Getting errors when migrating 4 out 5 VMGuest

Danp

@ashinobi You previously indicated that the migration worked from the VM screen. Is that still accurate?

Can you post a screenshot of your XO About screen so that we can confirm the commit in use?

@Danp

In regards to migration to vm screen, I confirm that is still working.

In regards to the screenshot of the about page:

I saw this morning there were 12 commits so I just updated to it as well.

Danp

@ashinobi That shows that you are on the master branch. You can confirm that by checking the output of git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD (needs to be run from the correct directory ).

Did you forget to check out the alternate branch before you issued the Yarn commands?

ashinobi

@Danp

Here is what I got from running "rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD"

admin@xen-orchestra:/opt/xo/xo-src/xen-orchestra$ sudo git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
[sudo] password for admin:
xo5/fix-bulk-migration

It shows that I am using the alternate branch which is the "fix-bulk-migration"

Danp

@ashinobi Are you sure that XO is running from that directory? The commit shown above isn't included in xo5/fix-bulk-migration.

ashinobi

@Danp

As you know that I am using XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater script so I will be dependent on its config file. Base on the config file the installation is located at /opt/xo

# Base dir for installation and future updates
INSTALLDIR="/opt/xo"

so I assume that is the directory where XO is running and if I go to /opt directory there is only one folder in there which is "xo"

admin@xen-orchestra:/opt$ ls -ltrh
total 4.0K
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Feb  9 06:25 xo

If I check the status of "xo-server.service" it is pointing to the "/opt/xo" where it is running

admin@xen-orchestra:/opt$ systemctl status xo-server.service

@ashinobi That all looks fine. Probably just need to pull the source with git pull.

Also, I just took at look at that script and it seems that you can edit the BRANCH line in the config file to select a different branch for the script to use.

ashinobi

@Danp

do I change "Branch=MASTER" to "Branch=xo5/fix-bulk-migration"? to make it work?

Danp

@ashinobi I believe so

ashinobi

@Danp

Unfortunately I am still having the same issue. I have rebooted XO and both host as well:

Danp

@ashinobi That commit is still from the wrong branch, so I'm not sure what isn't working correctly on your end.

I just rebuilt my XO VM on that branch using these commands --

sudo bash
cd /opt/xen-orchestra/
git checkout xo5/fix-bulk-migration
git pull
yarn; yarn build
sudo systemctl restart xo-server.service

This is my About screen now, which matches the values I would expect for this branch --

ashinobi

@Danp

That is weird, if that is still from the wrong branch because when I ran the script it showed it is trying to download from the branch I specified:

I will try your method, unfortunately my backups for my VM Guest just kicked in so I'll update you once the backup has finished and I was able to run the command you have provided

@Danp said in Getting errors when migrating 4 out 5 VMGuest:

checkout xo5/fix-bulk-migration

When I did "git pull" I get the following:

root@xen-orchestra:/opt/xo/xo-src/xen-orchestra# git pull
hint: You have divergent branches and need to specify how to reconcile them.
hint: You can do so by running one of the following commands sometime before
hint: your next pull:
hint:
hint:   git config pull.rebase false  # merge (the default strategy)
hint:   git config pull.rebase true   # rebase
hint:   git config pull.ff only       # fast-forward only
hint:
hint: You can replace "git config" with "git config --global" to set a default
hint: preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase,
hint: or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per
hint: invocation.
fatal: Need to specify how to reconcile divergent branches.

Do I need to merge any repository or ignore this?

Danp

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you should do at this point. Maybe you could reach out to the XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater
folks.

@Danp

That's fine, thank you for the help. I still have the migrate option when I go to the vm settings itself. Thanks for trying to help with my small issue and the information you shared about the use of git command

Hi @ashinobi.
We have just pushed all the migration fixes from the xo5/fix-bulk-migration branch to the master branch. You should now be able to test it.

ashinobi

@MathieuRA

Thanks for doing the fix, I have tested this and I confirm it is working. I am able to migrate VMGuest to a different host by ticking the check box in the vmlist.
