Xapi service missing

modir

We did a yum update on our XCP-ng server and then a reboot. Afterwards Xen does not work anymore. On the console I always get this error message:

Failed to log in via xapi's Unix domain socket in 300.000000 seconds

After investigating I found out that the xapi.service file is missing.

systemctl --all
...
xapi.service                      not-found inactive   dead         xapi.service
...

How can I get this file back?

Hi,

It's a bit hard to tell without more context & versions you are using

modir

@olivierlambert We are using XCP-ng 8.2.1.

I think I am now one step further. I uninstalled xapi-core and then reinstalled it. Now at least all the "xe" commands work again.

Very strange all this. It looks like several files got lost:

# xe pbd-plug uuid=f7bde4ab-7d90-c1d2-eb29-43eba29b9d04
The SR could not be connected because the driver was not recognised.
driver: xfs

This SR was running fine for several month. Now suddenly the driver for it is missing.
Do you maybe know which package I have to reinstall to get this driver?

According to the documentation, you only need xfsprogs.
