Hi there. Prepare for my posts

little off-top, any one know how to prevent status screen from going blank? I would like to see those information all the time

@xisco is this XCP thing? or citrix?

about pausing VM - this is default behavior in Hyper-V server and is work flawless - restarting server prior to some MS patching - all vm are going nicely to sleep and after boot resumes accordingly.

@MD389 in below config it does not create the iso smb share on selected server

New --> Storage --> Then select SMB from the "Select storage type" dropdown list.

Did the trick. Thank's for solution

btw when the x6 will be released? what's the approximate time?

@olivierlambert can this info be moved to XOA interface?

@karlisi said in Interrupted CR task - what now?:

Automatically deleting incomplete VMs can be dangerous

This is an example - don't take it too strictly. I'm talking about exaclty the above problem. I was not aware of it. No information about the problem and this is the exactly the real problem.

Question:

• What are the steps to do in case of CR backup is interrupted?

Atlas VM stuck on CR, what to do now? delete incomplete VM? delete all Atlas CR backups and start backup Task again?

Too bad that XOA don't handle the entire process completly and not informing operator about incomplete backup process - could xoa check if some backup is interrupter and perform repair actions ? for example delete incomplete backup?

yey! i've got more of them... It think that the dashboard in xoa shoudl be reworked completly to give operator complete set of information about the status and problems observed on the stack.

Isn't any SQL server crash safe? I.e. they should handle a system power-loss and gracefully recover (journals). A filesystem snapshot is equivalent of a power loss. You need to configure your databases accordingly.

Most of maria/mysql have enabled innodb doublewrite enabled by default:

But just in case of Active Directory... I really really want to have consistent snapshot/backups

@Buschi said in XEN Orchestra Snapshot Space for Backups:

Quiesced Snaphots are supported from SQL Server [Express]

Quiesced Snaphots will not be available in next releases of xenserver / xcp-ng probably too, so be aware of that.
Snapshot and restoring can do mess, you can't relay on snapshots in regards of SQL dabase or Active Directory backups, but You probably know that

Olivier how do You plan make the snapshots consistent? Are You planning to develop the Quiesced Snaphots feature or You are working on something different?

That's what I do now - I'm disabling this backup task for 2nd and 4th week.

@badrAZ thank You. In my setup during weekend I'm doing some heavy-load backup tasks, so I wanted avoid running another tasks concurently.

Aslo You can copy a VM to the target SR

Hi
