    @poddingue Yes multipath is enabled and we have two target ips. When I scan the target it calls the sr.probeIscsiIqns method and return the iqns in the dropdown as *(ip,ip) and on the select of *(ip,ip) it calls sr.probeIscsiLuns method. Both method take time to return the response. 90+ LUNs will be listed in the Lun dropdown after 4-5 minutes. Then On selection of LUN with respect to the id it calls sr.probeIscsiExists to validate the LUN, this method also take 1-3 minutes. After all this on create button click if then calls a method sr.createIscsi . This takes too much time too. I have a pool of 3 hosts and all servers have verified connectives to the SAN Storage. If you need any information regarding this, I will be happy to share.

    @mpiton Thanks for looking into this, I guess it wasn't apparent that I needed to click the Save Configuration button for that plugin. I did that and confirmed that the secret now survives an xo-server restart. Thanks again!

    @poddingue Borrow away - "smoke alarm" is a better name for it than anything we had, so we might borrow it right back. Since you mentioned reading the matrix - here is the classification you would be reading, straight from the file: grep access: dadl/xen-orchestra.dadl | sort | uniq -c 49 access: admin 21 access: dangerous 122 access: read 75 access: write 122 of the 267 tools are plain read - that is the entire surface a review-capped agent gets. The other 145 exist in the same file, but for that agent they might as well not. The whole security taxonomy is greppable plaintext - which is rather the point of a declarative format. And if anything in the matrix looks wrong or missing, this thread is exactly the right place - real-world corrections are how it improves.

    New releases! Terraform Provider Xen Orchestra v0.40.0 This new release allows users to import VMs directly from Xen Orchestra into Terraform without recreating it or modifying manually the Terraform state. There is still some drift when importing it, but nothing that changes the real state of VM and we are currently on it! https://github.com/vatesfr/terraform-provider-xenorchestra/releases/tag/v0.40.0 Golang SDK for Xen Orchestra v1.17.0 v2 The network service is now available from the v2 client! You can now create, get and delete your network directly from it! v1 & v2 The template value in VM struct params has been fixed, We can now get the template id directly from it. https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-go-sdk/releases/tag/v1.17.0

    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

    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.

    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

    For the moment I've had to create several backup jobs instead of one big backup it's e.g. servers01-06, 07-12, 13-18. Which isn't ideal as it's harder to manage, but is what it is!

    Hard to say from just a screenshot. What version of XO are you running? How long did you wait for the logs to load? Did you try refreshing the page? FWIW, I've noticed that XO seems to take longer to load this page than it did previously. P.S. Technically, you aren't running XOA (the pre-built XO appliance).
