      @IgorGlock Thanks for the report. Can you elaborate on the exact steps required to reproduce this? Also, are you running XOA or XO from sources? Which version or commit?

        I got XOA appliance with trial license for our lab.
        Release channels: latest
        Current version: 6.4.0

        I removed the 2 SR and created them new, use qcow2 again. VM migration from SR-1 to SR-2 failed too.

          @stormi installed updates. Did some backups and VM migrations between various storages (bad and qcow2) looks good so far.

            @IgorGlock Are you able to open the support tunnel for us to investigate? You can either post the tunnel ID here or open a support ticket.

              @IgorGlock Hello,

              Could you share the exception that should be in /var/log/SMlog?

                Hello,

                I deleted the entire XOA and downloaded fresh image, recreated configuration and blank SR.
                The issue is gone. I will test some VDI migrations this week.

                There are is some performance impact and timeouts when creating 100-200 VMs on single 10 TB SR. I use xo-cli vm.create script. See you later 🙂

                      So in consequence the update seems to simply fail. I am aware that the manually installed zabbix packages are not "official" packages. However, from my current understanding the error looks more like a non-zabbix related issue. I am wondering, since I have another exactly identical server, which updated fine. If you need some informations, just let me know.

                        Sorry, about this. I think when migrating PV VMs from a previous system I had issues and "needed" to install "qemu-img" and I did not remember. So removing it, solved the problem. So all my fault. Sorry about this message!!!
