    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!

    @olivierlambert said in Netbox 4.3 not supported: Ping @pdonias Looks like this keeps happening because of Netbox! - Have you experienced a lot of issues if we force it to work with newer versions, I understand there's potential data loss but just wondered if it had been observed to cause major issues with data loss recently? I am considering doing this on ours. Just working out where I need to put the change!

    @nikade i think the problem is its using the mgmt interface to do the backup..its not touching the 10GB nics.. when i set it under Pools/Adanced/Backup to use the 10gb nic as default the job fails... setting it back to none the job is successful with a speed of 80 MiB/s.. so using the 1GB mgmt nic... how do i get the backups to use the dedicated 10gb link then. ?

    Indeed, I have 39 commits behind... I can't do it now, as I have several users working on it. I'll do this before next week, I come back if it's changing something.

    @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.

    Hi, It's possible to do it using the UI, simply create a schedule with 7 as Backup retention and 2 as Replication retention. [image: 1581581696403-fd938a54-8730-4bcf-85c3-7caf2018ac52-image.png]

    Because there's a ton of dependencies, and we try to decouple things, this work takes time. We should be able to run on a more recent version of Node soon, and when it will be the case, our doc will be updated accordingly. That's exactly why we can't support 3rd party installers. Our doc might change and during the interval, if the 3rd party installer isn't following, then it will break.

    OK, seems I wasn't trying hard enough. I was trying to mount the tools under the iso list, but when I look further down the list to xc-ng Tools it turns out I can mount the tools from there as long as I do it manually (mount /dev/sr0 /media/blahblah). Installed now, all good.

    There's no tool to "merge" old forum or fetch old message. So for few months we'll still have old XO forum then it will be automatically redirected to the XO category here.

    It's just a missing info in a config file of the appliance. Not a big deal, just surprising to see that now, despite the fact it was there before.

    XO Delta Backup Fails to Local Storage Mounted via NFS

    Hi, So I tried using the NFS target remotes but the speed of transfer was very poor even though the connection from XO to the NFS server is over 10Gbe. XO is on the same XCP-ng host as the VMs being backed up. This XCP-ng server is connected to the NFS mount over 10Gbe network: [image: 1581002643082-56cc5a0a-e633-443b-9a50-6575ef5cddaf-image.png] Here is the NFS Remotes setting in XO to the backup server (FreeNAS) at IP 10.10.2.3:[image: 1581002745614-046fcdaa-8788-4d69-aa00-c1620a0afb46-image.png] The backup logs show extremely low transfer speed: [image: 1581001993532-b51d304d-2fb6-472f-8eb9-0dbec967d49c-image.png]

    @olivierlambert Thanks again for the reply. I’m looking into it more. I think I need to add the storage directly to the VM running XO. I was trying to use a drive connected to a drive on my local network. Though it says it can talk to the drive, it does not reach it. I’m trying now to add an NFS to the XO server.

    You can avoid transferring some disk data with the [NOBAK] title in the VM disk. However, a VM snapshot isn't capable of ignoring a disk. This would require a change either in the way we do backup in XO (not using VM.snapshot, but VDI.snapshot instead) or modify XCP-ng API to support VM.snapshot with excluded disk. The first option will make quiesce snapshots impossible. The other one is a bit more complicated to realize, but not impossible. The issue already exists in our bug tracker: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/2560 julien-f created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed [Full backups] Supports `[NOBAK]` #2560

    This may be related to https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/282 My guess is that the tools ISO was mounted into the XO VM, then updates were applied to the host that contained an update of the tools ISO, which led to the XO VM having an non-existing tools ISO still mounted. I have made a change in 8.1 to avoid that (eject all tools ISOs after updating the ISO, not just from shutdown VMs), and testing will tell us whether that's a good solution. To solve the situation, you usually just need to eject the ISO with xe vm-cd-eject, not xe vm-cd-remove, as @tuxen said. If you had a snapshot of the VM before removing the CD drive, I think restoring it should bring the CD drive back and then you can eject the CD with xe vm-cd-eject... Unless restoring the snapshot also fails. Else as tuxen said you need to recreate a CD/DVD device and attach it to the VM. iw0der created this issue in xcp-ng/xcp closed This operation cannot be performed because the specified virtual disk could not be found #282

    It's pretty simple: just replace "xva" in the image by VHD and that's it. Otherwise it's explained https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/delta_backups.html If you still have questions, let me know
