Hey , Thanks for that .
Giving it a try now .:)

Hi I am back with a new help request :).

Currently working on a project in which i need to upgrade my XenServer 6.5 to Latest xenserver 7.
I am planning to run the xenserver from a usb drive. just wanted to know if anyone have tried this.

Thanks,
Ajin

Yes It is

Thank-you all for the valuble suggetions

@scottalanmiller Thankyou .

I was just testing moving the VM to the new storage , moved the VM to the new storage , changed the mac id and it works good , Now i can take snap since the vm resides in the new storage with enough space for snapshot

The VM is running from internal drive in my server.

IT an External drive , which i have added to Xenserver with the following command .

xe sr-create name-label="Local Storege 2 LACIE HDD" shared=false device-config:device=/dev/sdc type=lvm

Thanks for the reply Dustin.

My actual need is to take a snapshot of the Development server before making any vital changes in the server , so that i can revert safely if any thing goes wrong , as reverting snapshot will take very little time and easy to perform.

Hi Team,

Back in Mangolassi after some time

This time i have come with something related to Xen Server.

I have a xen server with 2 TB HDD. (Default Local disk)

Inside the XenServer Host i have a developement server which occupies 1.6 TB space .

My problem is that i cannot take a snapshot of the Developent server because of its space , 2 TB Disk is already occupied with 1.6 TB server files !

Error displayed : The specified storage space have insufficient space.

Now i have added a 3 TB HDD as a second Local disk (Local disk 2) by thinking that the extra space will solve my issue , But still the same issue continues.

(Image attached : Local storage is the default storage and local storage 2 LACIE HDD is the newly added one .)

The tick mark in the Local Storage makes it as the default storage repository . If i make the Newly added Local storage as default i wont be able to access current server i guess.

Is there any way to configure in such a way that the snapshots can be taken to the New Local disk i have added.

Yes , No automated removals.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions DustinB3403 & scottalanmiller.

My goal is not to remove the files immediately but to get a notification email, verify with team and cleanup upon confirmation.

Hi Guys,

Have a project , which i am working on

I have a couple of servers based on linux OS.
Users will leave backups as tar.gz files back and i need to find out and remove them.
Need a script which searches and lists the tar.gz files in servers.
And have written a script for this , but this will only give the path and filename.

#Tar Files in the server.

rm -rf /home/tar.gz.txt
cd /home
find . -size +1M -name "*.tar.gz" > /home/tar.gz.txt && mail -s 'Tar_File Report' email@mydomain
< /home/tar.gz.txt

The output which i am planning to get is like the below .

List of tar files with path from each server as a consolidated e-mail
An e-mail should be triggered every month (a cron can be set for this)
The email should consist of the file path and a short note about the number of files and total size for the tar.gz files.

can i get some help on this please .
