    Veeam scheduled a remote call with me and pulled more log files. Of coarse when we ran the backup job twice in a row both times al vms were successful. Veeam needs to baby sit our backups :). The call was cut short do to internet going down. I have uploaded the logs and waiting to hear back.

    @poddingue Borrow away - "smoke alarm" is a better name for it than anything we had, so we might borrow it right back. Since you mentioned reading the matrix - here is the classification you would be reading, straight from the file: grep access: dadl/xen-orchestra.dadl | sort | uniq -c 49 access: admin 21 access: dangerous 122 access: read 75 access: write 122 of the 267 tools are plain read - that is the entire surface a review-capped agent gets. The other 145 exist in the same file, but for that agent they might as well not. The whole security taxonomy is greppable plaintext - which is rather the point of a declarative format. And if anything in the matrix looks wrong or missing, this thread is exactly the right place - real-world corrections are how it improves.

    New releases! Terraform Provider Xen Orchestra v0.40.0 This new release allows users to import VMs directly from Xen Orchestra into Terraform without recreating it or modifying manually the Terraform state. There is still some drift when importing it, but nothing that changes the real state of VM and we are currently on it! https://github.com/vatesfr/terraform-provider-xenorchestra/releases/tag/v0.40.0 Golang SDK for Xen Orchestra v1.17.0 v2 The network service is now available from the v2 client! You can now create, get and delete your network directly from it! v1 & v2 The template value in VM struct params has been fixed, We can now get the template id directly from it. https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-go-sdk/releases/tag/v1.17.0

    @olivierlambert said in file restore on large backups ends in print_req_error: I/O error's: Yes, that sounds the next step to do Something is wrong during the mount phase. Also check you have enough RAM in your XOA. Ok, filesystem checks out - as far as I can see having: Done full restore of VM from the same Delta image. Booted VM, logged in and done 'tar cvf /dev/null *' of the filesystem I'm trying to restore from - which ran to completion without error. I upped the RAM for XOA from default 2GiB to 16GiB and re-tried - and same result. I can try yet more RAM if needs be but would hope 16GiB is more than enough? The console error on XOA is more detailed than my install- so don't know if this helps: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev loop0, sector 8912912 op 0x00:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 1 prio class 0 Looks to be the same issue, just reported differently. You also (on both systems) get kernel chatter about "tasked blocked" (understandable, as it is).

    @olivierlambert said in Can't restore VM's from 'read-only' remote?: A remote (now Backup repository) is meant to write backups into it. If you aren't able to write, then, sure, you can restore but you won't be able to backup anything. Yes, understand that - I'll have to re-test here, but I'm sure when it was 'read-only' - I couldn't restore anything from it, as nothing showed up in XO's "Backup / Restore' list of backups... The remote was mounted on two systems - hence why made R/O for one of them (this was just for testing restores).

    @Zevgeny Did you succeed to remove the protection with "xe vm-param-clear"? It didn't worked perfectly for me. Before I use xe vm-param-clear, I have the following: [18:28 xcpng02 ~]# xe vm-param-list uuid=37b7a201-eb45-b7de-5ce4-da25b1c7b547 | grep block blocked-operations (MRW): pause: true; hard_shutdown: true; (unknown operation): true; hard_reboot: true; clean_shutdown: true; suspend: true; clean_reboot: true [18:28 xcpng02 ~]# Now I try to clean: [18:28 xcpng02 ~]# xe vm-param-clear uuid=37b7a201-eb45-b7de-5ce4-da25b1c7b547 param-name=blocked-operations The value given is invalid field: blocked_operation value: (unknown operation) [18:28 xcpng02 ~]# After, "blocked-operations" looks like this: [18:28 xcpng02 ~]# xe vm-param-list uuid=37b7a201-eb45-b7de-5ce4-da25b1c7b547 | grep block blocked-operations (MRW): (unknown operation): true; hard_reboot: true; clean_shutdown: true; suspend: true; clean_reboot: true [18:30 xcpng02 ~]# In the GUI of XOA, the "Protect from accidental shutdown" is removed but not on the command line.

    I think this is important. When the issue appears the replicated VM that auto-starts has the [IMPORTING] prefix as in the image below. [image: 1689001402269-130e1c45-ad28-4b6c-a4d7-202b552ab723-image.png]

    @pdonias Hi, On Master, as of yesterday, I see this only when I am logged in using an IP address on the URL instead of the hostname. Either way it is SSL with trusted certificate. There are no console errors Browser is Microsoft Edge on Windows No difference in behaviour between incognito mode and normal. Yes I see all the VMs There is an improvement - now if I am creating a new VM only the selected network is reverting back to default when it refreshes, the other things like number of cores and ram is remaining when I set it, whereas previously these also were wiped back to default every 20 seconds or so. Thanks Alex

    Yeah for doing a fresh start it's easiest to just nuke the backup directory you were using and start over, have done it before and it's quick and easy vs trying to manually remove them all within XOA.

    @ronivay, I resolved my problem with orchestra which did not want to make backup with NFS. Orchestra wrote errors like: Command failed with exit code 1: mount -o -t nfs 192.168.11.53:/backups/xo /run/xo-server/mounts/0e5e9511-8912-48d4-96ad-532979533332 mount: only root can use "--options" option In general, orchestra tried to use mount option "--options" but mount command rejected this option. When I mount my NFS-shares manually everything was ok - mount works, read-write too, umount also. I did simplest process. I removed at all "--options" from mount command. (As far as I understand, *BSD mount will not work without this option but my Ubuntu works). Background: xcp-ng server (centos 8.2) as NFS server ubuntu server 16.04 where orchestra is going to be placed Orchestra installed 10 days ago from sources according to https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/installation.html#from-the-sources I complete followed document before chapter "Installing dependencies". I made yarn Then, before "yarn build", I manually edited file: /opt/xen-orchestra/@xen-orchestra/fs/src/_mount.js at string 68 I replaced await this.#execa('mount', ['-o', options, '-t', type, device, realPath], { with await this.#execa('mount', ['-t', type, device, realPath], { I then proceeded to follow the instructions: yarn build a so on... Now "patched" orchestra fine makes any kind of backup with NFS. At least, I solved this problem. Yet another question appeared as backup works What kind of Backup should I use to make full copy which enough for restoring (Heaven forbid)? I tried simply "Backup". It SUCCESSFULLY (!) created several files with 56 kbytes (no giga, no mega but kilo). I suppose it abnormal. My VM has got 20 Gb of disk space and about one half is already used (ubuntu server, postgres etc). As far as I understand (https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/7034/backup-with-local-usb-hdd-attached-sr_operation_not_supported/5?_=1688120707451) my version of xcp-ng (8.2.1) does not support "Snapshots" with local disks. Now I copy imagine of my VM with cron as temporary option but may be there is some more correct backup option?
