Why not just setup an NFS one?

Biggen

@Danp I should but I use it so seldom that I just have never got around to it. Might as well now so I only have to build it again from scratch just this once!

Import (in XO and XCP-ng center) / restore from back up is broken. It works with 8.1 RC1 but with latest patches applied or prefinal 3 it fails.

Think this is the relevant bit of the log,

@jmccoy555 Just tested a VM restore and it worked fine for me. <shrug>

stormi

@jmccoy555 @Danp what's your XAPI version?

rpm -q xapi-core xapi-xe xapi-tests

BenjiReis

Also which version of XO are using? What kind of backup were you trying to restore?

Danp

# rpm -q xapi-core xapi-xe xapi-tests
xapi-core-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-xe-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-tests-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64

BenjiReis

@jmccoy555 Can we have the full XO log with the name of the action that created the error?
Can we have the XCP-ng log as well corresponding to this error?

Works - Fresh RC1 install as a VM
xapi-core-1.214.1-2.2.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-xe-1.214.1-2.2.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-tests-1.214.1-2.2.xcpng8.1.x86_64

Fails - The above with patches applied
xapi-core-1.214.1-2.5.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-xe-1.214.1-2.5.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-tests-1.214.1-2.5.xcpng8.1.x86_64

I have tried a restore from a scheduled XO back up.

I also have exported the VM from XO as a .XVA and tried importing with XO and XCP-ng center, both fail but work with 8.1 RC1 before patches.

xo-server 5.57.3
xo-web 5.57.1

I'll have to dig the logs out later if still required.[0_1585573752708_2020-03-30T13_19_28.603Z - XO.log](Uploading 0%)

BenjiReis

@jmccoy555 Thanks for the info, can you precise what kind of backup you were using? Delta? continuous replication?

thanks

jmccoy555

@BenjiReis 'Backup' and 'Export' from the VM screen in XO.

BenjiReis

Ok thanks!

olivierlambert

Good news! I'm able to reproduce the issue

My server is fully patched (no updates showing in XO). Can someone please explain why these updates aren't showing up for me?

jmccoy555

Don't suppose there's a quick way to rollback is there?

Danp

@jmccoy555 You could try the following (untested!) --

yum downgrade xapi-core-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64 xapi-xe-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64 xapi-tests-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64

Not sure if there are other packages that would need rolled back as well.

jmccoy555

@Danp

rpm -q xapi-core xapi-xe xapi-tests
xapi-core-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-xe-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64
xapi-tests-1.214.1-2.4.xcpng8.1.x86_64

on my other physical host and that is causing me issues. Guess I'll have to do a reinstall back to RC1.

Fixed packages will be available shortly. Thanks for finding this important regression.

stormi

They are now available in xcp-ng-testing for XCP-ng 8.1.

yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing

olivierlambert

Fixed to me. @jmccoy555 can you try again after updating?
