BRRABill's Field Report With XenServer

Try moving your vdi while vm is running, to another SR, very exciting as you dont know if you will get the dreaded, 'The VDI mirroring cannot be performed" and your vdi just disappears. Luckily it is just detached and back in its original SR. Seems to only happen with windows vms for me

Ouch. Tools installed I suppose. This error mean tapdisk failed to write new blocks to the destination (XenServer issue)

@Danp Thanks. If you have any log, feel free to share

Just sent it to your support email address.

olivier

Thanks. But without the debug option, I'm afraid we won't spot anything.

Danp

@olivier Which debug option? I I already have "verboseApiLogsOnErrors": true in the config.json file.

olivier

@Danp Well, so we don't have enough to draw any conclusion

Danp

@olivier Ok... I'm sure there will be more patches soon to test again.

I used XO tonight to reboot a XS and it got stuck in maintenance mode.

Think that was something strange on my end?

(I ended up using XC to reboot it afterwards.)

Danp

@BRRABill It's a bug. Here's the GH Issue.

BRRABill

Stupid GitHub.

Just. Don't. Get. It.

So what causes that bug?

I was just trying to reboot after a patch update.

Danp

@BRRABill My take is that there are multiple issues at work here --

Coding error (host.enabled vs host.enable). This is fixed in xo-server next-release branch.
XO's implementation of host reboot is very different from that found in XC

Yeah I went to the server room and was surprised the XS was just sitting there. Then XC said it was i maintenance mode. I right clicked in XC and rebooted again, and it went to maintenance mode for a second and rebooted.

Very strange.

BRRABill

Anyone using XO...

When you run an update, do you have to reboot to get the next version to show up?

Or is there a service to restart?

xo-web always updates to the right version in the GUI. xo-server never does until I reboot.

olivier

No need to reboot, you are not on Windows xo-server runs in memory, so to get last version, you need to restart the process. That's all.

Thanks @olivier

I try not to ping you on these. You have better stuff to do than to educate me, which you always do a great job of anyway!

Danp

@BRRABill Are you updating manually or with the script? The script will stop and restart the service for you.

Manually.

THOUGH ... I did just take a stab at writing my own script!

THOUGH THOUGH ... why not just use one already made.

BRRABill

So, went to log into XO today, it's not accessible. I reboot the server, still not.

I figure, eh, I'll update the version.

xoserver updates fine, but xo-web fails with the below messages...

This is on Ubuntu 16.04

Is it possible some OS update broke something in my system?

Has your node version changed?
