How do I get the disk UUIDs for the Vm's?

Seems like anything the host has to do fails...
-
If those wont work in cli, you still can use XC to get this info. Or XO i imagine has this info listed on its web interface.
-
we're probably going to migrate everything over (but guess when.... next flipping weekend...)
-
Is there a way to use xe vdi-list against specific VM's so I can see it all?
-
@DustinB3403 WTF... that makes mo sense. Why wait?!

In XC, click the VDI, and then STORAGE (on the menu) and COPY UUID TO CLIPBOARD.

Gives a list of all SRs and their contained VDIs.

im just not seeing it
-
Does it work from XC? If not, I don't think you are going to be able to get it.
-
from within XC I'm not seeing UUID's on the drives them selves.
-
is this the kind of thing I'm looking for?

Chances are it won't live that long if you're having these issues already.
-
@Dashrender That's what I was thinking as well.

These links should help you with backing up metadata and restoring.

@black3dynamite Thank you.
The second link I've tried to follow through the steps and because the system is stuck in a read-only state (yet the vm's are operational) I need to manually export the metadata.
@Dashrender does this look correct?
-
@DustinB3403 Is it only read-only on the USB where XenServer is installed on? Maybe you can backup metadata to your EXT SR where your VMs are at.

This is actually not required - if the disks very in size enough between the VMs, just grab the disk sizes and keep that information (that's all I had when I did it)
