    @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 have a couple Delta backups that target the same remote. Yesterday I set up a Mirror backup between that remote and another remote. When I ran the Mirror backup yesterday, it was successful. Today 7 of the VMs succeed in the backup but 5 of them fail with: Missing vdi <guid> which is a base for a delta Could this be caused by the fact that the target for the Mirror backup used to be a target for the Delta backup so it has files on it already. Do I need to purge the folder entirely? I thought maybe that would give it a head start and the reason I'm using the Mirror backup is because the Delta backup used to fail randomly on random VMs when backing up to both remotes. How would I go about diagnosing this? I assume since the guid for the vdi is missing, it's going to be hard for me to find since I can't find something that's missing. Alternatively, maybe it's because it's currently a weird mix of old Delta backups and new Mirror backups and maybe over the next few days it will purge enough old stuff that it will start working cleanly. Should I delete the entire remote target of the Mirror to get it started cleanly? Or, more likely, delete all backups on that Mirror for the 5 VMs that failed with this error.

    @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

    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

    What kind of backups are these? Incremental (delta), full, etc..? I think that'll help determining the issue, I had something similar once specifically with an incremental and was able to fix it. May not be related though since that was a while ago and on stable release channel for XOA.

    Hmmmmm I need to look back through some of my old posts and notes but I had a similar issue with a VM with large number of disks. The disks themselves being big wasn't the issue, it was just having a huge number of them that eventually cased a problem. Ended up migrating by moving a single VHD and rebuilding things (the specific system didn't really "need" all the VHDs so it was an easy fix for me, wouldn't be the case here haha). If you are trying to reduce the number of hosts though, why would migrating the VCSA help? If you're powering off a host then wouldn't you not need the VCSA to be running anyway? Or do you have more than 1 ESXi instance? Might be easiest to just migrate it to another ESXi host if that's the goal, since you won't need the VCSA once you fully move to XCP-ng (assuming you are doing so).

    You can create a valid VHD file with the command uuidgen

    @Danp Ya, I normally restart the master first, but it was late and I was just trying to get them patched and restarted. I restarted 03 and everything came back up. Thanks!

    If you want to put VHD file in an existing NFS SR, you need to indeed have an UUID type. Note that the SR file structure should NOT have any subfolder into it. To generate an UUID, you can use uuidgen command.

    @MrNaz I recommend reading the XO blog; updates are published monthly. NBD was introduced in the 5.76 release and the ability to enable in the Xen Orchestra UI was introduced in 5.79 https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-5-76/ https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-5-79/ Also enhancements were released in 5.81 https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-5-81/

    Old thread i know but i will say that there is an issue with using VLAN.id 1 I am permitting all vlans end to end on my infrastructure and the only vlan that doesnt work is 1. If i move the VM to another vlan then everything works. I suppose the solution is to not use vlan.id 1 but thats terrible. all vlans are permissiable.

    @elvintmp75 @elvintmp75 said in XO Proxy Comminuty edition Config Error: I'm probably missing something obvious..any ideas? Yes ! You forgot to read the instructions properly. It is clearly stated: "This script is not supported or endorsed by Xen Orchestra. Any issue you may have, please report it first to this repository." This means that this script/ install method is NOT made or supported by Vates (The guys behind Xen Orchestra / XCP-ng ) There may be errors in scripts and installs which you should report to the creator and not to this forum !

    @olivierlambert Thank you and your team again for your commitment to this fantastic FOSS tool and for allowing me to build it myself! I very much appreciate the personal touch of my issues being triaged by the CEO and Co-Founder. It's refreshing to see an executive officer stay in touch with their customer base.

    Hi, Indeed, only root user in the guest can read it Any user that can see the XAPI object will be able to read it So I would say it's "reasonably safe", but it all depends on your global usage context and level of confidentiality you need.

    Hi! Short answer: no. Restore is only for a "superuser" (admin) not for "regular" users. In the long run: maybe So it's up to you (for now) to restore the VM.
