sr iso disconnect and crashed my hosts
-
I have 50 hosts using xcp-ng and all of these hosts are using an smb/cifs sr to access the isos for new installations when necessary. 2 days ago all of the servers lost access to the repository and the sriso was locked, and I was unable to create, turn off or turn on any VM on any host, and I was unable to detach them either through xcng-center or cli. So I did a umount -l /run/sr-mount/UUID and then ran xe-toolstack-restart and then I was able to detach them and create, turn off and turn on the VMs. What is happening now that the CPU load is very high and I don't want to have to restart my 50 servers? Is there anything I can do to avoid having to turn them off?

Hi,
If you use a remote storage for VM disks or ISO, you must be sure the connection is stable. Otherwise, having issues is rather normal. It's like physically cut a SATA cable to your DVD/CD drive. You need to understand why you lost the connection to your SMB/CIFS share in the first place.

ok olivierlambert
anything i can do about the hosts as they are all experiencing high cpu consumption after this problem. -
Even after normalizing the processes, they still exist and I can't kill them.

Double check your hosts are fully up to date (which version? you haven't provided many useful information on your environment in your first post
) -
are all on XCP-ng 8.2 version and are not up to date.
-
You should really start by getting all your hosts up to date first, reboot after updates and see if it happens again, while trying to fix your connectivity problem to your network shares.
-
the connection problem is already fixed, I didn't want to have to update or restart the hosts at this time.
-
Then reboot in the next maintenance window
-
The connectivity problem with sr iso was fixed, but the server load was a little high and also several sleep processes.
