Auto Power ON says Invalid Parameters

msagautam

@olivierlambert Thank you.
It looks like the backup generated from a different server does not work well for options such as "auto power on" when restored on a new server.
But if I just build xo from source in a new VM on the new server, "auto power on" works perfectly.

Pinging @julien-f if he knows about that.

This should be fixed on master: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/commit/e171d8ed0e786772c9ccdb7dd4127d42faae141a

fix(xo-server/vm.set): add `auto_poweron` to params

Related to b8524732ce5fc466ef73664ff02cd4e09fca7ad9

Fixes #4295

Yeah but is it affecting VMs backup before the fix? I mean, if you restore a VM with the issue, even with the fix, should it work?

msagautam

I backed up the server 3 days ago, which is when e171d8e commit has been made. So it is most likely that I have cloned from github and installed xo-server before this fix.
To answer oliver's question, the restore would still have the issue because the xo-server built is before the fix. So I will have to fetch the update and rebuild xo-server again, and then I have to backup for future restores.

olivierlambert

Just to be clear: if you are on the latest commit, does restoring of an "old" backup (done when it was broken) works?

msagautam

Are you asking whether I can auto-power on the restored VMs from the latest commit of orchestra?
Answer: Yes, it works!
Reason: Looks like the parameter was not available before and julien-f has fixed it by adding the parameter in this commit: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/commit/e171d8ed0e786772c9ccdb7dd4127d42faae141a
Thank you all!

He, without any doubt, wanted to know, if that also works with old backups, which have been created before the fix was submitted. (As of: Are old backups still broken?)

Your answer doesn't say if you power up old (pre fix) or new (post fix) created backups.

@cg it works on restored VMs from pre-fix backups.
I haven't tested post fix backups yet. However, it also works on newly installed VMs.
