EranA — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:57:08 GMT

1. why the stderr log file hasn't been create under log dir ,even though the path appers at the ini file ?

2. how can i delete id of a copy , i want to use the name of the volume as id so i ran xcp copy -newid vol1 /source /dest

and i want to delete the id and use it again for another path.

Thanks

Hi,

under you catalog folder (catalog/indexes) you can just rename/remove the folder and this will allow you to start the copy with the same ID.

so as an example if your failed ID is called copy-1 you will see something like this

# cp/catalog/indexes# ls -ltr total 184 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 10 08:30 copy-1 # xcp/catalog/indexes#

if you remove `copy-1` folder then you will be fine.
