    @Razor_648 While I was writing my previous message, I have been reminded that there are also issues with LVHDoISCSI SR and CBT, you should disable CBT on your backup job and on all VDI on the SR. It might help with the issue.

    @olivierlambert Hmm. It may just be easier to do a restore and export. I tried doing a file restore of / but I get a Cannot GET error when trying to download the tgz. I don't see anything in the UI to indicate what the problem is or if it actually created the tgz.

    @StephenAOINS This endpoint is not currently present in our REST API swagger, but we do plan to add it to the list of endpoints. We are currently finalizing the migration of existing endpoints, the next step will be adding new ones. We will keep you informed when it is available. Feel free to come back to us if you want to learn more and follow our blog posts. have a good day

    @olivierlambert @nathanael-h @Team-DevOps Please let me know if you have answers for any of the flollowing questions: Why JSON-RPC over websocket regularly returns not expected result for calls and what could be done with it? examples: method xo.getAllObjects sometimes returns empty result, but following: jsonrpc method params ------- ------ ------ 2.0 all @{type=enter; items=} On retry - everything is fine and we have all data jsonrpc result ------- ------ 2.0 @{bbdb1ed0-4c86-24ec-...=;..... method vm.copy sometimes returns only task with name_label host.get_server_certificate and no task async.vm.copy. Meanwhile copy operation is started in XEN Orchestra, so we have to separately search for the task currently running in all objects and if it is not there anymore suggest that it completed successfully. Afterwards we need to check if vm was copied and appeared in all objects. That is really frustrating as we have no info about successfully completed tasks in XEN - records just removed as nothing happen. most likely this happens due to other tasks being popped up in tasks at the same time and websocket call recives not its own responce, is it possible to workaround? What is correct syntax for JSON to run job.create method? Are there any article with supported methods for JSON-RPC calls and examples to use them? Calling for "system.getMethodsInfo" I can see "job.create": { "description": "Creates a new job from description object", "params": { "job": { "type": "object", "properties": { "userId": { "type": "string", "optional": true }, "name": { "type": "string", "optional": true }, "timeout": { "type": "number", "optional": true }, "type": { "type": "string" }, "key": { "type": "string" }, "method": { "type": "string" }, "paramsVector": { "type": "object", "properties": { "type": { "type": "string" }, "items": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object" } } }, "optional": true } } } }, "permission": "admin" }, But it is unclear what values should I provide to paramsVector and looking into the job created manually (in web interface) with method job.getall I can see 2 jobs [ { "type": "call", "name": "copyvm", "key": "generictask", "method": "vm.copy", "paramsvector": { "type": "crossproduct", "items": [ { "type": "set", "values": [ { "name": "nevm", "vm": "GUID", "sr": "GUID" } ] } ] }, "userid": "GUID", "id": "GUID" }, { "method": "vm.copy", "key": "vm.copy", "name": "copyvmjob", "type": "call", "userid": "GUID", "id": "GUID" } ] How can I create similar job myself if it is not possible to find out why vm.copy does not return async.vm.copy task info?

    @DukeVenator I suppose you've done that, but just in case I'lll ask: have you issued systemctl restart xo-server.service ? Firewall rules may need modyfying. What is the output of ufw status verbose ?

    @Danp No, I haven't as I never use non-LTS servers from Ubuntu, and most software and guides asks for LTS. I might test it later with 19.04 but my posting here was more for the sake of others as I imagine that I'm not the only one that has experienced this on Ubuntu so when I figured out that it works in Debian I figured others could get some help too. It might also point the developers in the right direction if they wish to look into this, I don't know how many users there are that have got this problem but at least there are some of us so it might be something to look at if not at least there is a posted alternative. Most would not change OS if all guides tell them that Ubuntu works so this was more meant as a PSA if nothing else.

    It's Javascript, so there's no really mandatory tools: Any text editor supporting editor config for basic rules formatting is a good start A GitHub account Same recommendation for the dev env than running XO from the sources: NodeJS 8 and yarn That's pretty much it.

    @cg it works on restored VMs from pre-fix backups. I haven't tested post fix backups yet. However, it also works on newly installed VMs.

    Hi! The new standard way to import is here: https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/xoa Let me know if you have any issue. It's still in beta yet, and we got one small issue to fix (it won't fetch the XO username/password, so it's still admin@admin.net / admin)

    Technically everything is possible (even adding disk) but not with the XOSAN UI. If you want more flexibility, I suggest you wait for XOSANv2.

    That's normal. If you boot the replicated VMs, then blocks will be changed. It mean no further delta replication will work on this VM. Force boot it if you lost the original VM and you don't care about delta toward the copy anymore. If you just want to test the VM without doing a new full (breaking the delta chain), boot with a copy. I think I explained that in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfUqIwT8KzI That's a display glitch.
