How do you try to migrate? Is the VM offline?

Ivan

@olivierlambert yes. VM is offline.

olivierlambert

Can you try to boot it, and then migrate?

Or just boot it once, then shutdown, then migrate?

tried both options, result is the same(

Hmm that's weird

Can you check detailed logs on the source host?

So I took some time to read the error in details.

It's a problem/bug in your current XenServer 7.2.

Indeed, in 7.2, they locked Xen Storage Motion feature as a paid feature. So you can't migrate a VMs with its storage to another SR/pool, unless you pay for it. The message is pretty clear:

Raised Server_error(LICENCE_RESTRICTION, [ Storage_motion ])

There's is multiple workarounds, but as you can see, it's a very dick move from someone at Citrix who decided that

@olivierlambert
thank you for your help. Upgrade from 7.6 to 8.2(is it safely?) help to take off this containts.

You can indeed upgrade your host "locally" from XS to XCP-ng. Just read carefully our official doc on this

okay. we'll read that carefully and try to do at the not critical servers. but before start of upgrading procedure we'd like to make sure that migration between xcp-ng(8.2) server is working.
I've tried to migrate VM(from xcp-ng 8.2 to 8.2) and caught another error:

Errors in CAPS means an error from the host.

Check host logs, also check dynamic min memory == dynamic max
