@FATeknollogee said in ZeroTier on XenServer 7.0 host: Thanks @Francesco-Provino thats why I rely on the experts! You're welcome! Now I know I'm an "expert" in something :D.

@FATeknollogee hi, what model of sfp are u using. I'm getting the same error. Thanks!

No, those pics are from SuperDoctor 5, It's a 1:1 free Server management tool https://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/SMS_SD5.cfm

Whatever happened to having a "live" 2nd copy? You can still make a copy of a SATA DOM to a USB stick. Can you automate this ? Not realistically, no.

@FATeknollogee said in XenServer backup: XenToolBox: @scottalanmiller I have zero experience with XTB & that's what prompted my initial question. That's worth something. I'm just wondering what we should be looking for. What's the proposed value. Without knowing that, it's easy to overlook during testing.

For XS export speed: YMMV. I don't have major issues on my side, but some people (let's say 10/15%) had problems. I suppose it's more related to a hardware problem. I see improvements yes, but at the margin, I'm often saturating my GB link.

@xisco yes, xenstore-utils was installed - i suppose it was installed by ubuntu setup

@hobbit666 said in Unitrends Enterprise Backup and XenServer 7: AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Can't restore a VM Backup that was done on ESXi onto Hyper-V! only another ESXi. Do you need the entire backup of the machine? You can mount the image of the backup and restore any files anywhere you want.

That's one of those hotfixes that suck because it really has to be implemented ASAP.

@Kelly It doesn't help that most of us have to use the xe sr-create command once every 4-5 years.

Easy enough to add to XS7 I assume, but sucks that it isn't the default.

That is all dependent on how comfortable you are with software / hardware raid. Even for software RAID experts, hardware RAID is easier. well yeah - it's practically plug and play - so few options. Plus, in hardware RAID (assuming the chassis supports it) you get hot swap, something you don't get with Software RAID. All enterprise software RAID has hot swap and always has. Only FakeRAID doesn't offer that and even that sometimes does. Hot swap is basically ubiquitous. Even ridiculous Windows software RAID has hot swap. excuse me, I used the wrong term - I meant Blind swap - the lack of need to tell the OS to demount the drive before you pull it from the system. Yes, now that software RAID generally lacks.
