    • RE: Issues Mounting NFS Remote for Backups

      Just tested, that was it. It was a 10 second fix to something I spent hours on. Well if anyone comes across this and is able to mount NFS storage pools successfully but cannot mount Backup Remotes, check that the Orchestra server itself (not the xcp-ng server) is on your NFS host ACL.

      Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this and especially to those that responded.

      Before I head down that path, does that make sense? Is it the case that when you mount an nfs storage pool, Orchestra triggers xcp-ng to mount that which is why I could mount and create virtual disks. Whereas the Backup Remote is mounted by the Orchestra server rather than directly from xcp-ng? Or is that not the case...or do i just need to RTFM here?

      I'm stupid. I forget that Orchestra is not running on the xcp-ng server (which I wish it did btw). I think I need to add the Orchestra server to the NAS allow list. Ugh, i can't believe how much time I spent on this for such an obvious oversight.

      Is it the fact that I am running that with sudo in a terminal? Do I need to change something so Orchestra can do that without sudo?

      I manually created the directory structure that the backup\remote store was trying to use and manually mounted the nfs to that. I verified that all the settings for the remote datastore matched. I can, in terminal, see the test data in the mountpoint. Running the backup with the NFS already mounted produces the same error.

      Command failed with exit code 32: mount -o vers=3 -t nfs 172.23.1.20:/VM /run/xo-server/mounts/7f13127e-3167-4cc1-921a-6dd955984899 mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 172.23.1.20:/VM
      

      Now I suspect if it needs to mount the store itself, it will fail if I already have it mounted to the location it wants to use. But what I don't get is, from a terminal, I can sucessfully run:

      sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3 172.23.1.20:/VM /run/xo-server/mounts/7f13127e-3167-4cc1-921a-6dd955984899
      

      but it seems to me, this is what the backup is trying to run unsuccessfully. What am I missing here?

      I'm sorry for the delay, life happens huh.

      Anyway, I don't see it here but i seem to recall someone asking what if I try to mount it at the same location as the backup is. I get an error that the location doesn't exist. The path that the most recent backup I setup is trying to mount to is:

      /run/xo-server/mounts/7f13127e-3167-4cc1-921a-6dd955984899
      

      However that path does not exist. I do not have /run/xo-server. My run directory looks like this:

      atd.pid         mdadm               rpc.statd.pid  tapback.36

      mcelog.pid      rpc.statd.lock      tapback.35     xtables.lock
      

      And yes, I built this from sources. The process went smooth with no anomalies. What's weird is I can mount this NFS as a normal datastore and create virtual disks on there without issue. I suspect this would address the permissions question. Does the Orchestra Backup feature use a different "user" than the rest of Orchestra? Did I maybe miss something in the build process?

    • Issues Mounting NFS Remote for Backups

      I am having issues mounting an NFS Remote store for backups using XO. I'm on XCP-NG 8.1 with xo-server 5.66.0 and xo-web 5.69.0.

      The error I receive is as follows:

      Command failed with exit code 32: mount -o vers=3 -t nfs 172.23.1.20:/VM /run/xo-server/mounts/7f13127e-3167-4cc1-921a-6dd955984899 mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 172.23.1.20:/VM
      

      I am able to manually mount from shell (including the ability to write) using

      sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3 172.23.1.20:/VM /mnt/nfs-test/
      

      I also am able to successfully mount this as a standard nfs SR without issue in XO. This device is a QNAP so I've done some digging into the issues surrounding that such as:
      https://github.com/xapi-project/sm/issues/511

      But it seems as though this may not be the issue since showmount shows both columns (unless I missed something).

      showmount -e 172.23.1.20
      Export list for 172.23.1.20:
      /Public *
      /VM     172.23.1.17,172.23.1.16
      

      I've also tried using vers=4 (which version 4 also works when mounting in XO as a standard nfs SR). What's weird with that is it seems to leave vers=3 in there and just appends ,vers=4 and I get a protocol error:

      Command failed with exit code 32: mount -o vers=3,vers=4 -t nfs 172.23.1.20:/VM /run/xo-server/mounts/7f13127e-3167-4cc1-921a-6dd955984899 mount.nfs: Protocol not supported
      

      Lastly, I've also created a folder at the root of the nfs share and tried to mount that but receive the same error:

      Command failed with exit code 32: mount -o vers=3 -t nfs 172.23.1.20:/VM/backups /run/xo-server/mounts/7f13127e-3167-4cc1-921a-6dd955984899 mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 172.23.1.20:/VM/backups
      

      I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. This is my first experience with Xen and everything else seemed to go well...even passing through disks to FreeNAS. This seems pretty straightforward but I just can seem to get it working. Any help would be appreciated. TIA
