Latest XCP-ng 8.2: Cannot import XVA, even with latest XOA
-
Is the task having any progress?

@olivierlambert Hang on there's a sliver of progress now!
-
@olivierlambert It's showing 1% but not doing much beyond that.
-
Anything happening in xensource or SMlog?
-
@olivierlambert Nothing out of the ordinary. Still 1%.
-
Then you have an issue on the storage or in the XVA file itself.
-
@olivierlambert it's definitely not the storage, will try a different XVA to isolate.
-
@olivierlambert Are there any compatibility issues, i.e. say exporting a XVA with an older version of XCPng and trying to import with a newer version?
-
No known issue with XVA import. Nor any recent tickets about this kind of problem.
-
@olivierlambert Thanks your comments got me thinking, it could be the NFS mount connection is dropping out; trying a test now to mount it via fstab in XCPng.
-
@olivierlambert here's another clue. If I mount my local CIFS share onto the XCPng host, after a while I cannot do
cd /mnt ls -la # it just hangs here. I have to kill the SSH session and SSH back inThis only happens after mounting the CIFS share the very first time after boot.
Thoughts?

@olivierlambert bit more info
[20:42 xcpng-host0 ~]# mount -t cifs //10.0.x.x/linux_data on /mnt/linux_data type cifs (rw,relatime,vers=3.0,cache=strict,username=myuser,uid=0,forceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=10.0.x.x,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,noperm,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1) [20:42 xcpng-host0 ~]# cd /mnt/linux_data # it just hangs here. I have to kill the SSH session and SSH back in -
That's your problem: fix your storage (reboot your host to see), and then import will work
-
@olivierlambert Hah, indeed it was! CIFS is totally unstable, but I was able to get NFS working with these configs:
mount -o vers=3,soft,mountproto=tcp [IP]:/share /mnt/nfs_share/backup.xva
