        also when the trial expires the whole panel is useless till you downgrade.. everylink you click takes you to the downgrade.. u can not use xoa till the downgrade is complete

            Yes, that is clearly by design.

            my i/o issues had me rebooting constantly for weeks.. soon as i downgrade i can not reboot anymore..

            Sounds like you were having storage problems before the XOA downgrade.

            i do see a error about the vdi failed when scaning the repo..
            please do not tell me i need to delete all an recreate them

            You could check /var/log/SMlog to see if it provides further details related to this VDI.

              thats not correct . only in these vm's there is issues, test proves fine in the host or any other os performance issues and errors is only in the vm's themselves

              also in the host it shows as there mounted and all drives test fine and have great speed an performance in the host

                  I haven't used the Windows client in forever, so I can't tell if the toolstack restart was successful or failed. Can you try restarting the toolstack using XOA? Also, can you show us a screenshot of the host's Storage tab in XOA?

                    I haven't checked your pastebin yet, but those definitely appear to be storage issues to me based on the logs shown in your screen shots. You should post the output of pvdisplay, lvdisplay, and vgdisplay for the affected storage.

                      reboote the server and it did not come up lol dude these drives are good, hardware is good.. something to do with this hypervisor.. think i may need to reinstall the os tommorow..

                      if there is a repair option in this iso i will try it..

                      most is kubernetes so deploying is easy .. but my git was not updated in weeks so im scared i will loose data from one of the vms. i wish i could mount it somehow externally is that possible?

                      ill run your commands tommorow though

                        2 Sr's are local.. 1 is SAS drives raid 0 , and the other is SSD SAS raid 0

                        the only one that works is raid 1 local drive

                        I'm confused by the above. Are there 2 local SRs or 3? How were these created?

                        Which SRs are working correctly and which SRs are giving you problems?

                        When you create an SR, it builds a file system on the target device. In the above, it is trying to access a volume group that no longer appears to exist. This is a storage problem.

                        I said that you appear to have a storage problem, which doesn't necessarily imply a hardware problem.

                        i wish i could mount it somehow externally is that possible?

                        I imagine so, but it depends on many factors that are unknown at this time.

                              yes your correct .. however my source issues started again..

                              there is some issue using kubernetes, longhorn with mariadb operator in xcpng

                              having a hard time tracking down the root cause
