    In case anyone wonders how this played out. At the end of the day, I shutdown the host with the running workloads on it, kept it at BIOS boot so the 8.3 installer would upgrade it cleanly, and then booted it back up. For reasons related to my particular setup, the down time was more than 60 minutes. But that's not related to XCP-ng. The XCP-ng installer was maybe 10 of that. 20 of that was 3 reboots on a server that takes ages to boot. One thing that is a bit difficult is that the 8.3 installer doesn't notice ZFS volumes or help with ZFS. So after the upgrade, I have to follow a modified set of these instructions (modified because the package names have changed over time) to install ZFS and its components into the system. So the sequence is: Shutdown Install via ISO Reboot to single user mode Run yum update to pull in all the updates Run the ZFS commands to install ZFS on the host Reboot again Run normally Of course, I ended up rebooting more than just those 2 times, because I forgot that I would need to install ZFS (even though I did it on 2 different hosts already ) So now the pool is fully upgraded, everybody is happy. I'm now working on creating shared storage across the nodes. It's amateur hour over here. I appreciate all the help.

    @Pilow I will take a look in deep later, but the key/delta and disk usage is set during backup, even if they are merged during LTR retention

    @stormi Thanks for your answer. I'll give a try later, bypassing the PFBlocker module of the router. Github is not currently on any blacklist, but I block Digital Ocean and some others who host many attackers.

    Problem importing ANY ESXi VMDK into Xen Orchestra CE

    @Mathieu said in Problem importing ANY ESXi VMDK into Xen Orchestra CE: Just experienced the same issue with a few VMs I imported from VMware. I think it's a Windows issue, from what I can tell. The network adapter type changes after the import in xcp-ng (from VMXNet to XenServer PV), that's normal. Windows do not allow the same IP address to be used automatically for a different type of network adapter, so that's why it reverts to DHCP with the new adapter. You can see that by setting the previous static IP address in the new adapter, it will warn you that the address was used with a previous adapter and asks for confirmation. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/networking/error-message-when-you-set-ip-address No idea if there's a way to avoid that. Yeah same, we're also using VMXNET. When trying to do this manually there's a popup which you have to accept to "force" having the same IP on multiple interfaces. Im sure the IP's are save in registry so deleting the post as part of the process would probably resolve it.

    @julien-f Agreed... I will add (just for future reference) that I did confirm that I was on the very latest versions of xo-server at the time... in fact, I made sure to apply all updates and reboot the Xen server before submitting the ticket. Nothing seemed to work... even multiple reboots, etc. Once @Danp made mention of the Nodejs version and I updated from v18.18.2 to v18.19.1 everything immediately started working. I made no other changes after applying the Nodejs update. So while that may not have been the cause, it somehow fixed whatever was ailing me. I have no explanation either, other than the fact that making that change is what took me from the feature not working to the feature working.

    @jedimarcus yarn dev start only the watcher(s) you can start the server by using cd packages/xo-server and then yarn start you can use nodemon instead of node if you want autoreload

    @Danp Yes. I have 3 VMs on this host plus the XOA. All using the same eth1. I'm able to reach https://xen-orchestra.com/ from the network and other VMs. Although in the Internet connectivity: Error: above it is being directed to non SSL connection. Could it be that the registration cannot handle redirects? JB

    Even with a sfc and cleanup, manually reinstalling the package caused the same behavior. I've got backups of this system and will build a template from the working backup for if it goes sideways. I've got other stuff to handle.

    Well, that worked and the VM booted.... Windows joins domain, and.... /something went wrong, redeployment required/. No desktop, no apparent way to check for errors. We're beyond the scope of this thread. Thank you! Serendipitously, someone from Netwrix called me soon after that. I told him I know the big two commercial virtualization names are supported, but all this /can/ be imported here... I also gave him a quick elevator pitch on XCP-ng, for as much good as that might do with a kinda new sales guy. From here on out, if their engineers can't help, I'm off to find something else.

    @florent said in Import from VMware: @Olest that's a nice catch, every day I discover new limits of the vmware licensing . At least we could catch the error and show something useful to the user Just wait, everything free from VMWare is going away, so it'll just be the assumption that if you should be able to do it, you won't be able to.
