XOA - backups skipped to protect VDI chain
-
Same answer as the other topic, as I exactly said in my previous post here: you can solve this in XO, Dashboard/health view.

@olivierlambert Under XOA / SR / [volume] / Advanced that there are several disks with non-0 VDI to coalesce. All are '1' except for one which is '3'. The count does not seem to be decreasing after many hours. On the server 'xe task-list' shows no activity other than occasional and brief "SR scan".
-> Should the "VDI to coalesce" decrease over several hours without intervention?
-> Is the WebUI "Rescan all disks" different from the job that runs automatically in the background , so that running it might do some good? -
- VDI to coalesce number should decrease over time yes. If it's not, you might have a coalesce issue in your storage, check the
/var/log/SMlogin the relevant host (master for shared storage, the host attached to its local storage otherwise). - Rescan will scan for the LV/VHD files. But coalesce is automatically checked/started every 5 minutes. Coalesce can take time (depending on SR read/write and quantity to "merge"). Next releases will have a visible task for pending coalesce (next major XCP-ng release). Until then, you can do a
ps axf | grep coalesceto see if there's something happening.
