    • RE: Can't start or shutdown VM's after storage was powered off

      Where would the stale mounts be? .. in XCP-ng? or in Freenas?

    • RE: Can't start or shutdown VM's after storage was powered off

      @S-Pam said in Can't start or shutdown VM's after power outage:

      export your NFS with fsid option

      I am not certain what you mean by "export your NFS with fsid option"?
      Can you explain?

    • Can't start or shutdown VM's after storage was powered off

      This post will be less narrow and specific than we would all like - But it is my situation.

      I have :

      • Pool of 3 XCP-ng v8.0. on 3 Dell T5500's. Recently converted from ESXi - 3 months ago. Approx 50 VM's.
      • 2 separate FreeNAS storage computers.

      I have used XenServer 6 for years in a business environment.

      I Left HA and VM's running.
      I Shutdown one FreeNAS box due to disk error to investigate.

      Problem: (trio of servers)

      After turning FreeNAS back on, I could not do much with Xcp-ng.

      I can ssh.
      I can now use the XCP-ng center.
      Most VM's are starting, but not started.

      I tried to shut down VM's using command line xe commands per https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX220777
      I can not shut most of them down, I can't start them.
      I could not do much with the system.

      I used commands "like" these and others.

       96  xe pool-list
      101  /etc/init.d/xapissl restart
      104  service xapi status
      105  service xapi restart
      107  netstat -an | grep 172.16.2.30
      111  cat network.conf
      112  cat xapi-ssl.pem
      113  hostname -f
      116  xe host-list params=uuid,name-label,host-metrics-live
      117  xe host-is-in-emergency-mode
      121  xe host-emergency-ha-disable --force
      122  xe sr-list
      123  xe host-list params=uuid,name-label,host-metrics-live
      

      Test attempt:

      Not being able to use any particular XCP-ng server, I powered them all off. Then I set up a 4th fresh XCP-ng on another computer - Dell R620.

      Problem: (Dell R620)

      1. mounting exiting SR's takes much longer than before. Instead of 10 seconds, it's two minutes for example.
      2. The windows 2012 w/exchange 2013 VM takes hours to start and exchange services don't start. The network and sharing dialog won't load.

      I realize this sounds like a soap opera, but it is my situation. It probably sounds like a country song, I lost my job, then my car, then my wife, then my.....

      I will post the last error messages from the XCP-ng log later today.

      Many thanks for your patience with me.

      Update 12:50pm:

      I edited the post above in many places. Read it again if you already read it.
      There are no errors in the XCP-ng center log.

      Update 7:50pm:

      I clarified the post title and that the original three servers are powered off. The R620 is the only one running now.
