Tristis Oris did you run yarn from the root of the project to install the new dependencies ?

Tristis Oris it looks like the build from completly empty repo don't work as expected

can you try this :

cd @vates/generator-toolbox/
yarn build 
cd - 
yarn build

I am working on improving the build process in the meantimes

Tristis Oris

florent yep it works now.

So is it this new backup code which the tape back up support will be plugging into?

If so I have been thinking may be have it when doing the tape backup support, get the XOA to install the packages when required after prompting the user. Also have xo-server instruct the creation of a new disk image for attaching to xoa. The new disk image would act as storage or cache for the extra data used by tape drive backups.

The tape drive related software wouldn't be installed by default, unless specified as such during deployment with the XOA deploy tool. But instead installed at user request, by selecting to use tape backup destination when setting up back up job, clicking on the shim widget about tape backups or restoring from an online Vates account backup of XOA settings.

Davidj 0

florent I'm doing this from source.
Running git pull --rebase seems to have fixed the build problems.

florent

john.c the backup on tape is still on the roadmap but won't be for this step

The main change is that we'll have to rework part of the code to ensure we write data sequentially + the management tools ( which backup is on which tape )

You can try the FS on tape , but the performance penalty is heavy

Even if its not part of this rewrite some of what I wrote is my idea or view as to how it could be implemented later on. So that it's implemented in a way, that permits people who don't need tape back ups to still have small Xen Orchestra instances. But at the same time enable those who use tape backups, to have the capacity and an appropriately sized Xen Orchestra.

Testing a continuous replication backup, I get Error: can't connect to any nbd client

Running the same job on my regular XO works fine. Let me know what logs you want to see.

can't get NBD to work. It enabled on nic, but not used for backups. XO settings copied from prod instance.

Davidj 0

Like Tristis Oris , my first tests were done using a clone of my production XO. They failed with "No NBD" errors.

Creating a new backup works.

Tristis Oris

Davidj 0 No NBD usage even with new task( Main XO is on same host, same nic.

Davidj 0

Tristis Oris My setup is similar to yours, and I get similar errors on any existing backup job.

However, if I create a new backup job, then it works without any error.

ping florent , maybe these data points are useful.

florent

thanks for your tests . I will recheck NBD backup

ih Tristis Oris and Davidj 0 I pushed an update to better handle NBD error, please keep us informed
