Ok, got it fixed.
I was treating the allocation like I would in Hyper-V, KVM is slightly different.

Setting the Current & Max allocation to the same amounts, 8 or 16, fixed things up.

As long as you don't delete all my datas because my online account has issues!

Very true. You can use a traditional tool, store a backup locally then take any sort of backup of the local system that way.

@DustinB3403 said in VyOS - Best practices and questions:

I think BGP has to do intricately with the OP, just because I wasn't aware of BGP as the technology used, doesn't mean it wasn't what I was trying to figure out.

It's literally the last question in the OP, what do you do if you lose the physical interface for fail over. Answer: Use BGP.

uh - no. That assumes the ISP is what failed, not the NIC that failed on the firewall. Those are two different things.

So then restore from backup on a host that has enough capacity, and just kill the power to the other host.

Of course, having your DC and email server inside the same VM will be more problematic than just being one or the other...

I found the process I had used previously. Here it is here. Summarized below.

Make sure the VM in question is shutdown.
From the console xe vm-shutdown uuid=<UUID of Your VM> xe vbd-list vm-uuid=<UUID of Your VM> params=uuid,type xe vbd-destroy uuid=<UUID of Your CD/DVD> Of critical importance do not select Disk, ensure you select the UUID of the cd Repeat step 4 as many times as you have CD's that are unusable. Reboot the VM and add the device again.

@coliver I know, I wasn't even included in the conversation at the time when we migrated to O365, and I wasn't included in the conversation when they setup Hyper-V.

Nor was I included when they built this VM, or the other reporting VM on Hyper-V to which 16GB of memory and 2 cores assigned to it...

Just make a new partition, don't worry about extending the existing one.

So I tested the backup functionality within XOS and the appliance backs it's self up without issue.

Wow!

No additional tools required. Great design @olivier !

Yeah, searching for NFS, not a VM was the first thing that came to my mind.

Note, always give back..
