Seems I can no longer enter in the user area... support ended sad
I also tried with the --check=full option and that gives the same problem, so perhaps the file is corrupt.

Thanks for your quick reply!

[root@olympus:~] ls -la /vmfs/volumes/0c6d4303-b890de35/xsi_repos/2021_DC/data/0/8/4/1/a/0841a2831ad01edb010183ea62baee3cb5ba3c76

It's on an NFS share, I tried copying the file on the ESX server to another location and that worked.
I checked if I could generate a hash from it on ESX, and that worked also, so I think the file should be allright.

I will try 1.6.0.0 now.

The VM has one 20G and another 600GB disk, at first I though it had something to do with that but it seems it crashes on the 20G disk.

This is the log:

Didn't know about debug-print & strace. Nice!
I checked 0841a2831ad01edb010183ea62baee3cb5ba3c76 and it's there.

Thanks!

Hello,


Without providing all the necessary logs, I'm testing some restores but there are two specific servers that have the same error when I try to restore them, we backup about 50 servers daily and only 2 generate an error when restoring:

[root@olympus:/vmfs/volumes/0c6d4303-b890de35/xsibackup_1.4.3.17_olympus] ./xsibackup \

Nothing in the logs.

The backup command used is:

xsibackup --backup "VMs(vlpr-mongodb01.prd.saas.dpp.company.network)" \
/vmfs/volumes/nfs_typhon_xsi_olympus/xsi_repos/2022_DC \
--block-size=10M \
--verbosity=5 \
--use-smtp=1 \
--compression=true \
--config-backup \
--subject='Olympus Backup vlpr-mongodb01.prd.saas.dpp.company.network' \
--mail-to=icc@company.com

This backup command is the same for the other 48 servers that do restore successfully.
None of the backup emails contain any error.

When running with the --check option against the 2 servers that fail to restore xsibackup does not return any error at all, it checks all the files and reports 100% OK.
Servers are pretty big in size, could that be the issue at play?


Thanks for any insight.

#5 Re: General matters » Error code 1547 at file common.c, line 1547 | Error description: could » 2022-01-09 15:27:23

I tested some more, changed the NFS volume from async to sync but it still threw the error.
I also tried using a non-NFS repository, actually a local SSD vmfs volume. Same behaviour, first run is without error, second run it threw the error.
It looks like indeed some timing issue where the code is too fast. It does not interfere with the actual backup so it's ok.

I can reproduce the error this like this (found while testing CBT stuff):

1) remove tmp/* and /tmp/xsi/* folders
2) take backup to a new xsi repository, no tmp error, exitcode 0
3) clear out .xsi files from VM folder (probably not necessary for this test but necessary while I'm testing the CBT stuff)
4) remove tmp/* and /tmp/xsi/* folders
5) take backup to the same xsi repository, tmp error pops up, exitcode 1
6) delete repository
7) start back at 1

So it never seems happens with a new, empty repository.

Seems the website redesign upsets the standard email template but I'm not sure since when, just noticed it now.
Images such as "https://33hops.com/images/logo1.gif" are no longer found.

Is it sufficient to remove the .xsi folders inside a VM directory to have xsibackup take a full backup to a new repository again?
Reason is we don't prune xsibackup repositories but use new empty ones and back up the old repositories to tape and delete them after a month from disk. If we have to execute --reset-cbt each time we cycle a repository this means the server will have downtime and that  could be problematic for some servers.

Thanks

Before running xsibackup I remove anything from the tmp/* folder and check there's no xsibackup running anymore.
In this log you can see no xsibackup running, tmp/ contains 2 folders from the last run where it failed to remove tmp dirs, I remove the tmp/* contents and execute a new run that start with pid 4714664 but and the end it fails to remove that pid directory probably because at that point the file ".vnfs-f0002842e-.blocklog" still seems to exist but when the job is finished, the directory is empty as seen in the ls -al tmp/4714664/ command at the end.

There's still the issue when xsibackup removes the tmp directory.
Strange thing that it did not throw an error on the first run, but it threw the error only on the 2nd and following runs.
The first run had an exit code of 0 while the 2nd and following runs returned the error & exitcode 1.
I tried another VM that was never backed up, but it returned the same error, so it seems only the first run of xsibackup executed with exitcode 0, next runs always return the tmp error & exitcode 1.

Yup, that was the issue. I'm trying to figure out install script to see why it happened, but running it did remove the error.
Thanks.

Hi,

I'm upgrading from 1.4.3.17 to 1.5.1.6.
1.4.3.17 has been running since 04/2021 pretty flawless but I'm looking into the CBT functionality as some +2TB servers take a while to back up, CBT might speed that up.

I'm first trying to upgrade to 1.5.1.6 as is, without using CBT and get these errors:

[root@olympus:/vmfs/volumes/0c6d4303-b890de35/xsibackup_1.5.1.6_olympus] ./xsibackup \

The backup succeeded but it throws an error from what I understand to be:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which is strange, as the NFS mounted volume is also used by 1.4.3.17 (which doesn't throw the error) as:

/vmfs/volumes/nfs_typhon_xsi_olympus/xsi_repos/2021_DC/

I read in another post about permissions, in this case the FS permissions are all 755.
The NFS volume is exported with:

rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check

Any idea what could be the cause?

That indicates that some of your VMs reside in an NFS host or that the metadata for that VM is corrupt, as it could not be retrieved.

If you have mixed datastore types VMFS & NFS, try to group VMs by datastore type into two different jobs. We will check that posibility in search of an eventual bug.

If you don't have NFS datastores, then clone that VM with vmkfstools to regenerate the associated metadata.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, it's mixed VMFS/NFS.
For now I'm just running xsibackup for each individual VM but that also fails after a few days with segmentation faults.
The only way to fix it is to give it an empty repository directory, it continues without segmentation faults.
Never had this problem in 1.4.0.0, is there a way to download 1.4.0.0 again?

#14 Re: General matters » VMWare ESXi: hardware Segmentation fault » 2020-12-16 23:58:44

Splitting did not really work for some reason, perhaps it has to do with the VM name characters. I'm looping over the list so there is just a single xsibackup invocation each time as opposed to providing a long list of VM's.
I noticed in /scratch/downloads/ the exported configs .tgz files accumulate, maybe also a candidate for cleaning after a backup run.

#15 Re: General matters » VMWare ESXi: hardware Segmentation fault » 2020-12-16 16:01:27

Yes, I read somewhere here about a bug in the 1.4.0.0 and an upgrade was probably best, hence why I upgraded. 1.4.0.0 was pretty rock solid indeed. I should have have stayed at 1.4.0.0 wink

It seems the problem is in some way triggered when providing multiple VM's, it never happens when just backing up a single VM.
I'll probably end up looping over the VM's I want backed-up and starting xsibackup with a single VM.

In another run I now got:

2020-12-16T14:12:32 | Error code 131 at file signal.c, line 131 | Error description: some error was trapped SIGTERM (11) (11) while executing the job, error: No space left on device

Which is probably /tmp filling up, but XSIBackup-DC is the only folder with data in /tmp. I have now symlinked /tmp/xsi to another location, perhaps I can get a full set of backups this way.
Maybe I'll have to symlink /scratch/xsibackup/tmp also to another location.

Always happens at the exact same VM, number #5.
Backing the VM's individually does not generate the error.

#17 Re: General matters » Error code 665 » 2020-12-13 15:33:39

Just saw this in the ESX log:

The ramdisk 'tmp' is full. As a result, the file /tmp/xsi/2742247/ansible01.infra.dileoz.network-5b835202.hlog.map could not be written.

There were several 70M directories in /tmp/xsi/.
Removing those fixed this issue.

Do we have to clean out specific folders after an XSI run?

Hi,

I'm getting Error code 665. What could be the cause?

#19 Re: General matters » Different Versions » 2020-10-08 14:42:04

Ok, thanks for your reply.
To be sure, so there is no problem using 1.1.0.4 and 1.4.1.1 together on the same repo?

Hi,

I'm using XSIBackup-DC over 2 different ESXi hosts using the same DC repository, XSIBackup-DC 1.1.0.4
I am now adding a 3d ESXi host and would like to re-use the same DC repository, but with version XSIBackup-DC 1.4.0.0 that I now registered.

Is the version difference a problem for the same repository?

Thanks.

XSIBackup used to take a comma separated list of emails, but this doesn't seem to work with XSIBackup DC.

Error description: the --mail-to value can't be evaluated as an e-mail address: mail1@domain.com,mail2@domain.com

Used cmdline:

--mail-to=mail1@domain.com,mail2@domain.com

Is there a way to send the report to multiple email addresses with DC?

Thx!

#22 Re: General matters » xsibackup DC exit code » 2020-01-21 21:55:40

Thanks for your reply,

The error itself I copied has something to do with a VM that has been renamed through vCenter, I'm still planning to analyse it a bit deeper but I guess I can fix it by using vmware-convertor on the renamed VM so all notions of the previous name are gone. I don't think it's a problem with XSIBackup.
Reason for renaming was that the VM name itself contained () braces after joining other ESX hosts into vCenter and it detected VM's with the same (Windows-Test-Machine) name and appended (1) (2) ... after each VM, so I renamed them because I figured VM's with () braces in the name could upset the XSIBackup cmdline.

But the question was indeed for the exit-codes wink , I'm using XSIBackup in a remote ssh execution inside a Jenkins job and now work around it by first deleting var/log/error.log file before starting XSIBackup and when the backup is finished I count the lines in var/log/error.log and use that as an exit code for the Jenkins job so when it's != 0 the Jenkins job throws an error so we know the backup or the repo-check had an issue.


Thx!

Using NFS sync fixed my previous problem but now I'm running into this:

XSIBackup DC exit code is zero but it did encounter an error.
Is it possible to throw exit code <> 0 if it encountered an error?

Thx

#24 Re: General matters » Error when running backup » 2019-10-18 13:11:30

Thanks for your reply but I don't see how you consider the SSH session to expire when VM_SERVER_LIST contains multiple servers and it errors on each of the servers after a while but continues with the next server when encountered an error, DC continues to log output, it does not stop.

Consider this command, it's just a standard remote SSH command execution and nothing complex, this is how we execute XSIBackup Pro for the last >year also:

$ssh root@$ESX_SERVER '/scratch/xsi/xsibackup --backup "VMs(Oracle-1)" /vmfs/volumes/XSI_BACKUP/POLLUX-xsitools/2019_DC/ --verbosity=5 --use-smtp=1 --subject="Pollux Backup"'

XSIBackup DC generates this as output:

If the SSH session would expire or time out at the moment the error is thrown everything would pretty much stop and the connection would be closed with an error state, it would not continue. But the SSH session does not stop or expires as you can see because DC continues.

XSIBackup Pro runs every weekend long-running jobs on a big list of huge VM's and runs for >12h without interruption and executed in the exact same remote SSH executed way, never had an issue but I cannot say the same for DC, I cannot execute it remotely.

#25 Re: General matters » Error when running backup » 2019-10-16 20:51:10

It happens for every backup run. Basically the XSI invocation is a Jenkins job that does a remote SSH's to the ESX server as a user with admin rights and executes XSIBackup cmdline with a list of VM's. The repo is a NFS mounted synology 6TB disk. It holds a 4TB XSIBackup-Pro repository and 2TB of free disk space. It throws the error and moves on to the next VM in the backup list, processes it for a while (actual blocks are added to the data folder) and throws the same error, it does that for every VM in the backup list. I've checked the Synology to see if the disks are failing/going to fail (SMAT) but it all looks good. I've switched back to XSIBackup Pro and initialised a new repository (renamed the old 4TB etc) and it runs without a problem so I'm not sure if it's infrastructure related at this point but then again, they're two different products.

What does the rename temp block actually do?
I tested it with a 4GB VM and didn't have this problem, I'll try to manually do one of the big VM's to see if it's occurring also.
