      @fuznutz04 I'm not aware of any other well developed tools to manage XenServer, outside of Xen Orchestra (mildly XenCenter).

        What version of XO? Make sure you are running a recent version as there have been some updates to this code recently.

        Also, open a PuTTY window and connect to your XO host. Then run the following command to observe the XO log in realtime: journalctl -u xo-server -f -n 50

        Now try connecting to the SMB share via XO and watch for any meaningful output in the logs.

          I'm running 5.2.3 for XO server and 5.2.1 for the web client.

          Following your steps, I don't see any logs at all.

          [root@XenServer ~]# journalctl -u xo-server -f -n 50
No journal files were found.

          If I open developer tools in chrome, it at least gives me more of an error message.

            @fuznutz04 You must have built the VM using an alternate method than most of us here. Otherwise, that command would show the output from xo-server.

            How do you start xo-server?

              @Danp I used a guide on here. I'll find it and review how I did it. I installed Ubuntu and then installed XO on it. I need to step out for a bit. I'll get details when I return. Thanks!

                So I followed this guide, but it was a couple weeks ago. I don't remember deviating from the guide though.

                  @fuznutz04 To clarify, I followed the original post, which used Scott's script, not the manual instructions further down in the post.

                      @Danp said in Xen Orchestra SMB Remote problem:

                        @fuznutz04 so your XO installation is running, and there aren't any apparent issues being reported.

                        You said you were manually able to connect to the SMB share using the XO cli, if you try to connect to the SMB in the web interface what happens?

                        Is this share hosted on a domain?

                          From the CLI of XO put in

                          watch sudo systemctl status xo-server.service

                          and then try to connect to the SMB share from the web interface.

                          Using Putty is highly recommended

                            No, this is a single server, in a lab, in a workgroup. Connecting from the XO Web interface does nothing at all. No error message on the screen. If I open developer tools in Chrome, it shows me a little more about what's happening. see below.

                            ebSocket connection to 'ws://192.168.1.246/api/' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

                            So every time I click the connect button in the web UI of XO, it seems to restart XO server. Then the only other message that I see that gives me a clue is : xo:api (unknown user) | session.signIn(...) [3ms] ==> object. Full output below.

                              Without providing the password; what do you have in your SMB connection setting?

                              You were able to connect to the SMB share from the XO console right?

                                In the CLI of the VM where XO is installed:

                                smbclient //192.168.1.200/xsbackups -U xenbackups

                                Then of course I'm prompted for the password and it connect immediately.

                                  @fuznutz04 I assume you meant to use \

                                  It's odd that this works from the CLI but not the web interface.

                                  In the address field which is proceeded by \\ and then <address\share>* are you typing in the double \\ or just putting in "192.168.1.200\xsbackups"?

                                    Or are you putting in just the ip address of the server, and in the following field putting in the folder?

                                      It will only allow you to put in the correct format of IP\Share. So in this example, i only put in 192.168.1.200\xsbackups. xsbackups is the name of the SMB share.

                                      I keep looking at this connection refused error. It makes me think it is something specifically with the web interface, or that the API is not working properly.

                                        It might be a bug that needs to go up to @olivier to take a look at.

                                            mrfusion is the name of my desktop where the share is located. I also tried putting in the workgroup name in that field instead of the PC name.
