XCP-NG Upgrade to 8.0 issues

Zoey_yea_boom · August 3, 2019, 6:02am

So i just upgrade to XCP-NG 8.0 from 7.5, and i having this issues where 1/2 of my VMs seem to have lost there Hardisk mappings.

Im just using local storage for the VMs then pass NFS shares to the VMs for additional storage as required.

I’m not that well versed with the XCP-NG and the way it presents the storage, i have used Vmware most of my working life i i know how to fix this in Vmware.

So if anyone can help me with some commands to find an reattched the disk would be nice, Linux isn’t i’m not as stong in as i used to be either.

So these are VMs ( 4 in total)

Storage they live on

Is that storage device showing under “Storages”?

Zoey_yea_boom · August 3, 2019, 9:57pm

Yes
So this is the full output shown in Xen Orchestra

If i lis the Disks by ID this is the output

I’m guessing /dm-2 to /dm-6 related to the the VMs that are already running?

LTS_Tom · August 4, 2019, 11:33am

If the storage that contains the VM is up and running, then I am not sure what is wrong. Might want to try their forums.

Zoey_yea_boom · August 5, 2019, 4:20am

Yea, i thought it was aswell.
Least i have back ups of the VMs i care about.

Zoey_yea_boom · August 5, 2019, 4:51am

this is Strange I can export the VHD

Zoey_yea_boom · August 5, 2019, 5:17am

Update.
You have to Recreate the VM and them import the VDI content.
you can’t just recreate the Disk and import the VDI content.

xmemex · August 6, 2019, 1:03pm

Thanks for providing the resolution.

Zoey_yea_boom · August 6, 2019, 8:07pm

No Problem, Just in case someone else has a similar issue it might help them.

Yea there wasn’t a lot of information on XCP-NG forms about this one.

There was on from 7.4 - 7.5 where they were able to boot the machine in via recovery create a snapshot then remove it and that fixed it for them.

But while waiting from my account to be approved i decide to try and export the VDI and see if that could work.

So the issue doesn’t seam to be related to the storage pools, as i found out one of the VMs was on one the NFS pools. It Seems related to the VM metadata.
