<![CDATA[Recommandations about NFS Remotes maintenance ?]]>Hi

I have a NFS Remote for my backups.
I need to reboot the NFS server.
I there any recommendation ? Disabling the backup job and disconnecting the NFS in XO is sufficient to schedule a maintenance of this remote ?

Best regards.

For a remote, it's simple: disconnect it (click on "Enabled" so it's disabled then), do whatever you need on the NFS server, re-enable.

The Remote NFS doesn't show in the "Storage" (I may be wrong ...)

There is a maintenance mode for the SR... Just make sure no vms are running on this SR before putting into maintenance mode.

If a NFS Remote used for backups i just reboot the nfs server as long as no backups happening. Probably should disable the remote prior but......

Disconnecting the remote is indeed enough: as long as you don't interrupt an NFS share while mounted, it's fine 🙂
