Wnen I hit backup in xsconsole it gives me an option of where to store it.
Do you have a local usb or something attached?
-
I do get a prompt of where to backup too, but local storage is the only option.

No. In fact my only option is my SR location.
Probably since the USB is having issues, maybe you can't back up the metadata?

Oh yeah, me too. I just renamed mine. Duh. (Duh on me.)

I dont even think I can migrate the VM's off.

Probably not if the boot device isn't writable.

Hrm, maybe try remounting root? I think this should do it:
mount -o remount,rw / -

mount -o remount,rw //devb/sdb1 read-write is write-protected.
So how do I remove that?

If it's write protected to the point that it won't remount in read/write mode (what you have here), it's time to assume the storage is not recoverable.
The good news (if such a thing exists in this situation), is that restoring from XO backups is quite quick. This is what I got to deal with 3 weeks ago. XS Root drive went into a read only state, and was stuck that way even between reboots. Replaced the root drive and imported the XO backups... I used XenCenter to import the XO image itself, and then used XO to import the other backups.

We've got dc's on this host...... which means I have to do a SPX restore (since XO) isn't backing up.

And a f***ing massive file server.

Any chance you previously saved the metadata to your SR?
-
Sorry you are going through this.
Especially on a Friday night.

Im going to start an restore from the 21'st to my second host, which is running fine. And then we'll have to do file level restores from there....
For the DC going to have to bring in our MSP.....
F**** [moderated] XenServer why do you hate me so much.
Why has my original XS host run fine (literally like a f***** [moderated] dream for 2 years) and these two hosts are giving me issues....
what the f**** [moderated]!

I was afraid of this.

I can however restore my backups from 6 days ago to my remote host, and inside of the VM's boot from SPX recovery environment and restore from there.

@DustinB3403 Or a clone / image of the USB?
