    No luck, I've tried building from source, using the script, etc. Following along with Google Gemini I even managed to get walked into the process of damaging the Xapi to the point of losing access to the server from Xen Orchestra / XCP-ng Center (unfortunately for me it was the Pool Master). Thankfully I had backups on my NAS and experienced minimal loses through the process of having to reinstall the operating system. At this point, I'm guessing my pool that dates back to version 8.1 is screwed up in some way beyond human or AI understanding. I have 2 Servers & 3 NAS units (2 TrueNas Scale) + 1 Synology that all work with the old version of Xen Orchestra but I can't get it to work with anything else. Manually putting the same info in or importing the configuration. One of the servers was rebuilt today and added back to the pool. Is it possible that reinstalling the OS on the other server could fix everything? I'm confused because the backups aren't failing from the old Xen Orchestra. Old: [image: 1756784257357-19e6f3da-3b22-4f7d-a47e-66d8216b3f8b-image.png] New: [image: 1756784292273-263493de-a5cb-4610-b7ba-ba173fe7b055-image.png] Any help and / or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Keep us posted when you are on master, then we'll try to reproduce the issue when we can.

    @manilx I have proposed to the IaC team of Vates, a MCP Server for Vates VMS. Which can be used by GitHub Copilot or similar, if used when doing IaC etc.

    @S-Pam said Isn't any SQL server crash safe? I.e. they should handle a system power-loss and gracefully recover (journals). A filesystem snapshot is equivalent of a power loss. You need to configure your databases accordingly. Most of maria/mysql have enabled innodb doublewrite enabled by default: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-doublewrite-buffer.html But just in case of Active Directory... I really really want to have consistent snapshot/backups

    Add Host to pool, is this non-destructive to local VM's?

    Yes. That would be a way of doing so. If you can afford the downtime, you could also use a backup solution (XOA, Alike DR, etc.) to backup the VMs from both hosts, build the pool from scratch using both hosts in a clean state, and then restore back into the new pool (this way gives you a chance to not only start fresh; but, implement any big "lessons learned" or "new ideas" you've got on your list).

    Ping @pdonias IIRC, it's not trivial but this is obviously something we'll working on for XO 6 (there's also limitation in XAPI, because it doesn't tell you what's going on for real behind a task)

    @bberndt said in Create job to migrate several VMs: Tring to create a job, to schedule the migration of several VMs to another host. At the bottom, there are a couple things I don't know. There are two check boxes here for each of these: mapVdisSrs mapVifsNetworks They don't seem to do anything. What are these? Also, what goes in the box Migration Network. The name storage1, or network1 don't work. thanks. Ah! the UUID of the storage Migration network on the destination is what I need, apparently.

    Check host logs to understand why. Maybe those VHD were attached to the control domain or something like that.

    @akurzawa xo-server is not explicitly multi-processed, but it uses async IO calls in Node which should lead to multi-threaded operations. Anyway, we are currently working on reimplementing backups for the proxy and it will eventually lead to using multiple processes. These changes will at the end be merged back to xo-server as well.

    If you create two separated jobs. One for the CR and one for the Rolling snapshot they will not interfere.

    OK the tasks (it been 8 hours since I've checked) are gone, but the VHDs localted on backup server's localstorage remains. QUESTION: How to delete VHDs that are not realted to any vm? I think it will not be deleted automatically. EG. For example - I've deleted "Atlas" VM, but big atlas VHD remains on BackupHost's local storage: [image: 1581667660068-666ed028-c8e0-4ae7-86f3-1a307f7eee76-image.png]
