Ah good catch @andersonalipio ! We'll check that

Ping @Team-XAPI-Network

5 minutes is clearly an HTTP timeout, the question is way we are reaching this timeout in the first place.

Ping @Team-OS-Platform-Release

Are you sure it really worked? Because we fixed something that swallowed the error before. Maybe it was successful while in fact not working. When you have some hosts down in a pool, you cannot safely export metadata because XAPI can't tell if the other hosts are dead, disconnected or simply stopped.

@JB I'd like to test a different way of investigating the problem. So I won't do it for many people, just send me a private message with a way to SSH to your host and XOA, promise it's not a scam

Is there a way in private message to give access to the XCP-ng host and XO VM in question OR to get all logs from 2 machines somewhere? 5min is clearly a timeout error.

What kind of storage are you using? Is it a 4K block native storage?

You should be able to see if you can create a virtual disk easily with xe vdi-create name-label=test virtual-size=1G sr-uuid=356475ac-…

Very cool, thanks for the feedback @maximsachs !

Hi! No, but check XO logs/output to see what's going on

@john.c I really liked your "Jean C." signature before your edit You should keep it

Great, thanks for the feedback!

Logs are providing interesting results. Discussing internally about it in the next week to see what could be improved about it.

A remote is not the same thing as a SR. For a remote, it's simple: disconnect it (click on "Enabled" so it's disabled then), do whatever you need on the NFS server, re-enable.

Happy to read the logs when you can provide them!

Hi,

Disconnecting the remote is indeed enough: as long as you don't interrupt an NFS share while mounted, it's fine

Excellent! It's really cool to see how XO Backup and Replication can help you to migrate easily

Hi! Can you try to replicate on the latest commit?

@poddingue your ping cannot work if the team is called between backticks.

Yes, you can force start and remove the backup job and that's it.

Then use "warm migration" or create a CR job in Xen Orchestra with your VM source on XenServer 7 targeting your XCP-ng 8.3 host. This way, you can validate if they boot on destination.
