Is Terminated a good thing in this case?
If it's red, no.
Green yes.
Ah, that is a bit confusing (I understand the lights.) I saw that when I did my first backup and assumed terminated means something failed.
-
We'll have to bug @oliver if it doesn't change after they get the new UI in place, lol.
-
@olivier -- the xo-server-logs and xo-server are only outputting generic information and don't display anything useful for me to debug this on the screen. Is this written to a file anywhere?
-
You should see something in the
xo-serveroutput right when you trigger the backup job.I'm removing the word "Terminated" by "Finished" ASAP.

Perfect thank you. I don't know why when I see terminated I think "this is bad"... especially when it basically means finished.
-
Yea, terminated has a bad connotation to it... i know i immediately equate it to "fired"
-
There is maybe a notion of "unexpected finish" for "terminated" word. In French, "Terminé" means "finished". That explains why one of the dev use this word

Re job 9: Personally, I would not say finished here. Simply state error or Failure or something.
I know it IS finished. but say you eventually setup an email on job status. how will I route it with rules if both success and failure say finished?
This is how I handle my veeam backup stuff now.
So, all my notices are filtered away unless it has some other status.
Well except this warning. These are success too. The damned HP recovery partition always fires a warning on space.

I'll need to hire 50 lads to release all those ideas/features

I'm having a similar issue, but different, lol. I am unable to backup any of my XenServer VMs. I am using an XO Machine built with @DustinB3403 's instructions. I am connecting to my XenServer using it's inside IP address (192.168.15.1/24) from my XO Server (192.168.15.2/24).
When the backup jobs try to run, my XO Server tires to connect to the PUBLIC IP address of my XenServer.
This poses a problem this is a hosted XenServer instance with a single public IP address... I am using ports 80 and 443 to run an Nginx proxy as a VM.
Is this a bug in XO, by any chance? @olivier ?
If the answer to that question is "NO", then what can I do to fix XenServer so that it only listens on my inside IP addresses?
-
@dafyre How does it even know what the public IP is?

You're running XO in a vm on the XenServer?

Yes.
That is normal.

I just wanted to make sure I understood how he set it up.

Now it wouldn't hurt to have a separate host, but on the primary host is also normal.

Another question, is this a bridge for an internal network? Or did they give you a local network for your server?

This is what I'd like to know, lol. I am expecting it is something in the XAPI or something with XenServer configs somewhere... It should be noted that this is a Dedicated machine rented from KimSufi in France. I have exactly 1 public IP that I can use for this server.
-
I was wondering if the XO VM has external DNS servers instead of internal ones. Or maybe both, and it's failed over to the external one.
I've found that I can never have internal and external DNS servers if I have a split-brain/split-horizon DNS situation. I can only use internal DNS or I WILL end up with problems.

The public interface is bridged to my internal VM network... ie:
XenBr1 = MyPublicIP
xapi1 = 192.168.15.1/24 (on the physical XenServer host).XO = 192.168.15.2 / 24 (VM)
IIS Server = 192.168.15.3/24 (VM)
Nginx = 192.168.15.4/24 (VM)I can surf the web just fine from all of the VMs (Ubutnu 15 server using Lynx, or Windows 2012 R2 using IE).
When I have my IIS server turned on, my NGINX Proxy does its job and serves up the pages.
And I now have iptables & NGinx working nicely together with XenServer and I can run XenCenter and communicate with the XenServer over HTTPS through the Nginx proxy (Yes, I realize this is convoluted, lol).
The problem that I am now having is that XO is trying to communicate with the XenServer via public IP instead of the private IP. I could fix it by setting iptables up for hairpin NAT, but I want to avoid this.
