Remote Backup needs internet to backup, local network. Static ips.
-
I am using truenas with xcp-ng. two different hosts. I have a 10gib link connecting them. No swtich. I set 2 static ips so we can talk to each other. Pings works and connects fine with my nfs share for vm storage network share for nfs. If anything this is good enough because I just need the storage for my vms to lot faster than 1gb. When I try to connect to my 10gb link with xcp-ng "backup remotes"" inside of xen orchestra. Not xen center. I am not able to connect. When I switch the ip to my 1gb link it works fine. Haven't touched the network share only the ip address in the "backup remotes". How do I have it connect without internet access? I do have a sfp switch but not sfp +. The cards are Chelsio T520-LL-CR. Its a 50 port swtich with 4 sfp ports and I don't feel like buying a new switch just for 10gb. The product is end of life and was $800. So that's why I am connecting the 2 hosts together in my homelab for right now. I just upgraded both hosts. Lots of money have been spent for the new computers..
Is it possible to have a direct connection between the computers and set static ips and use the remote backup connection in xen orchestra?

Hi,
Not sure to get everything, but at least remember that a backup remote is not connect from XCP-ng to the NFS share, but from XO to the NFS share.

@cookie-eater2000 make sure your Xen Orchestra also has a connection on the 10GB network (IP address on the xo vm)
