VM Copy using XenCenter - does it continue without connection?


Question

Posted

I am copying a VM to a new Pool.

I started copying and the notifications showed the progress; however, I was disconnected from the network.

On reconnecting, the notification shows an error, but the VM still has a symbol with two small red arrows pointing left and right.

Does this mean that it is still copying? VM Copy is now greyed out, so I can't start again. Should I leave it? Restart the toolstack? 

I am running XenCenter remotely. If it is copying to my local PC then back to the new Pool, then that would be rather inefficient...

 

Cheers.

Checked again and it seems to have become confused. Event notifications said it had completed copying or migrating the VM from Source Pool to Source Pool. Huh?

Closed and re-opened XenCenter and that event no longer shows.

The icon on the VM has reverted to the symbol for Halted. But there is no new VM in the Destination pool.

How can I tell if it's still processing? Expected to show up eventually?

Can you run

 xe task-list 

on the pool master  and see if it shows a Copy operation ?

What version of XenServer and update level is this ?
