@henri9813 hello, thnaks for the feedback. I propose that you open a git feature in xen orchestra project so we can add it to our roadmap. Have a good day

Changing python system wide on XCP-ng shows that the appliance nature of XCP-ng is really not well understood.

@McHenry hello, thanks for the report. Can you open a suggestion on Github so we can plan it or next roadmap? Have a good day.

I got this error on a backup, that the VM was created on 8.2 but at this point the hosts are both updated to 8.3. Is there something I am missing? I am new-ish to XCP/Xen, but really liking it. Not sure what other info to include here. I was trying to do DR. I am trying CR now, and assuming it will work based on your conversation. I don't think I really need CR in this case, I am probably only backing up this VM once a year.

@McHenry xo-cli backupNg.getLogs --json limit='json:500' should work ( the command line parameter are considered as string )

@vmpr there is a high chance that we improve the scheduler , so maybe be able to plan more precisely when the full occurs, but we will always keep one full backup as the beginning of the chain You can mitigate the risk on infinite schedule by using health check : restoring the backup automatically after the job, this ensure that , at the time of backup, the files are correct, and that if an issue occurs in the backup you can start a new chain, thus detecting a backup storage issue before needed it after having a production issue

@olivierlambert Hyper-V has the concept of Dynamic memory as documented below. This allows a startup mem value to be specified and something similar could be used for health checks as this is only needed for the network to connect then them VM gets killed.

@Greg_E Not sure what or why, but fresh install of everything in my lab has allowed a successful "standard" backup, I'll get into the other flavors when I have a chance as I build the lab back out. [image: 1745247353511-stuckbackup4.png]

@olivierlambert for what concern backup, I think you should ping @florent for XO-5...

@manilx we will consider it in XO-6 to improve the backup view, thanks for you reply

Question for @lsouai-vates

We ran into the same issue as well. We removed ALL snapshots of this vm and then it started working again. Comes at a cost since we had to remove the non-backup-related snapshots as well...

Great! Enjoy

Hi @florent Here is the log. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y3bPuyQPfYKHH54mIniyHBZ9Mloqjeec/view?usp=share_link Thanks!

Ping @thomas-dkmt

Hi, This error comes directly from XAPI (XCP-ng) and not from XO. Sadly, XAPI doesn't give much details…

@thomas-wood "Remotes" are for XO backups and SR are for VM Storage. Once you add a SR to a pool it's available to all hosts. Also, all hosts should be able to access the IP of the NFS server before setting that up. I have a video explaining storage in XCP-ng here: https://youtu.be/xTo1F3LUhbE?si=QHYkABgElsEVOj6H

This is not a backup but a replication
