    @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?

    I ran into something VERY similar with XCP-ng and\or XOA a while back - ended up with close to 200 new "clients" showing up on my Meraki gear. They weren't even "connected" long enough to register as IP clients, only MAC clients (ARP, possibly). I didn't think much about it at the time, as both the MAC addresses and hardware information didn't seem to be tied to any actual device by some manufacturer. I may be able to pull those out from my client history... EDIT: Here is a small section of that list: [image: 1556589256050-fc439a0c96cb13a0b2b11b3bd80ff3be.png]

    To get assistance on XOA, since you have support, it's better to go with our support ticket system. This way, you can be sure to have an answer with direct developer access in a guaranteed amount of time. Please open a ticket here: https://support.vates.fr/#/tickets XOA isn't dealing on what's inside on the VM: it's an hypervisor-level agentless backup solution. As soon you create the ticket, we'll take a more in-depth look about details (what kind of backup are you using? Delta or full etc.) and also if there anything special we could do at our level.

    I don't know what's the /xen path? Install via this docker isn't the official/documented way, so it's hard to assist. Please try to build it according the doc and double check if reverse work as documented too. Otherwise, it's an issue of the Docker you use with our doc, so you'll better time to create an issue on the 3rd party "installer".

    It depends where you decided to install it (basically where you cloned to repo). Also remove the redis database if it's only used for XO.

    If you didn't, I strongly suggest that you watch the live YT webinar I did on XO backups. IIRC, there is a part talking about smart backup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfUqIwT8KzI

    You have a problem on your XCP-ng, this is not related to a XO issue. It's stuck doing a snapshot, which is really a basic operation that shouldn't fail at all. Double check your SMlog on the host.

    It looks like I can remove the remotes and set them up again, and configure the backup jobs to address the new share. That's okay, there are not too many.

    You need one XOA, connected to both pools. It will stream the VM content (delta) from the source to the destination. You don't need any directly link between your SR in both DCs. You DCs can be isolated with just one XOA connected to both, and it will work.

    No XCP-ng/XenServer workaround, it's a "built-in"/by design limitation (it's considered as "stalled"). So your goal would be to avoid these extremely long tasks (ie: to finish before the task is destroyed)

    You'll end up with a chain, yes (so every read will need to make "hops" on each member of the chain). Longer the chain, slower the operation. But it shouldn't be too catastrophic either (for a heavily IOPS loaded VM, you'll notice the difference, but not in other less IOPS hungry scenarios)

    No, because those logs are useful in case of problem (to find a potential bug). However, they are garbage collected automatically (the oldest ones) after a while.

    All I can tell is that's not an usual issue. Never heard of problem of this kind before… So yeah, there is something weird. Could be related to NFS permissions maybe, or something between XCP-ng and your NFS host. It's not XCP-ng code directly, because otherwise everyone else using NFS will endure the same problems. So it's more a "combo" between XCP-ng and your NFS within your infrastructure. Please read the wiki on where to check logs (especially SMlog) to spot potential hints on where's the issue.
