Job canceled to protect the VDI chain
-
Yesterday our backup job started failing for all VMs with the message:
"Job canceled to protect the VDI chain"
I have checked the docs regarding VDI chain protection:
https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/backup_troubleshooting#vdi-chain-protectionThe xcp-ng logs do not show any errors:
I am using TrueNAS as shared storage.

Hi,
Maybe you simply have coalesce still running on your storage.
-
I think you are correct. When I checked the Health it showed 46 to coalesce and then number started dropping down to zero. Now the backups appear to be running again
I have never seen this before and I am curious as to why it appeared yesterday.
My fear was storage corruption, as with shared storage it would impact all VMs. I checked TrueNAS and everything appears to be be healthy.

Hard to tell, but instead of adding even more pressure, XO automatically skipped until your chain coalesced correctly.
