@Dashrender what steps did you go through to restore, can you send me what you had to follow directly?
Honestly I don't have a list - I was kinda like you are now - frantically looking around for solutions.
-
I didn't have any uuid info when my failed.
What I did have was just a list of the VMs and the sizes of the disks associated with each.
After I reattached the SR to the new install of XS, I built the VMs and picked the VDIs inside XC.
-
In XC, click on the VDI (VHD) and then choose STORAGE from the menu and COPY UUID TO CLIPBOARD.

There is no uuid listed at this level

Even under properties in XC it's not there.

In XC, on the MENU BAR, click storage.

Using commands like this will help a lot more.
xe vdi-list sr-uuid=<SR UUID> params=all -

xe vdi-list sr-uuid=<SR UUID> params=allI don't think any commands are running on his host. It's basically dead in the water.

what's highlighted when you do that? the VM or the VM host?
-
The VDI (VHD) you want to get the UUID of.

not working for me.

If I go to the SR pool itself on the left

@DustinB3403 Is it only read-only on the USB where XenServer is installed on? Maybe you can backup metadata to your EXT SR where your VMs are at.
The meta data doesn't exist on the SR unless you previously backed it up.
FFS. He was telling Dustin to create a new copy on the stories repository

I'm what? Even if you meant storage repository - I wasn't telling him to make a whole new SR copy.

Fuck man read. You quoted somebody that was telling Dustin to make a copy on the storage repository. But you're saying there's nothing on the repository, no shit that's not what that guy was telling him.

@BBRABill
I've got the SR uuid for the host. This isn't the issue. Commands are working, just not all of them, so its very much dead (as far as I'm concerned).
I'm restoring my most current backup to my secondary host and will go from there.
I can't risk this host going tits up with live data on it. Fortunately I have layered backups. Host level and then inside of each of the VM's. The file level backups are operational, its the block level that isn't.
The biggest pain will be the data server (which is freaking huge) and then our DC.

Slow your roll man - OK fine you are right - I misread what was written. that was also like 30 posts ago - bringing it up not doesn't help anyone.

Yeah! Where's that guy who always swears and tells people they are clogging up the thread and not helping the OP? We need him to step in here.

Are you on XC7?
