      Evening, my setting to create a SR for importing my .qcow2 is:

      but when I try to create the SR I get this:

      I hover over the (i) for the information for the preferred type:

      I've read this QCOW2 FAQ, so my question is, if I have to install this on the host, where is the instruction or the plug-in for this feature?

      I attempted to import my .qcow2 in the Default SR:

      For a moment is appears to be importing:

      Then I get this error message:

      I try to import it again and I get his error message:

      After this is when I attempted to create the qcow2 SR. My XOA is located on my Redhat 10 Server/Workstation as a VM.

      Thanks!...

          Hi @nasheayahu,

          1/ are you running the latest XO from source ?
          2/ did you follow this to create the ZFS volume => https://docs.xcp-ng.org/storage/#zfs ?
          3/ did you try with "ext" type instead ? or your requirement is QCOW2 with ZFS ?

          The "import QCOW2" is currently not yet implemented, hence the API error (it should have been not permitted actually); it should be merged in the next XO release.
