Backup failures: Undefined errors

Zululander

I am getting the following errors:

  }
}

I have tested my remote storage and that is working.

Not sure where to from here.

Changed retention from 5 to 3 and it worked.

Hi @Zululander

We need more context before assisting you. Like the version of XO you are using and such

Zululander

@olivierlambert I have just updated it using the XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater script with XCP-Ng 8.2.1

olivierlambert

Is your current commit matches with the latest one on master? (should be visible in the about view)

Zululander

@olivierlambert Ah, that might be it, "Xen Orchestra, commit 5cf5d" with a warning "You are not up to date with master. 23 commits behind". Going to google how I update it.

Danp

@Zululander You should be able to simply rerun the same update script you previously used.

Zululander

@Danp Yes, I thought that would be the case but not sure how. If I remember correctly, I installed
my homelab using https://docs.xcp-ng.org/installation/install-xcp-ng/

XCP-ng release 8.2.1 (xenenterprise)
NAME="XCP-ng"
VERSION="8.2.1"
ID="xenenterprise"
ID_LIKE="centos rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="8.2.1"
PRETTY_NAME="XCP-ng 8.2.1"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
HOME_URL="http://xcp-ng.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp"
XCP-ng release 8.2.1 (xenenterprise)
XCP-ng release 8.2.1 (xenenterprise)

https://docs.xcp-ng.org/installation/upgrade/ talks about upgrading but I am just wanting to update to the latest commit. Do I just do an upgrade from 8.2 to 8.2 and that will then do it?

Danp

It seems like you are confusing xcp-ng (the virtualization server) with XO (the VM for managing xcp-ng). Based on your earlier post, you needed to update XO, not xcp-ng. Therefore, you should be able to rerun your XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater script to update XO to the latest source commits.
