    • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

      @manilx yup, same here
      we evacuate & roll patch manually because RPU is inconsistent in achieving a full pool update nowadays

      maximum hosts in pools are 3, so it is still easy to process manually
      thoses with 5-6+ hosts must be more painful

    • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

      @marcoi perhaps a restart toolstack would correct the phantom task ?
      but at the end of patching of the master a restart toolstack should have happened already, automatically...

    • RE: broken backup in XOA 6.5 ? orphan VDI Directory, not referenced by any backup

      @Bastien-Nollet Sorry, I had to revert back to 6.3.3, and didnt save the logs...
      but as far as I remember, it was not an UI issue, even in the logs it didnt put any transfer informations

      @pierrebrunet i'll report back as soon as we test 6.5.1 on this same client infrastructure

    • RE: CBR start operation is blocked

      @Milenko if this is a definitive migration pathway for you, you can force start the replica VM, no problem, you can even delete the replica snapshot.
      Just disable the job at source, it will create a new replica VM otherwise

      if it is just a test boot of the replica, fast clone it, and start the fast clone (beware of double ip addressing while doing so... source VM should be halted, or replica clone should be started without network)

    • RE: broken backup in XOA 6.5 ? orphan VDI Directory, not referenced by any backup

      @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

      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
      c4b1b4bf-f203-44f1-8047-76bf403bfd60-image.jpeg
      still no transfer size

      and still no apparent size

    • broken backup in XOA 6.5 ? orphan VDI Directory, not referenced by any backup

      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 :
      d0a0d6ef-a543-4e8c-9c5e-9870fc8ad541-image.jpeg

      Each job goes like that :

      restore point size is N/D !

      XOA seems to be working a16620f8-d88c-4155-9845-a44def94088d-image.jpeg

      any idea @florent @bastien-nollet ?

    • RE: Continuous Replication Speed

      @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.

    • RE: Attach a Physical HD to a VM?

      @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

    • RE: Slow Backups | XOA Performance Test – Upgrading from 2 vCPU to 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM

      @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.

      it could appear when a host is selected in the tree view?

      or as a tooltip when the cursor fly-over the name of th VM / host

    • RE: visual bug in backup data

      @pierrebrunet @poddingue

      the size is really 2.17Tb, but showing last incremental size on the key
      I'll wait for the patch, this is really a visual bug, backup is working okay.

    • visual bug in backup data

      hello there, still XOA 6.3.3 here.

      since the last big XObackup & CR reworking, we have an annoying bug
      6db625da-2a61-4860-bc50-5c6adae0ae33-image.jpeg

      This VM is 2.17Tb
      bc28b5ef-f37d-4bf9-b016-921309c17353-image.jpeg

      how can be the KEY is 9.1Gb ?
      In fact the KEY size is good, but when retention of 10 points is obtained, the merging of last incremental in the first KEY point of the chain erase the size.

      So in our restore view, data sizes are all wrong, based on the sum of this key + 9 inc

      @florent could you do something about that ?

    • RE: Understanding Auto Power On | Auto Start

      @poddingue there is a notion of appliance too (group of VMs)
      https://docs.xcp-ng.org/appendix/cli_reference/#appliance-commands

      where you can start/stop a group of VMs, never tried it, doesn't seem to have a boot order in the vAPP neither

    • RE: XenOrchestra not showing VM Disks on Pool (on single Server working) - XCP-ng Center is showing them

      if you have other SRs, migrating VDIs/VMs is known to correct the "visual issue"

      the bug just populates a metadata of the VDI making XOA Web UI believe it's a snapshot, and it is not...

      a dev told us in another thread they are on it, but it will be a two phase remediation I believe, correcting the bug so that it doesn't reproduce and a way to script out this metadata on impacted VDIs

      this is only guesses
