    The update fails and only gives an error saying there was an issue and to review the specific log file. I have tried updating the OS and all files (still running bookworm). When I review the log file it appears as pretty much gibberish to me. Suggestions? Should I post/attach the log file? (don't see an option to attach the file)

    @bleader Hopefully the palm print on my forehead isn't visible from where you are sitting. Of course the interface needs an IP address. In my defense, normally for something like this, I wouldn't put it on the bonded interface with all the trunked VLAN's for guest traffic (we don't give that one an IP) and it would go on the other bonded interface that isn't trunked and does get an IP, but these are test hosts and I didn't set up the other bond, so it is pulling double duty. I was able to set the IP's and get SDN working. Thanks!

    Not sure If correct but the vhd-tool check seem quite basic. Looks like it only do kind of a "wrapper" check and not a full integrity check $ vhd-tool check 4156d2ea-d39d-436d-b89f-06ad64949c53.vhd 0 START of section 'footer_at_top' 1ff END of section 'footer_at_top' 200 START of section 'header' 5ff END of section 'header' 600 START of section 'BAT' 195ff END of section 'BAT' 67a00 START of section 'locator block 0' 67bff END of section 'locator block 0' 67c00 START of section 'locator block 1' 67dff END of section 'locator block 1' 67e00 START of section 'locator block 2' 67fff END of section 'locator block 2'

    Edit: For anyone with this issue, stopping and starting the Openmetrics plugin after saving the password in XO fixed it. I keep getting the {"error":"Query authentication does not match server setting"} problem, is there something I'm missing? I run XO proxied through Nginx with HTTPS, is there some additional config required to get it working? I have set the key with openssl rand -hex 32 and have verified that is saved correctly in the plugin, and that I am using the same key for curl. I am able to obtain the /health endpoint as expected, I just cannot obtain the full metrics, only returns that error. Command: curl --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer mytoken" https://xo.mydomain.local/openmetrics/metrics XO commit: 91c5d I should note that running the command inside my Docker container returns only the error, including the health endpoint. Do I need to expose 9004?

    @danp thank you, but in our case the 2nd remote is a hypervisor? I dont know how we should run the backup first then copy the VHD files to the the 2nd hypervisor as continuous replication also creates a VM? I am sure that if I can limit the amount of VM's that is exported once (it's currently 2) then the backups for the large VM should complete. Is there a setting available for this?

    Thanks both, agreed, in hindsight this should be configured on the VM itself as it could lead to unexpected issues (like maintenance and having VM's start by themselves) Thanks for the input

    Here is a good explanation: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xencenter/7-1/dmc-about.html Static can only be set while the VM is offline. Dynamic can be changed in live. When you'll live migrate a VM, it will be decreased to the dynamic min. So take care to use a value that's higher than your VM operating system minimum RAM usage.

    That's a way to do it. Use smart backup on tags. Eg a tag called "delta only" and a tag "delta+CR", so you'll be sure to assign the right tag to your VM

    No. The parent folder. XO will search for the folder xo-vm-backups directly edit: if your share was previously <NFS_IP>:/myshare, then you should use this very same one, and NOT <NFS_IP>:/myshare/xo-vm-backups

    There's 2 reasons: XAPI doesn't tell us if the transfer is complete or just cut. We just stop to receive chunks, and after a bit, we decide that's it, there's no more data to send (that's the normal behavior even when it works!) XVAs are hard to validate, depending on various factors. We do a VHD validation (so for delta backup) but XVAs are another thing

    On the remote side, right? It won't be "dedup" if it's your question (for now at least). We are thinking on a smart way to dedup it efficiently It's not trivial because we don't have a lot of control on the host itself, but we might find solutions.

    @nraynaud well i just used the datastore browser to download the vmdk. i did the same thing with some other (smaller) VMs without any problems. All of this from the same ESXi host. Thanks for looking into it though, i will try the export VM way next but have to find the right time for a shutdown ...

    That's correct @mauzilla We use a VHD chain on destination so it's equivalent to get "snapshots" of a VM So it's delta everywhere with the same full parent for the same original VM.
