    @dfrizon In Xen Orchestra it is looking for an OVA and doesn't take an OVF. My process so far was: export template inside VCenter (OVF and Disk image) Convert OVF+Disk to OVA with OVF Tool Import OVA to XO. Switching out step two to an import and export in VirtualBox worked, but obviously not our preferred option.

    @Andrew7 You don't. Pretty sure there is a dialog stating this is not reversable when setting a VM as a template. What I do is have a source vm and then take a snapshot of it while off. Then create a vm off that snap. Can do versioning this way. Boot the new vm (from the snap), install cloudbase, copy over the cloudbase-init.conf over, shutdown, convert to template. I also created my own ISO with the citrix tools, cloudbase installer, and cloudbase config to make it easier. Making the hostname update was probably the first thing that got working. Check my cloud-config at the top. That should work. Just be sure to add those last three lines to the cloudbase config too. And the only file i change is cloudbase-init.conf.

    @Cyrille Thanks! Looking forward to using this, or something like this. It would be awesome if there was a Youtube demo getting started video for yaml or typescript!

    @OhSoNoob said in VHD export and (delta) backup stuck at 99%: uploading de XVA in XO didn't work for some reason, it prompts about prepairing and then just stops. Hmmm.... never encountered that situation.

    Hi! I was able to isolate the issue: It does happen, if NBD is activated on one of the network interfaces! xe network-param-remove param-name=purpose param-key=nbd uuid=xxxxxxxx --> Disabling "useNBD" did not solve the issue. I had to disable the feature in XCP-ng

    @florent Nothing large. Either 10 or 20GB. I'm thinking it's due to the same issue as here.

    So you are using a thick provisioned storage. Any snapshot will create a base copy, but also an active disk (which will be the total size of the disk). You can't cheat on that. Transforming a snapshot into a VM will create a new active drive that will use the total size of the disk.

    @ysageev we're fisrt making the transfer from vmware work through an HTTP link in xo-cli. After this we'll do a UX, allowing a user to migrate from XO , it will probably be a three steps form : connect to an host, choose which VM(s) to migrate , transfer progress Then, depending on the priority , we may make other transport ( for example if you mounted the VMFS datastore in XO, copied files locally or through SSH) By the way, we fixed a timeout bug in xo-server, that was cutting the vmdk/ova import around the 5mn mark, you may retry the old method

    Thanks @lawrencesystems - I've finally got around to watching that video, explains the content well, quite interesting to see that happening in real time when the RAM is being land-grabbed by other VMs when things are getting full based on the different configuration settings.

    Doesn't matter, the VMware script is available in there too. Just switch to the vmware release channel and follow instructions there: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/6714/vmware-migration-tool-we-need-your-feedback/

    See https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2022/11/18/xcp-ng-8-3-alpha/#-vm-snapshot-with-disk-exclusion It's already used/supported by Xen Orchestra. If you want it for production, you'll need to wait for XCP-ng 8.3 to be available
