well i reinstall and it will work again for months, sometimes like to day until i reboot. I had my everything crossed but no such luck.

Normally (not an expert) you get reports of errored disks on the console display (writing over the console)

I don't seem to get any of that. i think i've changed the SSD in the past (long time ago) but due to same issue i'm sure.

i'll run some diags on disks and ram to be sure (as sure at those tests are)

thanks, any other ideas?

This has happened time and time again but i normally just rebuild. this time i thought i would try to fix... with help.

my host get to this point of boot and then stops. the screen input is flashing but the keyboard becomes frozen (numlock won't turn off)

the 2nd picture is as far as it get in safemode boot.

I have tried to mount the volume to a live ubuntu but that failed. I will try again as i didn't have the pics so was half hearted as didn't know where to find the file. anyone got any ideas or seen it before?

VMs are backed up, i just want to know the issue as it's not the 1st time

thanks in advance

indeed, but by definition the xsconsole only seems to state VM data not pool. I was more worried about it not being a full backup. but then in the same take, i like the idea of a VM only meta on XO.

I'm going to put this to bed next week. I'm going to export and compare backup files.

place bets..

I use XOA to backup the pool metadata but little lost to the XCP host version.
it seems to suggest this is VM metadata only..... if so there once was a pool backup in xsconsole, has this been removed?

Also if the ability to backup the VM meta is here, why can't XOA backup just the VM meta instead of having to complete a full pool backup/restore?

Thanks in advance !!

When you change network settings it asks if you want to push the name set to DNS or XCP (can't remember they direction), anyway this is your host DNS, when you set the network management in xsconsole you can get it renamed and then match the XCP name.

I have completed actions, thanks

anyone able to answer this one?

If you have an old pool and want to upgrade, attaching new hardware.
You can get the following.

Once all the old servers are removed, how can you check that the CPUs are working at their best?

Thanks in advance.

I want to add a new server to the pool but i can't add without the same patch level.
Our main environment is behind 5 patches but i want to reboot them before adding the rest.

long story short, can i patch to X level so i can connect without having to down the current?
