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?

Emergency Reset Worked. ty

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.

@olivierlambert

Is this listed on GitHub so I can track any discussion/progress?

I am keen to see this implemented as currently we receive backup reports of failed jobs and have no idea which host is came from.

@olivierlambert

Whilst this request awaits implementation. If I check all hosts individually however I identify the host based upon the jobID or runID from the notification?

Happens over and over?

A quick follow up for anyone performing warm migrations.

If you elect for the migrated VM to be powered on post migration, then the option to protect from accidental shutdown needs to be off to enable the source VM to be turned off when the migrated VM it turned on.

If you like the thrill of adrenaline and elect for the source VM to be deleted post migration then the protect from accidental deletion would also need to be turned off. I am not that brave.

Is it possible to rename the pool from the host cli?

@DustinB

Thanks Dustin. This is exactly our goal setup.

Thinking further, as XO/XOA could be hosted on either host it would make sense to host this on the DR host.

@olivierlambert

100%

Our setup is to have two xcp-ng servers at a client site:

1. Master = Production Server
2. Slave = DR Server

I just performed an update of both servers and it appeared that when the pool master was offline the DR server was also unavailable? Is this the correct?

If so then, as I would need the DR server to be available in the event of the Production server failing, the two servers would need to be in separate single server pools.

I have a backup job to Wasabi (S3) that kicks off at 8pm.

When the job runs a task is created in the task list however after a while the tasks disappears.

The backup job is still listed as active:

The router shows large amounts of traffic flowing from Xen Orchestra to Wasabi

This indicates to me that the backup is still actively transferring data somehow...

@olivierlambert

Good point, the UUID of the host or pool would also work.

@ph7

OK, I see the difference.

When an individual VM fails to backup the report is as your shown above and displays the name of the VM however when the job fails as a whole the report inly includes the top section that has a Job ID & Run ID so no way I can see to identify where this job.

i.e.

@olivierlambert
Could these reports include both the pool name and host name in addition to the Job ID and Run ID?

@ph7

Thank you. Let me try that.
