    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.

    Hi, If you want to change the background color, you need to update the $side-menu-bg: #044b7f; in ~/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-web/src/index.scss . Best regards.

    That's precisely the difference: a delta backup is stored in a remote, a CR is stored in an SR.

    Not a huge deal currently, but if I had a number of VDI's spread out, it could exeed any single available space which means I cant restore at all... Can this be done in an alternative way via CLI?

    What does your cloud config logs show on the guest OS after boot? Can you see if it has made any attempt to inject the config? Only thing I can think of is that your cloud config might be wrong thus the cloud init service is refusing it. Have you tried to use an ubuntu image? I used official images of both debian 10 and ubuntu 18.04 and worked fine once I got rid of the pre-populated network config or inserted a real network config. I spent too long trying to figure out what was going on so let me know if there's anything else you need to know, it's super frustrating.

    Question: Delta backup retention vs. full backup interval

    @Vinylrider your understanding is correct, delta retention is just how many deltas to keep before merging the oldest delta with the full. Full backup interval is the time between each new full back up for use in case of corrupted back up. To answer your question, yes it is recommended to have more than 1 full back up to fall back to in the event of corruption espcially of delta backups since delta backups rely on previous deltas meaning if one of your delta is corrupted, you'll loose all data from that point onward until another full backup is made, or worse your full backup could be corrupted (more likely because of the file size) then you loose the whole chain. And if your corrupted delta is merged with the full, you'll probably have a corrupted chain aswell.

    @aghering the [NOBAK] option only excludes the transfer process, it will still try to make a snapshot of the disks. There are many possible causes for your UNIMPLEMENTED IN SM BACKEND issue, the most likely causes are probably storage related. If it is not a critical VM, you can try to disconnect the second storage disk and try again. If that doesn't work you might have to forget the SR and try (you can reattach it again, just need to remember your sr-uuid. Also, your /var/log/SMlog might reveal something.

    Makes sense now that you mention it... Perhaps I should have realized that because obviously the backups only run on my primary XO instance. Thanks!
