Create a new SR: qcow2 failure

[nasheayahu]

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.

Yes, I used the Xen Orchestra Installer / Updater on a Debian 13.

No, I have 3 extra 2TB HDs I did not include in the install, because I have data on them I want to move to a Storage Device first.

I just tried it, but it requires an another device I don't have available as stated above. The QCOWS are coming from the two Redhat 10 Server/Workstations, 1) I just converted to XCO-ng, 2) the other Redhat will convert soon after solving other setup tasks with the first.
