Backup status reporting failure when retry was successful
-
I have noticed an issue in the Xen Orchestra backup job status logic where if an individual VM backup failed for any reason, and was then retried and completed successfully on retry, it is still reported as a backup failure.
This is seen in both the XO backup status for that job but it also sends a backup failure email, which includes the detail that the vm backup had to retry and was successful (but is still reported as an failure). Can anyone on the Vates team confirm if this is a known issue or if there is a fix in the works?
Ideally, with any backup job run, if retries are enabled in the job and a VM backup needs to be retried for any reason, and then ends up completing successfully, the final state of the VM backup should be success. The current behavior just has us investigating failures that aren't really failures.

Hello @tmk,
Can you tell me which version of XO you are using?
We made a modification on the task error handling a couple of weeks ago. -
The XOA that handles our backups is still on an older version, 5.113.2. We have separate XOs for day to day management and backup management as we found that if we ever ran into any issues that required a restart of the XO service or server it would cause some serious issues if backups were running.
We haven't upgraded the XOA responsible for backups yet because this version has been very stable and any time we've encountered issues with backups in the past it's required a very serious time commitment to clean up problems with VDIs (orphaned snapshots, online coalesce not working properly) so we've been hesitant to upgrade that XOA yet.
That's good to hear that it's been fixed though, which version of Xen Orchestra should we be looking for the fix to land in?

I was able to reproduce the problem, so it seems the modifications we brought a couple of weeks ago didn't fix it.
I'm working on a fix at the moment.
