    @paco I think it's the first time someone asks this, which is surprising to me, because CBT enabled + local storage may not be such a rare thing. I wasn't aware of this blocking situation. We'll need to evaluate it, document it, and if possible find a way to avoid it. In your situation, if all you've done is upgrading the pool master, I would advise to boot the upgrade ISO again and use it to restore the 8.2 backup that was made automatically during the upgrade. Then boot the master again, disable CBT on all your disks, and start again with the upgrade.

    Feel free to create a trial on an XOA, test stable and latest and tell us. It might be also related to your environment, but if it works at some commit and not later, it's weird. @florent & @bastien-nollet maybe?

    @cichy said in DevOps Megathread: what you need and how we can help!: Prioritization of VM startup AND shutdown sequencing! PLEASE - in the GUI (XO). So - without code - I can finally shutdown my servers accessing DB's prior to shutting down the DB server vm's themselves thereby saving myself from table corruption. @cichy In the past it was recommended to do this with an vApp and script. However this means editing the script or configuration file (if one’s created for the script). Which doesn’t make it as easy as the method, used by VMware ESXi for configuring the order and enabling the capacity. Xen Orchestra and/or XCP-ng could really do with an UI (and API) based method of setting up and managing the VM boot and shutdown order.

    Right now there's no way to know what's happening inside a VM disk. So we can't know when a VM disk is full or not.

    I had similar problems in 8. Even though I had static leases set in DHCP, oftentimes services come up before the IP address has been obtained. The physical console and SSH worked, but not XOA nor XCP center. Set a static IP address and reboot. If that does not work, repeat the installation and set a static IP at install. Make sure your IP address has not changed and look at the lease time. Is it only leased out for a few minutes? Here is where we discussed it for version 8: Broken Host Consoles in fresh xcp-ng 8 installation. VM consoles work.

    Hi, No. Using UUIDs is vital to have consistent files (if you change the VDI or VM name etc.) Any XO, even a fresh one, is able to connect to your remote and restore your backup. So there's no need to access files directly.

    How to save Statistic from XOA when rebooting the XCP-NG Nodes?

    It should be the same result on XCP-ng Center: it uses RRDs files stored on the host. Why do you continue to talk about the after the reboot? You mean after the upgrade, right? RRDs are preserved after a reboot If you do a yum update, those stats should be in theory preserved. If it's not the case, try to diagnose why, by comparing behavior between XCP-ng Center and XO. If it's not the same, then it's a client issue. If it's the same, then it means a version upgrade (yum or ISO) won't preserve RRDs. If you really want long terms stats for "real production" usage on long term, I strongly suggest that you think to store them in a real time series database, like Prometheus or so.

    @dbeato Update on this. Basically I needed to run the Updates on the XCP-ng hosts even though they were on 8.1 and upgraded 5 packages. Once I did that since I had an Updated XOA system, then I reboot the servers and XOA and now backups are running!

    Nothing. You should have the stats visible in live (post-upgrade). That's it. If you don't, it might be because your nodes are behind a NAT.

    You can, but as I said, in this case, you'll need to move the storage with it. Unlike with a shared storage, where only the RAM is migrated between 2 hosts. So RAM only migration is really faster than storage motion, especially true if the VM is using a large disk.

    It's not Netdata "cloud" but yes you'll have all the hosts automatically appear in XOA local Netdata install (as soon there's data present)

    That's why checking XAPI logs might be interesting to know what's used to find it's a duplicate.

    That's an interesting use case, I don't know how we could set a high prio for that, obviously a pro support ticket might raise this. Feel free anyway to create an issue on XO Github bug tracker
