@julienXOvates said:
so you're actually trying to import those QCOW2 VDIs, not creating them, right ?
Yes...
@julienXOvates said:
You'll have to wait for the import feature for QCOW2 which is coming soon.
You should be able to create a brand new SR with QCOW2, but be aware of the known issue on ZFS with large VDIs
Okay...
@julienXOvates said:
Did you install ZFS on your host ?
I installed XCP-ng using the defaults and recommended settings, I do not remember if ZFS was a default:

but you can see sd(a,d,c) are from the 3 HDs I did not include in the install are ZFS, I attached them as SRs so I can move the data later to a Storage Device using this method:

and both systems (well be converting the other one later) are Redhat 10s formatted with ZFS, and was importing from the other Redhat. Well this be a and/or the reason for the import failure?
