Hey all,

We are proud of our new setup, full XCPng hosting solution we racked in a datacenter today.
This is the production node, tomorrow i'll post the replica node !

XCPng 8.3, HPE hardware obviously, and we are preparing full automation of clients by API (from switch vlans to firewall public IP, and automatic VM deployment).

This needs a sticker "Vates Inside" #vent

Hi,

Smart backups are wonderful to manage smart selection of VMs to be backuped.

When we browse the RESTORE section, would be cool to get the TAGs back visually, and possibility to filter them
I'd like to get "all VMs restorable with this particular TAG" type of filter, hope i'm clear.

Perhaps something to add to XO6 ?

just to #brag

Deploy of worker is okay (one big rocky linux with default settings 6vcpu, 6Gb RAM, 100Gb vdi)

first backup is fine, with decent speed ! (to a xcp hosted S3 minio)

will keep testing

@sluflyer06 and I wish HPE would be added too

is there anywhere where we can check the backlog / work in progress / to be done on XO6 ?

I did stick to version: 1 in my working configuration

Had to rename my "Ethernet 2" nic name to Ethernet2 without the space

You have to put the exact template nic name for this to work.

@MajorP93 throw in multiple garbage collections during snap/desnap of backups on a XOSTOR SR, and these SR scans really get in the way

Could we have a way to know wich backup is part of LTR ?
In veeam B&R, when doing LTR/GFS, there is a letter like W(weekly) M(monthly) Y(yearly)to signal the fact in the UI

That's pure cosmectics indeed, but practical.

@simonp patched tonight, a job who took 3 hours yesterday took only 1 tonight.
so, big improvment !

need to re up concurrency to 2 or 4 on some jobs to see if I can squeeze more time on the backup window

hey,

Could be of some interest for french speakers and why not others in the forums :

@acebmxer had a combo error on some VMs "fell back to full" and "not referenced by any backup" but no tranfer size either.

can't screenshot it anymore, I did a rollback to XOA 6.3 for the time being, snapshoted just before the upgrade

@acebmxer but you have SIZE and SPEED

same error but I do not even have these infos.

did a full VM restoration on an "N/D" backup point, was successful

so it seems backup is backuping buuuuut not reporting correct transfer size

halp

some VMs do take more than 30 seconds, and do not have the error

still no transfer size

and still no apparent size

is the XO backup working ?!

Hi,

Today we updated from XOA 6.3.3 to 6.5
XCP is full up to date.

Since then, the backups are successful but do not seem to transfer any data ?
Comparison between yesterday and today :

Each job goes like that :

restore point size is N/D !

XOA seems to be working

any idea @florent @bastien-nollet ?

@tsukraw I think the bottleneck is indeed the tapdisk and smapiv1.

We have full 10Gb WDM between nominal and DR site, and get the same transfer speeds as you on CR.

@nasheayahu Hi, you could passthrough the controller hosting these disks if its independant of the disks hosting the XCP itself I guess...

but not really recommended ? perhaps someone has another solution

@LoTus111 nice, but could be better
you're missing the additionnal step in the TIPS section here :
https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/xo5/troubleshooting#memory

upgrading XOA to 8Gb is not enough, you have to tell xo services to be able to use this additionnal RAM.

@johnnezero this could be a plugin in XOA !

@julienXOvates sounds promising !!

@gashorus in last veeam webinar they announced for veeam v13.1 (currently 13.0.1) to be out of beta on XCP-NG plugin...
