The Management Interface shows blank in the Nteworking tab on XenCenter and the pool Management Network bond shows as "unknown" after adding a host to the pool.įind and forget all NICs that are disconnected on both the master host and the host you just added. Set a default SR for the pool in XenServer and then reinstall the Transfer VM using the steps provided in CTX article. When importing a VHD into XenCenter you receive error "No local storage and no default storage: cannot import Transfer VM" on the XenServer console. You see error "Kernel panic" on the XenServer console.īefore upgrading the HPSA driver, add options "hpsa hpsa_allow_any=1" to "/etc/nf".

Right-click on an SR and set it as default.Īfter upgrading an HPSA driver XenServer can no longer boot. This is caused by no SR being elected as the default SR.

Reconnect XenCenter with the IP address of the pool master and then try again.Īpplying a patch through XenCenter results in error "invalid_file". You receive error "Internal error: Connection failed: no host resolved" when adding a new server to the pool. Use an alternative monitor or connect remotely via SSH for example and edit the grub config file to edit the VGA section, as outlined in the CTX article. On some high resolution monitors, the XenServer console does not display. Look for instances where the VBD is attached to other VMs as described in the CTX article. Virtual Machine cannot start with error "VDI is being used by another operation".

You may have to manually restart the "ntpd" service and then run a manual sync as explained in the CTX article. Make sure all XenServer hosts in the pool have identical NTP servrs specified. XenServer time is incorrect after changing the BIOS time. If there are multiple entries, find each one with state "currently-attached (RO): false" and forget them. Search for stale/duplicate XenServer Tools Storage Repository by running command "xe sr-list name-label="XenServer Tools". Within "xensource.log" is error "Storage_interface.Sr_not_attached".

When attempting to install XenTools you receive error "Your Tools ISO is on a broken SR, XenServer will attempt to fix it before proceeding. temporary files, and then delete the files from each folder.

I did find the UUIDs of the VDIs from an earlier restart in the logs and those VDIs are not to be found anywhere.Applicable Product Versions Affected (if known)Ī XenServer 6.2 to 7.1 upgrade fails with " No space left on device:'/tmp/backup-rORnXu/.xen-backup-partition'".įind the folders with high inode usage, check which folders have a high number of files e.g.
I don't have much experience digging this deep into XenServer. Investigation: Looking in various logs (daemon.log, xensource.log, SMlog) I'm unable to find anything obvious other than the VM stopping and starting around 2:39PM and not seeing mention of xvdb or xvdc or their UUIDsĪny hints as to what to look for in the logs would be helpful. The last mail received from the email server was at 2:51PM. Around 3PM I checked the task progress and it was no longer showing anything. After a few hours it was down to 9 hours remaining. This started out with a 2 day estimate from XenOrchestra. I started migrating xvda to the local storage for the same host. Agree to clear data so that installation of XCP-ng Virtualization server can begin. Select keyboard keymap you’re using in this installation. Boot off created medium USB or attached ISO to begin installation of XCP-ng 8.2 Virtualization Platform on your physical box. What happened: These following changes made using XenOrchestra around 10:30AM I set the home server for the VM to the host it was currently running on. Step 3: Install XCP-ng 8.2 Virtualization Platform. xvda is mounted at / (all mail configs) xvdb, xvdc is mounted at /var and /home (all mail messages) The mail VM has 3 VDIs: xvda - 160GB, xvdb - 200GB, xvdc - 200GB.
We decide to move the VDIs for the mail server to local storage so it was the only VM using IO on the physical disks.
The mail server was getting behind delivering mail, partially due to a developer's script that had queued up nearly 30k messages over the weekend. It's a small office and we're all remote so there's only 5-10 people accessing the mail server when this happens. We've been getting degraded performance from the MD1200 resulting in high iowait (25-40%) on our internal mail server, as well as other VMs, in the mornings when everyone's pulling down mail. They are using shared storage via iSCSI to a Dell MD1200.
