NBD setup - No such item

florent

@Tristis-Oris And you don't have message like can't connect to nbd server in the system log / Xo-server output ?

Tristis Oris

@florent never seen such errors. At which step it should happens?

florent

@Tristis-Oris when launching a backup, between the snapshot and the beginning of the the transfer. It should try to connect to the host(s) NBD server

florent

@florent also , is there a firewall/network filtering between XO and the host ? the conneciton to the NBD server go through the port 10809

Tristis Oris

@florent is NBD server running at dom0?

for clear test: disabled nbd, removed all XO logs. Enabled NBD on host, changed XO interface to this one, run backup task with NBD > no one error at logs.

florent

@Tristis-Oris yes the NBD server run in the dom0, one per host

Tristis Oris

@florent hm. Telnet to 10809 is refused even from dom0, to both backup interface and management.
We have no any additional firewalls at network. Host's iptable looks fine.

What a name of service, to check if it running?

Tristis Oris

also add filter = 'xo:backups:DeltaBackupWriter' to config.toml. Anyway no one error during backup.

florent

@Tristis-Oris I think it is built in in the xapi .
ss -tulpn on my host :

there is a xapi-nbd service

Tristis Oris

@florent looks fine.

also i add extra iptables rules, nothing changed.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 10809 -m comment --comment "NBD" -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 10809 -m comment --comment "NBD" -j ACCEPT

there is already a line for nbd

@florent everything is default except NBD rule. looks similar.

after telnet request to 10809, rejected packages increased.

if i have no errors during backup, it means XO didn't try to use NBD?

but at begining of each NBD backup i got +1 to iptables rejected list.

florent

@Tristis-Oris said in NBD setup - No such item:

but at begining of each NBD backup i got +1 to iptables rejected list.

I think there is something with the network configuration, but I am far out of my element here .

Tristis Oris

@florent is it any requirements for network\switch etc. Any layers outside of Xen.

florent

@Tristis-Oris it hae to let the encrypted traffic flow through the 10809 port. XO will connect directly to the hosts through NBD, not only to the master

Tristis Oris

@florent sounds pretty simple. Nothing at my network should block that traffic.

Anyway, if i got rejected packets at iptables - backup task try to connect NBD server. Then it can't do something, so i should get an error at XO, but it not happens.

Tristis Oris

No such item task happens when host interface at status none without IP.

@olivierlambert i hope your vacation WAS good, be we are stuck a bit here
