RE: VMs are abruptly getting shutdown
@lritinfra said in VMs are abruptly getting shutdown:
Our BIOS version is 2.72_09-29-2022.
Once again, you are not current on patching your systems as there have been 6 new BIOS releases since that one.

RE: VMs are abruptly getting shutdown
will the issue be resolved after the upgrade???
Maybe... but you won't know until you try it.
How can we determine the reason for virtual machines shutting down automatically?
If your hosts are failing, then that would explain why the VMs are shutting down.
- Which model of HPE servers are you running?
- What version of the BIOS is currently installed?
- What brand of NICs are installed?

RE: VMs are abruptly getting shutdown
This appears to be the same issue that you posted about back in January. Why haven't these hosts been updated to 8.2.1 and fully patched?

RE: VMs are abruptly getting shutdown
Is this only occurring with some VMs or all of them? Have you checked the logs for any clues? https://docs.xcp-ng.org/troubleshooting/log-files/

RE: Option to handle tags on restore
Hi KPS,
I think you have a couple of ways to tackle this --
- You could adjust your current API jobs to exclude VMs with the
restored from backup
tag - You could try using webhooks to clear the tags upon restoration of a VM.

RE: Veeam and XCP-ng
I do not think, there will be a "Veeam for XCP-ng". I think, we should hope and help to improve XOA.
My (constructive) critic points:
- Backup and restore speed should be higher
- Instant restore "pendant" is missing --> makes restore speed MORE critical
- No real "progressbar" on jobs!
- Maintenance-jobs not really visible at all (backup-merge!)
There is also one other thing, but I think, it can be handled mostly with additional agent-based-software:
- Application aware backups (active directory, sql, etc.)
--> So the main point is: You are currently not able to estimate the speed or progress of jobs until they are finished and you do not see maintence jobs

Option to handle tags on restore
Hi!
Is there any possibility to modify/exclude restore of the VM tags on restore?
That is quite dangerous in my environment, as there are some API jobs, that are filtering on the tags.
One example: there is a job that starts failed windows VMs according to an “autoPowerOn” tag.When I restore such a VM, its restoreVM gets started while getting restored.
Thank you and best wishes
