    • RE: Change/Remove Master from Pool error - missing column

      @olivierlambert Good question,
      Once I booted it back, it added as a slave to the pool with out issues.

      But I have removed it from the pool and am re-installing as we speak.
      We're moving data centres, so I'm splitting the pool up to do a part-move.

      Thanks for your interest, and assistance.

    • RE: Change/Remove Master from Pool error - missing column

      Okay Team,
      For my reference, and anyone else finding this;

      I was able to recover the pool by completing the following steps.
      As this is out production cluster, I did it late into the night - thankfully, with no downtime.

      1: I shutdown the old master than had no VM's running.

      1: On another host that I wanted to become the master, I ssh'd on and ran the following command.
      xe pool-emergency-transition-to-master

      I got the following response:

      Host agent will restart and transition to master in 10.000 seconds...
      

      3: I then went into XO => Settings => Server and connected to the new master.

      2: After a god 10-15 seconds, On the new master I ran the following command
      xe pool-recover-slaves

      Which after a few seconds, the GUID's of the other hosts in the pool appeared.

      xe pool-recover-slaves
      f600ea3a-cc02-4f24-a15e-938756feb00c
      d123525c-6022-43c9-8c23-d0f1ca567219
      16c7c955-f65e-4d5b-96e7-787085c2d25f
      

      And all hosts are showing correctly in XO!

      🎉🎉🎉

      @olivierlambert Yes, I updated the master and rebooted it first.
      Then updated the other hosts and rebooted each of those.

    • RE: Change/Remove Master from Pool error - missing column

      I've found this post:
      https://docs.xenserver.com/en-us/citrix-hypervisor/dr/machine-failures.html#master-failures

      Which looks like I can run

      xe pool-emergency-transition-to-master
      

      On one of the other members of the pool.
      Is this the best/safest way to change the pool master?

      @olivierlambert Do you think this is a solution to the errors?

      Thanks

    • Change/Remove Master from Pool error - missing column

      Hi Team,
      I want to remove the master from our production pool.

      I get the following error:

      xe pool-designate-new-master host-uuid=<<other pool server uuid>>
      
      The server failed to handle your request, due to an internal error. The given message may give details useful for debugging the problem.
      message: missing column
      <extra>: host
      <extra>: https_only
      

      I have made sure that the current Pool master was fully updated first, and rebooted.
      I then updated all other hosts in the pool (5 in total).

      yum update
      Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
      Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
      Excluding mirror: updates.xcp-ng.org
       * xcp-ng-base: mirrors.xcp-ng.org

      I have even shutdown the master, loosing connection via XO and running the change master command via the command line on the other servers, which of course, do nothing.

      I have no VM's on the current pool master, and have tried put in maintainence mode first.

      In XO (from courses) I have tried to Detach the master which generates the following error in the logs;

      host.detach
      {
        "host": "d2d01b9a-e6d1-4dd0-90e6-f101a251c7b1"
      }
      {
        "code": "INTERNAL_ERROR",
        "params": [
          "Xapi_pool.Cannot_eject_master"
        ],
        "call": {
          "method": "pool.eject",
          "params": [
            "OpaqueRef:90ba839f-61a2-4f96-b485-df6332fb0bce"
          ]
        },
        "message": "INTERNAL_ERROR(Xapi_pool.Cannot_eject_master)",
        "name": "XapiError",
        "stack": "XapiError: INTERNAL_ERROR(Xapi_pool.Cannot_eject_master)

      }
      

      I have run xe host-list to get the other host UUID's from all 5 servers and have tried the xe pool-designate-new-master host-uuid= command on the current master and all other servers with the same error message.

      I have even tried the window controller MSI via the gui

      fd7490d9-c29e-47f2-b91a-8054a9ef96bd-image.png

      Which appears to timeout and fails.
