    @msupport said: @acebmxer You need two Disk with 300GB If this is a reply to my initial post. I have already got it installed. Where do you see this 300GB requirement? https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/em/system_requirements.html?ver=13 Disk Selection Logic: When selecting a disk for system and adjacent functions, Veeam Software Appliance automatically chooses an SSD over an HDD, and selects the smaller disk of the two available. The sizing recommendations for Disk 1 below remain valid for the system disk. Disk 1: 240 GB1 minimum. This disk hosts Veeam JeOS, Enterprise Manager Veeam Backup & Replication software, configuration database and instant recovery cache. Recommended sizing depends on the number of protected workloads. Sizing also accounts for configuration database growth as you add more workloads to protect: 480 GB1 SSD for small environments (up to a few hundred workloads). 960 GB1 SSD for medium-sized environments (up to a few thousand workloads). Multi-TB1 SSD for large environments. Larger capacity increases the disk space available to instant recovery cache, allowing for running more machines for longer time. Note: After Veeam Software Appliance deployment, adding new storage devices or resizing existing ones is not supported. Plan your disk capacity carefully before you start the deployment. Disk 2: 240 GB1 minimum. This disk hosts guest file system catalogs and backups, therefore recommended sizing depends on your backup storage needs. Any additional disks found in the system during Veeam Software Appliance deployment will be automatically joined with Disk 2 into the single Logical Volume Manager (LVM) spanned volume. This is only backing a few vms around 10 vms, and actual location is to nfs storage.

    @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

    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: 1635327169557-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).

    There's no issue nor restriction to replicate a shutdown VM. CR will work as long as the destination VM never booted (otherwise destination blocks will be modified, so you understand now why we should block boot except if you really know what you do )

    @ninghe Are A and B identical servers? No shared storage? Does it work if you use normal snapshot mode?

    Hi, It doesn't' work that way. XCP-ng is not capable of pushing any data by itself, it has to be pulled. That's exactly why we manage to build XO Proxies to solve this kind of common "enterprise" issue, when you have remote sites

    Doing a bit more hunting it seems like if we could get Arcserve to use the nolock option then that would likely solve the problem, but there's nowhere to add any options and the Arcserve Proxy itself uses the Windows NFS client behind the scenes. Right now we've worked around the problem by creating a separate, read-only SMB share pointing to the same location and using that for Arcserve instead. Our only concern now is what could happen if XO starts a job while Arcserve is still doing its own backup. Edit: I did a bit more Googling after posting the above and came across this thread: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/nfs-the-process-cannot-access-the-file-because-another-process-has-locked.12644/ ... which suggests that it's actually a long-standing TrueNAS bug. Buried within the comments is this suggestion: If you're having trouble with the NFS locking mechanism, and you would like to use the "NET USE" command, or the [WNetAddConnection] function to mount a NFS share without locking, there's an undocumented registry entry hidden in the NFSNP.DLL: "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Client for NFS\CurrentVersion\Users\Default\Mount" REG_DWORD "Locking" If the value is "0x0" then locking will be disabled globally. If the value is "0x1" then locking will ben enabled globally. We'll test it and report back.

    @cbaguzman hi, you could try a hard mount instead of soft, then it should constantly retry until it sees the mount again https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.6?topic=considerations-nfs-hard-soft-mounts

    @olivierlambert said in XO console keyboard on iOS and iPadOS - no input possible: No but it doesn't mean this won't be solved with a virtual keyboard anyway It would need to be able to trigger the built in iPad / iPhone keyboard for it to be properly usable.

    Whenever a server or pool is needed, so the field doesn't stay empty and requires manual selection. For example, when creating a new VM, the screen is empty with one line: Create new VM on: [pull down] The same goes for some other items but I don't click nearly as much so in particular for creating new VM's it would save some time if a default could be configured. Thanks!
