      @dustinb3403 This the output:

      Jun 08 15:16:43 xong systemd[1]: Failed to start XO Server.

      But this is expected as there's no active directory in /opt, just the .old copies.

      Also, how do I backup the old config and how do I start clean?

        In order to export a config backup the system would need to be working, do you have a snapshot you can revert to that was working? If so, revert login to Export, export the config file and then make a new Debian/Ubuntu VM and reinstall. Then just import your config file into the new installation and shutdown the old installation.

          @dustinb3403 If I rename the two .old directories in /opt, xo starts.

          You really think it's necessary to start from scratch? Isn't there a way to clean everything xo related and compile from the start?

            Well there might be, the most simple approach is often to just build a new instance. XO is designed to be disposable, since you can always just import your configuration.

            Rebuilding takes maybe 15 minutes (in most cases).

              @dustinb3403 In case I want to recompile from scratch on the same VM, should I clear /opt? Is that enough?

                Yeah just remove the folders that have xen-orchestra.

                  @dustinb3403 Ugh, I ran into yet another issue: apparently, recent ubuntu distro have a great deal of issue booting on XenServer 7.0, which I need to keep... can't update...
                  At the same time, it seems every boot media for 16.10 has disappeared from existence... so, what's the recommended ubuntu distro for this, that is available currently for download?

                    "Current" is the recommended distro, always current. If you are having issues with Ubuntu you can use Debian as well.

                      Are you using the latest version of XenServer? The latest version is 7.5

                        His hardware might have compatibility issues or some other such issue.

                          @dustinb3403 It's more like no downtime allowed, hence no chance to update. I'm trying with 18.04 server, but I need to be able to specify a couple of kernel parameters at boot or it won't start...

                            The mythos of "No downtime" means your business doesn't understand that scheduled downtime is usually way less downtime compared to unplanned downtime.

                              Which Ubuntu 18.04 iso did you download?

                              By default, you end up downloading there new installer.
                              http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64.iso

                              The old installer can be found here:
                              http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04/release/ubuntu-18.04-server-amd64.iso

                                @black3dynamite I used the old one, and it worked. I succesfully installed xo now. Normally, I'd like to know what went wrong, but it's too late and friday 🙂
