Easy way to find a failed task?
-
I was importing a 700GB .VHD created with Microsoft Disk2VHD (Not XVHD).
This is coming from my NAS and only gigabit ethernet (Until more 10gbit cards arrive next week) so it was taking forever. XOA had estimated 21 hours or something. Which was fine, happy to leave it overnight. I left my PC on the tasks page to monitor the progress and left it there.
However at some point when the task was over 5% complete I came back to check the progress and found that the task had just completely disappeared.
I didn't have any sort of notification left on the screen as to what happened or why. If I check in previous tasks I don't see anything. If I check in Pool logs I don't see anything.
I figured maybe the progress bar was inaccurate and the task finished but when I checked too see if the disk was available it's nowhere to be found so it seems the import failed at some point.
Am I missing something? It seems pretty difficult to find the information in XOA and I have no idea what I'd search for in logs or previous tasks. I tried to search for "import" or "nfs" (since that's part of the SR name I was importing it to) but got no results.
Any tips?
EDIT - Pretty sure I understand what happened. Computer went to sleep and lost network connection instead of keeping the session alive. Copying from mapped NAS folder, transferring through XOA on my PC was adding too many jumps so I've just opted to copy the file via command line instead.
Still confused as to why there was no error message or anything under tasks or anything though. It seems as soon as you refresh the page everything disappears.

The Tasks page only shows logs while you're viewing it.
Afterwards I think they get recorded to the Logs, but if your system fell asleep XO wouldn't know what happened. Besides the connection getting dropped and I don't know if that would get recorded.
