Failed vm restore
-
@olivierlambert I have updated XO Xen Orchestra, commit fe92e Master, commit d8370. I tried to restore a small vm with only one vdi. I can confirm that this error still happens but only if I use "For each VDI, select an SR". Otherwise it restores OK but, of course, any additional vdis would be restored to the same SR. I still wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Here is a screenshot of my restore dialog:
-
Can you please uncheck "Use differential restore" to see if it changes the outcome?
That would be interesting to get the logs of the failed restore too, maybe it's a trivial UI bug on restore when it's done on 2 different SRs
-
@olivierlambert I have not done this with the vm I needed to restore this morning. It's very large and I don't want a massive daya copy during working hours. I tried what you asked with a small vm and I did not turn on differential restore. I got the same error. Nothing appears to be logged for the time the error happened.
-
Please note that if I don't use "For each VDI, select an SR" the backup restores normally. This is true whether or not differential restore is turned on.
-
FYI: I have tried this on a completely different installation with a different client - same error, but without "For each VDI, select an SR" restore is OK

Thanks, so it's an XO bug. Pinging @lsouai-vates

@olivierlambert Thanks. I'll watch for the outcome. Appreciate all that you guys do.

@lsouai-vates Thank you. I was able to work around the issue using the snapshot so don't need any help right now. Please keep me posted on the bug fix.
Thanks. -
@frank-s it looks like you need to select a base SR , even if you choose to assign different SR for each vdi ( or do not restore some vdi)
this looks like a UI bug
-
@florent Now this is just from memory, and I didn't take notes, but I think when I did that it restored everything to the same SR. I'll test it tomorrow and let you know the outcome.

@frank-s yes please
the more detailed the bug report is, the easier it is to fix
