Xen Orchestra SMB Remote problem

AdamF

So I followed this guide, but it was a couple weeks ago. I don't remember deviating from the guide though.

@fuznutz04 To clarify, I followed the original post, which used Scott's script, not the manual instructions further down in the post.

@fuznutz04 Post the output of sudo systemctl status xo-server.service .

P.S. Your link above is broken.

Fixed the link above, thanks. The output is:

@fuznutz04 so your XO installation is running, and there aren't any apparent issues being reported.

You said you were manually able to connect to the SMB share using the XO cli, if you try to connect to the SMB in the web interface what happens?

Is this share hosted on a domain?

DustinB3403

From the CLI of XO put in

watch sudo systemctl status xo-server.service

and then try to connect to the SMB share from the web interface.

Using Putty is highly recommended

@DustinB3403

No, this is a single server, in a lab, in a workgroup. Connecting from the XO Web interface does nothing at all. No error message on the screen. If I open developer tools in Chrome, it shows me a little more about what's happening. see below.

ebSocket connection to 'ws://192.168.1.246/api/' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

So every time I click the connect button in the web UI of XO, it seems to restart XO server. Then the only other message that I see that gives me a clue is : xo:api (unknown user) | session.signIn(...) [3ms] ==> object. Full output below.

Without providing the password; what do you have in your SMB connection setting?

You were able to connect to the SMB share from the XO console right?

AdamF

@DustinB3403

In the CLI of the VM where XO is installed:

smbclient //192.168.1.200/xsbackups -U xenbackups

Then of course I'm prompted for the password and it connect immediately.

DustinB3403

@fuznutz04 I assume you meant to use \

It's odd that this works from the CLI but not the web interface.

In the address field which is proceeded by \\ and then <address\share>* are you typing in the double \\ or just putting in "192.168.1.200\xsbackups"?

DustinB3403

Or are you putting in just the ip address of the server, and in the following field putting in the folder?

AdamF

It will only allow you to put in the correct format of IP\Share. So in this example, i only put in 192.168.1.200\xsbackups. xsbackups is the name of the SMB share.

I keep looking at this connection refused error. It makes me think it is something specifically with the web interface, or that the API is not working properly.

DustinB3403

It might be a bug that needs to go up to @olivier to take a look at.

olivier

Please put a screenshot here with how you filled those fields.

mrfusion is the name of my desktop where the share is located. I also tried putting in the workgroup name in that field instead of the PC name.

Opening Chrome developer tools gives me these messages when trying to either add the remote share.

olivier

It seems you have side issues with connection between you browser and the server. Are you in HTTPS?

No, I'm not using HTTPS. I've tried from both Safari as well as Chrome so far from multiple computers. I've also disabled the firewall completely on the XO box just to rule that out. Still having the same issue,

olivier

Even antivirus software are a pain with websocket protocols. That's why we recommend to go in HTTPS before going further in debug.

Is HTTPS supposed to be configured during the installation of XO? I cant connect if I try to connect via HTTPS. Are there instructions available regarding how to set that piece up? Thanks for your help!
