@olivierlambert That worked. I selected an offline snapshot, and the job was completed. Thanks again.

@olivierlambert yes, the reason was quite obvious. A solution is what I was looking for. I will definitely try it with offline snapshots. Appreciate the info.

@olivierlambert

I thought because the nvidia-smi command showed an error that it did not pass through correctly. I went into the Jellyfin app and set it to use Transcoding, and it worked. Now, the only problem is, for some reason, I can't get that particular VM to complete a remote Delta backup. I continue to get the error shown above. I've deleted the job and rebuilt it, but get the same error. Any ideas? I really need to back up this media server. Thanks again.

@olivierlambert

I was able to get things working. Even though it does not show in the GUI on XO, it works for transcoding. However, I cannot complete a backup of that particular VM with this error...

@Dean50 something strange is going on. I turned on transcoding in the Jellyfin console. It seems that the transcoding is working when it is switched on, but it is not providing audio. Regardless, it seems that XCP-ng is passing through the GPU as it is intended. Thanks for all your input. Greatly appreciate the support.

@Dean50

Yes....

@olivierlambert Something is still off. When I run the Nvidia-smi command, I get an unknown error after installing the NVIDIA Drivers.

@Dean50

You were correct. It had two items for the NVIDIA GPU to pass through. However, it still did not show after getting passed, assigned, and rebooted.

@olivierlambert Thanks again for your input. How do I go about the lspci in Dom0? I’m learning more, but I’m still a novice. lol

I installed the NVIDIA Drivers but still do not see the card as available in the VM under the GPU option. It still shows an unclickable NONE. This card may not work. It is a lower-end card I had lying around.

When I run the nvidia-smi command, I'm getting this...

@scot1297tutaio
Thank you very much for the information. I made a very superficial attempt at installing drivers for the card. I will dive into that a bit deeper today or sometime soon to try it. Hopefully this particular card will work. Thank you very much for the information. I will do a search for the jellyfin article you mentioned . Thanks again.

@olivierlambert

It shows the card I'm passing through, but the line above it shows the number it should be. It was 0000:03:00.0 when I looked for it on the XO server.

I encountered an issue while following the instructions from Tom Lawrence on passing through my GPU. Despite following the steps meticulously, the advanced tab of the VM I passed it to on XCP-ng still does not show the GPU. I'm unsure about the missing element in the process.

The VM is running Ubuntu 22.4.
Running XCP-ng 8.3

Here, you can see the assignable PCI

This is what I get after running...

Thanks for any input

Thanks. Back in Business. I did that but unzipped the file first. That did not work. Dropping the xo-config in as the zip folder, worked as it should. Thanks again.

I just built a new XO from source on Debian. I was running it on Ubuntu with another method. Regardless, I reattached my backup storage and would like to get my jobs running from the new XO server. I have all the backup jobs showing as detached. Is there any way to reattach them or do I have to build new backup jobs for all my servers? Thanks.

@olivierlambert Thank you very much I will give it a try. I tried building XO from source following some videos on YouTube. I get so far and some dependencies have been deprecated and won’t work. Do you know of a working instruction for building from source? Thanks.

@olivierlambert No...I've never needed to. Everything just worked. I currently have another remote NFS share attached to another TrueNAS Core Server and it connects fine.

@olivierlambert I tried this....sudo mount 10.0.0.102:/mnt/strong-house/xobackup

mount: can't find 10.0.0.102:/mnt/strong-house/xobackup in /etc/fstab

I'm sure I'm missing something simple. Thanks.

@olivierlambert Sorry - I am using XO from sources.

I am backing up to a REMOTE NFS share I had previously configured. It was working fine. It stopped working for some reason. The remote is on a TrueNAS Scale box. The only thing I did was add a sub folder within the original vmbackup folder for acronis to store backups in. I tried removing the NFS share and recreating it as it's own folder with no sub folders. Still rejecting connection. This is the log file after the recreation of the new NFS share. Any insight would be great. Thanks.

Not sure why it would say Protocol not supported.

I have another NFS share that holds my ISO's that is setup the same and works fine.
