m trying now to add an NFS to the XO server.

    You can avoid transferring some disk data with the [NOBAK] title in the VM disk. However, a VM snapshot isn't capable of ignoring a disk. This would require a change either in the way we do backup in XO (not using VM.snapshot, but VDI.snapshot instead) or modify XCP-ng API to support VM.snapshot with excluded disk. The first option will make quiesce snapshots impossible. The other one is a bit more complicated to realize, but not impossible. The issue already exists in our bug tracker: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/2560 julien-f created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed [Full backups] Supports `[NOBAK]` #2560

    This may be related to https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/282 My guess is that the tools ISO was mounted into the XO VM, then updates were applied to the host that contained an update of the tools ISO, which led to the XO VM having an non-existing tools ISO still mounted. I have made a change in 8.1 to avoid that (eject all tools ISOs after updating the ISO, not just from shutdown VMs), and testing will tell us whether that's a good solution. To solve the situation, you usually just need to eject the ISO with xe vm-cd-eject, not xe vm-cd-remove, as @tuxen said. If you had a snapshot of the VM before removing the CD drive, I think restoring it should bring the CD drive back and then you can eject the CD with xe vm-cd-eject... Unless restoring the snapshot also fails. Else as tuxen said you need to recreate a CD/DVD device and attach it to the VM. iw0der created this issue in xcp-ng/xcp closed This operation cannot be performed because the specified virtual disk could not be found #282

    It's pretty simple: just replace "xva" in the image by VHD and that's it. Otherwise it's explained https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/delta_backups.html If you still have questions, let me know

    For the moment I've had to create several backup jobs instead of one big backup it's e.g. servers01-06, 07-12, 13-18. Which isn't ideal as it's harder to manage, but is what it is!

    Hard to say from just a screenshot. What version of XO are you running? How long did you wait for the logs to load? Did you try refreshing the page? FWIW, I've noticed that XO seems to take longer to load this page than it did previously. P.S. Technically, you aren't running XOA (the pre-built XO appliance).
