Same answer, take a look at your logs

Thanks for your reply @olivierlambert .

Is the following logs normal ? I tried to do CR to this server on SSD it fails < 5 mins. When I do CR between Sata Disk -> Sata Disk it works well. When I use another software like xackup to copy it managed to migrate over.

[Tristis Oris]

yes i think im dumb. waiting when you will look at logs which i not provided

i see nothing interesting except one repeatable "Failed to lock /var/lock/sm/.nil/lvm on first attempt, blocked by PID 25021"

and task duration before fail always 5min. i think that some hardcoded timers?

@Tristis-Oris Hey man, were you able to solve this? I'm facing the same issue after a reinstall. Continuous Replication fails exactly at 5 minutes.
Thanks in advance

[Tristis Oris]

@yomono nope still investigating. i got SR_NOT_SUPPORTED at log.

[yomono]

@Tristis-Oris

[olivierlambert]

Can you double check you are using a recent commit on master?

[yomono]

@olivierlambert In my case, I'm indeed using the latest commit. I played around with old commits yesterday (as old as two or three months) but same result. Right now, I'm using the latest (commited an hour ago).
I can share my SMlogs if you want but I'm also getting the "SR_NOT SUPPORTED" error. I tried to backup different VMs on different sources servers, and to different servers destinations. My next try will be reinstalling XO

[olivierlambert]

Indeed, try to wipe it entirely, and rebuild.

[Tristis Oris]

@olivierlambert that a old problem) but yes, usually about latest. Just repeated all tests on 3c7d3.

1. CR stop working right after clean 8.2.1 installation. at same day.
2. replaced FC to iscsi (only bcz i need iscsi here ), created new LUN > same story.
3. 8.2.0 clean install, no updated - CR works.
4. don't tried usual backups to this SR, don't need them here.
5. VM migration works at any setup.

problem only with one storage Dell EMC PowerVault ME4012. all other huawei, iscsi - works fine. But not sure if i have another clean 8.2.1 pools. Maybe only some nodes.

logs now. I'm doing 2 CR backups.

1. Xen 8.2.1, clean host, no any VM. iscsi 60Tb lun. Xen show only 50Tb

and some small like

nothing more with error status at log.

2. because of weird size, tried 8.2.1 with iscsi 20Tb LUN.
   same result SR_NOT_SUPPORTED.

3. now 8.2.0 clean install, no any updates.
   it works.

here both hosts connected to same SR.

4. 8.2.0 full updates > 8.2.1 release/yangtze/master/58
   CR still working.

4.1. unmount LUN, mount again.
working.

[olivierlambert]

I have no idea, sorry. So to recap:

• doesn't work on a 8.2.1 fresh install with updates
• works on older 8.2.0
• work on 8.2.0 updated to 8.2.1

It doesn't sound like an XO bug in your case.

[Tristis Oris]

@olivierlambert yes. so what to do next?)

[olivierlambert]

Trying to figure the setup so we can try to reproduce, and also switching various things until there's a clear pattern.

Eg: can you try with an NFS share to see if you have the same issue? If it's iSCSI related, that would help us to investigate.

[Tristis Oris]

i can't, this is only SAN storage.
any point to test on 8.3 alpha?

[olivierlambert]

You can, it's still another test that might help us to pinpoint something

[yomono]

@olivierlambert I would like to add that after this recap I realized... I also had to reinstall XCP so in my case it's also a fresh 8.2.1 install! At least. knowing that, I can do a 8.2.0 + upgrade installation.. (that's what I used to have). I can also try 8.3 alpha, it's not like I have anything to lose at this point (that server is only to contain XO, there is nothing else there)
Anyways.. the fresh 8.2.1 install is definitely the common point here

[olivierlambert]

Also with iSCSI storage, right?

[yomono]

@olivierlambert not really. This time is just local ext storage, SATA drives.

[olivierlambert]

In LVM or thin? It might be 2 different problems, so I'm trying to sort this out.
