    In case anyone wonders how this played out. At the end of the day, I shutdown the host with the running workloads on it, kept it at BIOS boot so the 8.3 installer would upgrade it cleanly, and then booted it back up. For reasons related to my particular setup, the down time was more than 60 minutes. But that's not related to XCP-ng. The XCP-ng installer was maybe 10 of that. 20 of that was 3 reboots on a server that takes ages to boot. One thing that is a bit difficult is that the 8.3 installer doesn't notice ZFS volumes or help with ZFS. So after the upgrade, I have to follow a modified set of these instructions (modified because the package names have changed over time) to install ZFS and its components into the system. So the sequence is: Shutdown Install via ISO Reboot to single user mode Run yum update to pull in all the updates Run the ZFS commands to install ZFS on the host Reboot again Run normally Of course, I ended up rebooting more than just those 2 times, because I forgot that I would need to install ZFS (even though I did it on 2 different hosts already ) So now the pool is fully upgraded, everybody is happy. I'm now working on creating shared storage across the nodes. It's amateur hour over here. I appreciate all the help.

    @Pilow I will take a look in deep later, but the key/delta and disk usage is set during backup, even if they are merged during LTR retention

    @probain Your role seems to neither install or pin node js itself so it does not fully follow the official steps from Xen Orchestra docs. Xen Orchestra docs state to use LTS node js - installing it is something that the the ronivay XO script does. Due to this part missing in your role it can not be executed on a freshly provisioned VM, something that is not really best practice. A role that was made for the purpose of deploying a software should also install / manage it's dependencies. Other than that, thanks for sharing your role. Every contribution towards this community is great IMO.

    Saving Backup Remote Data Causes XOA To Disconnect From XCP-ng Servers Temporarily

    @Danp I'll do some more digging on this once I have some time and see if I can find anything in the logs. I didn't have a chance to look yesterday when I was working on this. It might be worth noting that I was trying to setup an S3 remote, not sure if it would happen with another one and maybe it has something to do with timing out (was trying to hook into Backblaze which doesn't seem to be working right either, works fine on all my other machines running TrueNAS and stuff but can't get it connected with XCP-ng, other S3 places like Wasabi and Amazon work fine though). I'll update this thread with more info once I do some more testing, might have time this weekend but not sure yet, and this is in a production environment, so I do want to be careful about causing potential issues.

    Zstd is for XVA file format compression. There's no compression on delta, because we need to merge them on destination, when retention is reached (inside the backup repository). So it doesn't really worth it (since you'll have to decompress them to do the merge).

    Problems with trying to recover data after full local storage

    Hello, mtill ! In this situation, you may try to recover the stored data on the RAM because, in your case, the data was overwritten in the RAM. The number of recovered files by this method depends on the RAM size, the size of files that was overwritten by this way and by the time running this process. I can suggest you use a specialized recovery service like raid recovery service to ensure that you will restore more data you can. I wish you a bit of good luck.

    I agree, I don't think it's a technical limitation, just a use case not "covered"

    Oh okay, it's a problem on restore. Then there's something wrong on the backup chain. Any hint @julien-f ?

    @cyrus104 Hi, No, there is no way to enable HA at XO level and it is on purpose. Enabling HA as to be taken very seriously, it can cause pool wide crippling issues so we considerer doing it through CLI and be aware of what you really do being mandatory.

    That would be easier if you open a ticket so we can use our remote access tunnel to take a look

    You would have to write a daemon, listing for webhooks, parse it, and then send it to Mattermost with the expected payload.

    I would suggest to NOT expose the host directly on the outside. Especially such an old version with a lot of security issues.

    @olivierlambert said in Migrating from Intel -> AMD: I don't know, but what I can tell is the fact I myself migration my own production from Intel to AMD without any issue, so I really wonder why your guest can't boot Well it's weird... because happens with all Ubuntu 16 hosts too. For this Debian in particular, even after upgrading to bullseye, still won't boot on any AMD host, only on Intel ones. Finally I just reinstalled from scratch on an AMD host and migrated the data.
