    Hello. Thank you for your input. I am aware, that this is more of a warning message, than a error. I´m just trying to figure out, what is my best way to go here. My plan was: Setup a repljob for the vm in a lets say hourly interval On the day of the migration, shutdown the vm and start the last replication manually Disable the cr job Start the replicated vm on the new pool, check it and if all is ok, use it as new vm, otherwise start the old vm. The documentation says "If you want to start a VM on your destination host without breaking the CR jobs". Tbh i dont care about breaking the job. If everything works fine, i dont need it anymore, if not, i can setup a new job pretty fast. I was just wondering, if the new vm will stay in "blocked mode" for ever. Kind regards

    @florent Thanks for your reply! We have started to migrate thousands of VMs, so disk transfer speed is important for us.. We will also do our detailed tests soon with different threads setting and publish it here. I think threads=1 is a good and logical default, but not efficient. Others might complain if you set it to a higher value. Configuration option would be a real good solution.

    We have been doing a fair bit of testing on our side with this client, and we have discovered it appears to be an ISP issue of some kind. What we are finding is utilizing iperf utility a single TCP stream appears to be capping out around 40Mbps on a 1Gbps fiber circuit. In iperf if we run multiple streams, each stream will be right around 40Mbps, so 4 streams we will get around 160Mbps throughput to our DR location. Testing on the clients' secondary providers fiber circuit we run just fine. Little outside of XCP-ng and XOA here and battling that out with our ISP But that does lead me to a general question about replication. Is the data mover process a single TCP stream per disk? If so, is there any way to do a multi stream per disk? Thanks

    @poddingue Confirmed working, thank you so much for the heads-up, this made my day! Got it wired into the n8n flow and it's running perfectly. One gotcha for anyone else landing here, name_description gets rejected with a 422 "excess property", it has to be nameDescription. Working body: { "nameDescription": "nginx, app-1, app-2 | 2026-06-01" }

    @olivierlambert said in Backup-NG Error "invalid header checksum" after VM-Disk-Resize and reaching retention Limit.: So the issue appeared just when the oldest extended delta had to be merged in the full I suppose. This is exact, but we need to have a proper process to reproduce it. This might be related to: increasing the size of the disk above a certain threshold increasing the content of the disk above a certain threshold

    After: mount 192.168.10.6:/mnt/raid/nfs /mnt/jan and i look with mount i get this: 192.168.10.6:/mnt/raid/nfs on /mnt/jan type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=10.211.55.19,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.10.6) So its working. After manual typing what XO tried: mount -t nfs 192.168.10.6:/mnt/raid/nfs/backup /mnt/jan -o vers=3 I get the same error: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.10.6:/mnt/raid/nfs/backup So the “-o vers=3" option is the problem. Can i edit a file in XO to get rid of the “-o vers=3” option? SOLVED In XO i used the option -o vers=4 and this works.

    @olivierlambert said in Continuous Replication fails with VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors) on fresh XOA install after XenServer 7.2 -> XCP-ng 8.0 upgrade: To your config file, yes. Where this config file is depends on where do you installed Xen Orchestra (I suppose from the sources, so I can't guess where do you installed, could be anyware ) edit: I think it's fixed now and integrated by default in the config Great, this fix already is in the new version. I was having this problem (Error: VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors)) and was not be able to do CR of my VMs but now CR works. Thank you PS: BTW that was my config file

    @olivierlambert xcp-ng Center displays it properly, so yeah, it must be the way XO is pulling data. [image: 1565959684237-cpu.jpg] Oh well. Not a big deal. Just was curious. Thanks Olivier!

    When you click on the link of the error message it should send you to the official documentation, explaining what it means: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/backup_troubleshooting.html#error-messages I'm not sure to understand the UI question, can you post a screenshot?

    cloud-init Network configuration

    Do you mean to say when you edit the network config box, and fill it out with your own network info (adhering to this standard: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/network-config-format-v1.html) that cloudinit in the vm gives a yaml error? This indicates the way you filled out the entry box is not properly formatted. Keep in mind to pass networking info, your cloudinit install in your template VM needs to be set to use nocloud data sources, and keep in mind the network configuration passed via cloud-init is added to the template VM, not replaced, so you need to properly configure your template VM to not already have adapters configured with IP addresses etc

    Yes, you are right infact the old instances are halted and are temporarily kept till I am not sure the imported ones are perfectly working on new node. Unfortunately in the meantime I need a way to manage boths and it means xencenter or cli. Thanks for having pointed my attention to the duplicated uiids problem.

    See me previous post here -- https://xen-orchestra.com/forum/post/5072 I'm guessing that you were missing the symlinks for the plugins, otherwise they should have been present in XO.

    I think the simplest way to just do this once is to go to Settings > Config, there you can export the backup. Once you create your new instance of XOCE, you can import the backup using the same page, then just logout of the default user, and you can login using your old credentials. Make sure to delete the admin@admin.net account after.

    So you can't create a backup with XOA Free. This edition is meant for all usual administrative tasks, like XCP-ng Center if you like. If you want backup features, 2 choices: going for XOA Starter, Enterprise or Premium depending on your backup needs. See each edition features here: https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/featuresmatrix (each edition comes with pro support, updater and remote SSH access if needed) install XO from the sources on a system you like, following our guide: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/from_the_sources.html

    @axel I just ran the installation script on a Debian 10 VM and it worked as expected. Even when using the "official" way, sometimes the installation can fail due to things like -- issues with recent commit to github repo issues with upstream dependency etc This is why the pre-built XOA appliance exists. Feel free to open an issue over on the script's Github repo if you continue to encounter issues.

    This is a 3rd party container not validated nor endorsed by XO devs. We don't know what's inside, if you have questions on it, ask on the Github repo of the maintainer Backup reports will answer your initial question/requirement (reports can be sent by email, Slack etc.) There's also a Nagios plugin, or you can use XO API to make request to be support in any software of your infrastructure Monitoring a Docker container is outside scope of XO, I would suggest to ask Docker community. Regarding XO and how backup are done, any fresh XOA deployed (or from the sources) will be able to find all the previous backup done by an old XOA, because we store every info on the remote.
