Xen Orchestra Backup, Single VM Failing

As I said on the topic where he's asked:

For me, it's mainly XO when talking about sources, XOA the appliance. But XOS if you like, it doesn't matter

LOL, that's very different than what he said you said He thought that XO mean XOA and no term existed for XO itself.

But that's easy:

XO stands for "Xen Orchestra"
XOA is "Xen Orchestra virtual Appliance"

That's what I said!

Exactly!

There is no such thing as XOS. Because where else would you get XO but from the source? Even XOA uses the source, just managed by someone else and not the actual user.

More to the point -- did you figure out if there was a fix for this issue? I am having the same problem on my freshly installed XO setup.

@dafyre Did you remove it and re-add it? or did you want a better solution?

olivier

Any log output?

I did remove and re-add it, but that did not fix it.

Where can I look to find the logs for it?

olivier

@dafyre Depends of how do you install it. It's the output of xo-server.

I found xo-server and xo-server-logs in /opt/bin (this is installed using @DustinB3403 and @scottalanmiller 's install script.

It worked the first time with the pretty green "Terminated" logo.... but every time after that , it give me the sad red ones. This is a Windows 2012 R2 server if that matters... I just installed the xen-tools a few minutes ago.

The backup is running from my XO VM which is also on the same XenServer as the Windows server if that matters.

Is Terminated a good thing in this case?

If it's red, no.

Green yes.

dafyre

When it is green, yes. That means the backup finished, I think.

Edit: Dustin beat me to it.

Ah, that is a bit confusing (I understand the lights.) I saw that when I did my first backup and assumed terminated means something failed.

dafyre

We'll have to bug @oliver if it doesn't change after they get the new UI in place, lol.

dafyre

@olivier -- the xo-server-logs and xo-server are only outputting generic information and don't display anything useful for me to debug this on the screen. Is this written to a file anywhere?

olivier

You should see something in the xo-server output right when you trigger the backup job.

I'm removing the word "Terminated" by "Finished" ASAP.

Perfect thank you. I don't know why when I see terminated I think "this is bad"... especially when it basically means finished.

brianlittlejohn

Yea, terminated has a bad connotation to it... i know i immediately equate it to "fired"
