    Hello @ludalm13, Thanks for your contribution and sorry for not giving an answer earlier. We initially planned to review your PR while doing some additional work on the audit plugin, but our planning evolved and that work was postponed. We'll review your PR in the following days.

  • All XO backup features: full and incremental, replication, mirrors...

    Thanks, that helps. Some VMs fail to the Synology but pass to S3, and some the other way round. So I think the backups on Ark are probably fine (they pass health checks, as you said at the start) and it has more to do with what each target already holds, but I could be wrong. I'd also flag the several delta jobs with different retentions all feeding Ark, I just don't know the mirror code well enough to say whether that matters. @Team-XO-Backend, posts 6 and 10 have the log and the pattern if someone gets to this one.

    Hi, This was fixed in Latest. But if you need to stay on Stable, you can open a ticket to have a patch.

    For anyone else who steps through this, I've also installed the latest xen-guest-agent with the below process. Repeat for each host in the environment, 1 at a time from your Helper VM. ### ssh into your helper ### oc debug node/fedora-cmp-1/2/3 chroot /host cd /var/tmp curl -LO https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/jobs/6041686376/artifacts/raw/RPMS/x86_64/xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm sudo rpm-ostree install /var/tmp/xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm mkdir /var/tmp/xga && cd /var/tmp/xga rpm2cpio ../xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv ### From your helper... DRAIN YOUR WORKERS ### oc adm drain fedora-cmp-1/2/3 --ignore-daemonsets --delete-emptydir-data ### log back into fedora-cmp-1/2/3... ### sudo systemctl reboot ### from helper ### oc adm uncordon fedora-cmp-1/2/3 ### login to fedora-cmp-1/2/3 ### chroot /host sudo systemctl enable --now xen-guest-agent And then from XO this is what your VMs will look like.

    @olivierlambert said in Commands in Xen Orchestra Jobs no longer working: The best solution is to rely on XOA, you know I agree with @olivierlambert! Personally, I'm using XO from sources in my home lab environment -- nothing is "production" and I'm mostly having fun trying to give back to the open source community.

    @Danp - thank you. Yes, I did, but that was not helping in this case. Found the solution: Both machines are on a hostserver, which has NOT all networks. So the real reason must be a network problem, therefore a quite missleading error message After moving both VMs to the master of this pool (which is connected to the same network where the xoa resides), everything went fine. Same storage, same vhds.

    @indyj The file restore issue was due to installing XO on FreeBSD (fine for VM restores, not file extraction). I then installed XO on Ubuntu 20, and this worked for restoring files from Linux VMs but not Windows VMs. Then I installed on CentOS 8 and had the same problem as Ubuntu. I then installed on Fedora 34 and everthing works fine.

    Yes, it should be safe enough to try importing the backup, then starting the VM without network (ie VIFs) and see if it stays up for a few minutes. I think we could start by adding a manual feature and then see in a second step how we could automate it.

    Also, the user will be created only on first connection. Maybe you are thinking about the plugin in a way that's not how it behave.

    @olivierlambert many thanks for the very quick response, it is indeed XO from sources. I think the burst explanation makes sense. Also, thanks for you and your teams continued development and support with both XCP-NG and XO.

    What do you mean "how it works"? It's the same thing than before, just "isolated" from the rest, working in a... worker. And yes, the long run objective is the ability to run it as a service on the remote directly, reducing a lot the merge time (because latency is the worst enemy of merging).

    Backup does not work if one host in the pool is offline

    @olivierlambert said in Backup does not work if one host in the pool is offline: When you connect to a working, machine, yes it does But XAPI connection isn't persistent: it means, when the pool is disconnected, XO has no recollection whatsoever on who was the "real" master the last time it was connected. The only info we store is the IP address you entered in Settings/server. I agree, functionally speaking, it can be limiting in your case. A viable option would be to save all existing hosts IPs in the XO database, as fallback if we can't connect to the IP you entered. This is not a very common case, that's why it wasn't done before Looks like a good suggestion. Thanks. In my case I migrated everything from the poolmaster to the second host, then changed the second host to pool master, waited an hour and then shut down the old pool master (now just a pool member). XOA was online during the entire process and I had forgotten to check the server list.

    That's because the effort to change this will be taken into account in XO 6 Alternatively, you can indeed contribute, this will be very welcome!

    Hi ! We are experiencing these kind of problems because we activated Continous Replication and frequency was way too low. Now I want to eliminate all those files in the chain, can I do it manually from XCP-NG Center or XOA ? Thanks !!! [image: c2aa1fb3-2ed2-41cf-b242-e2a23e6832e4-image.png]

    It can't be done by XO, because XO is using XAPI to make all calls (there's no XAPI command to rename a file on the SR, also XO isn't connected via SSH, so there's 0 change it was caused by XO). So it was done manually at some point (check your host bash history).
