@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.

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.

I installed some plugins to give a lot of extra functionality.

The darker side of cat hanging by noose was too brutal....
I'm drinking. If I get told "wait till next week, screw it, I'm waiting till next week"

FFS @BRRABill, you've wasted so much time forgetting that fact!

@Dashrender 30 post to go or not you were giving wrong information and I can only assume because you gave wrong information that Dustin never replied to that post to say that he tried to get his data to another location as that poster recommended. Because if he had tried that and it worked he would have all the information he needed.
Additionally, I left the entire "chain intact on purpose so you would not have to scroll back to understand the context of my reply. You apparently just did not bother to read it.

That's very true - I didn't

How did things work out?
-
@BRRABill Still working to import the biggest of my VM's from backup. then will have to perform a file level restore.
Also "we" officially have to wait till next weekend.... so I'm at a point here where if it goes belly up (moreso) then its on management.

once it does go belly up, or you make it to next weekend, you'll then use your file level restore product (forgot name) to bring the system current as of the last backup?
-
@Dashrender Yes, or have both file servers running and attempt to have xcopy scripts pull the differences over
-
@DustinB3403 Personally I prefer robocopy. Hell of a lot faster, and you can make sure it will copy exactly how you want....
Robocopy <Source> <Destination> /copyall /xo /w:0 /r:0 /log:Logfile.txt
Tail the log file (Wintail is handy for this) as having it log to the console slows down copy's.
