I tried to fill in the IP address with brackets, but then the discovery of the NFS shares fails.

With regular SRs, it works fine without using brackets.

Hi Oliver,

Ik works fine with regular SRs.

Good afternoon,

I am unable to define an NFS ISO store on a NAS with an IPv6 address. However, I am able to create NFS SRs using the same IPv6 address.

Configuration:

• XCP-ng fresh install of version 8.3 (with the latest patches applied)
• Xen Orchestra - commit 6c258
• NAS with IPv6 net

Walkthrough:
The 'Create a new SR' in Xen Orchestra works fine, I can put an IPv6 address in for the option 'server' and then I am able to select a path from a discovery of the nas options.
When I then press the 'Create' button, an error occurs.

sr.createIso

Good afternoon,

I have a fresh install of XCP-ng 8.3 with IPv6 only,
When opening XO-lite I get an error - see attachment.

In the message, a reference is made to 'localhost'. This is of course incorrect.

Happy to help resolve the issue by answering questions or testing something.

Kind regards,

Pim Aarts

When creating a new NFS storage, under the section ‘Storage usage’ I see a number of entries and the option to ‘link’.

My questions:

• what does this mean?
• what can I do with this?

Unfortunately, I could not find any information.

Thanks,

Pim

@olivierlambert Without any change in the configuration, the backup now reports to be successful. Next step is to check whether the backups will restore correctly.

The mystery still stands - what was wrong previously.

@olivierlambert I created a bug report - #6502

@olivierlambert

Thanks for the quick response. However, I see only:

and that does not help.

Kind regards, Pim

I backup my VMs regularly. Of all the VMs backup up in the same job, one always fails.

My question:

• how can I determine why the backup of this specific VM fails?

In the logs (Settings / Logs) I do not see any entry related to this failure.

Kind regards,

Pim
