Just finalizing the conversation here that we feel pretty confident in the changes we've made to the update script.

You can update by downloading a new copy of the script or manually making the changes to the file.

The script will now reset any custom git changes that don't match the source, then the script will proceed, and make the necessary changes to enable the feature so you can import your config files.

@Danp a distro upgrade would likely be the easier approach. I'm performing this now on my system.

(first day back to work in 11-days!)

@olivier said in XenServer hyperconverged:

We validated our first provider: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xosan-on-10gbps-io/

Next? Probably a hardware provider 🙂

Congrats

All I have to run is ./xo-update.sh

I'll improve the doc to be sure there no confusion possible 🙂

@fuznutz04 said in Xen Orchestra SMB Remote problem:

So circling back to this, I was determined to add an SMB remote backup share. Instead of adding a remote SMB backup share through XO, I just mounted the SMB share through Ubuntu where XO is installed. In this case, I mounted to /Backups. Then setup a "local" remote in XO that points to /Backups. Backups are now running and being stored on a remote computer.

Awesome.

@Ambarishrh said in How can i refresh my iso library on XO:

Got it! Thanks a lot. 🙂

You're welcome.

I actually used XO to migrate the VM that XO was running on.

Now THAT was cool!

Oh, the picture loaded after I posted.

This has been really common lately. Not sure if it is a side effect of Cloudflare or the last NodeBB update.

NodeBB I think. It loads the image when you scroll to or past the post that has it in it.

@Danp said in XO - Unknown error occurred while trying to start a VM:

Do you have a Default SR established?

Haven't done that, will check.

For now, i followed the advise of @DustinB3403 and setup Ubuntu server with XO! 🙂 All working fine.

@hobbit666 Glad the script worked for you as well, @Danp is due a lot of props well, he took what I started with and really developed it.

Bug found, scheduled for release in 4.15

At the moment I can access the NFS Share using WinSCP, and copy from the NFS Share to my windows PC without issue, but I don't believe I can schedule this.

With PuTTY you can.

Care to elaborate?

PuTTY comes with a command line SCP client.

I never noticed / knew that!

Took me like a decade or so before someone pointed it out to me recently too 🙂

it's robocopy all over again 😛

@olivier FWIW, I just retested on the latest next-release with the same results. If I disconnect / reconnect the server from within XO, the "ghost" VM is now gone.

@Dashrender said:

The whole point of my post was simply to ask if XO (or XS) was really something normal IT admins should be using.

Knowing that you are pushing this product (XO) is definitely helpful toward that end.

I got the answer I was looking for, which is - yes it's definitely something IT admins should be using or at least learning.

Perfect timing...

@scottalanmiller said in Xen Orchestra / Metadata backup?:

Citrix says to not back up the host and it appears that megadata is stored on the SR. Has anyone attempted to restore without the metadata backup to see what would come up as missing? Having done something basically like this, I thought that I got all of the data that you would be looking for (minus logs.)

It restores the VDIs, but doesn't associate them with VMs. Nor does it create VMs.

So you just have a bunch of VDIs.

I really want to play with Xen and Xen Orchestra but don't have two spare servers ........ Yet!

Only one needed to get started playing with that.

Yeah but I like the sound of replication 😄

More than high availability?

@olivier As requested new topic on your forums.

https://xen-orchestra.com/forum/topic/133/xo-vm-disappears-from-web-console

Hi there!

XO just uses the host.address value from XAPI, for all operations (backup which use the XAPI HTTP handler for export but also import, consoles, etc.)

You'll have to find a way to have XAPI telling that host.address is the one you want.

The XAPI doc says:

The address by which this host can be contacted from any other host in the pool

See http://xapi-project.github.io/xen-api/classes/host.html

@DustinB3403 you mean the impending death 😉
