Still trying to identify the owner of a job so the I can determine which backup job failed. The email report does not identify the host/pool. Accordingly, I need to login to every individual XO/XOA and check the backup log manually to find the failed job.
Hyper-V has the concept of Dynamic memory as documented below. This allows a startup mem value to be specified and something similar could be used for health checks as this is only needed for the network to connect then them VM gets killed.
Other hypervisors I have used do not perform the healthcheck as an auto restore on a different host so I cannot say. It would be good if the healthcheck could start the VM with the minimum memory value configured.
The results are good!
Before increasing the VM memory to reduce paging:

One problem we now have is the new VM memory exceeds the DR host's memory so the health check fails "no hosts available". It would be good if a health check could be started using a lesser mem value as it only needs the network to activate to pass.
I do not know how CBT works but will take a look.
Thank you. Can a filter be used too?
root@xo:~# xo-cli --list-commands | grep backupNg.getLogs
`--list-commands` is deprecated and will be removed in the future, use `list-commands` subcommand instead
backupNg.getLogs [after=<number|string>] [before=<number|string>] [limit=<number>] *=<unknown type>

root@xo:~# xo-cli backupNg.getLogs --json limit=500

I have the Backup Reports plugin working and it sends an email after each report.
I would like to export the backup logs for the last 3 months and I have tried:
xo-cli backupNg.getLogs
However the export appears to be truncated ending with:
... 1919 more items
The server had high memory usage so I expect lots of paging, which could explain the block writes. I've increased the mem and want to see what difference that makes.
Thanks for the clarification.
So this means it is not directly rated to files being updated rather disk changes which may or may not be a result of files being updated. So me searching for the large files that have been changed since the last delta is a waste of time?
I guess something like a defrag would result in a large delta too.
I have a Windows RDS server that has an hourly delta backup. I expect these backups to only be 1.5GB or so however they are now over 150GB.
Is the delta backup only looking for file changes and if so 150GB should be easy enough to identify whwn comparing tow deltas.
Is there a recommended way to diagnose large delta backups?
Thank you.
Can disks be different sizes?
How does XOSTOR manage the scenario of a host going offline? Is there a type of RAID or similar?
I am looking to setup shared storage for VMs and have bare metal servers hosted with OVH Cloud however, unfortunately OVH does not allow block storage with bare metal servers.
I have been looking for a shared storage solution and I just discovered XOSTOR and have a few questions
Q1) If I order my bare metal servers with additional NVMe disks can I use these disks together as type of shared storage for the VM VDIs?
Q2) Would the XOSTOR performance be acceptable for VDIs?
Q3) As I add new hosts to the pool can I add the new hosts additional disks to XOSTOR to dynamically increase the XOSTOR storage?
I have delta backups that are excessive in size and I wish to compare two using WinMerge
https://winmerge.org/
How can I restore only the disks from two delta backups so they can be attached to an existing VM?
Q1) Is it possible to change the management interface via XOA? I can do it via XS console & I am sure via CLI too.
Q2) What is the significant of the management interface? As I can assign it to one of many interfaces the question is which is the best one to select.
Thanks
I need a new ID for Active Directory, otherwise AD things both VMs are the same computer.
In Hyper-V when I export and import a VM I can assign a new ID
In XO/XOA how can I copy a VM and assigned a new ID?
I need to move my hosts to a new network.
I have reconfigured the network interface and now the host shows "No interface configured"
I am still able to ping the host.
As the network has changed, the slave is no longer able to communicate with the master.
I am unable to access the interface to put it back to the way it was before.
What is the best way to proceed? I am happy for this host to be totally removed from the pool.
