      Well, I'd love that we could find the culprit 😄

      xe vm-list params=all will give you all the params for all VMs on a given host.

      Then, you should try to compare between 2 hosts and see if there's similar fields that shouldn't be similar (I know, it's vague).

      In the mean time, let me ask around to some XAPI devs.

        @olivierlambert Appreciated. I will go through the fields to see if anything looks odd..

          @olivierlambert Nothing odd that stands out for me when comparing the data.

          Additionally I tried migrating the (most likely) offending vm from the other host and I get the same error.
          Migrated two other (created on xcp-ng) vms but those fail with a VDI_COPY_FAILED but the migration starts properly. Only at the end I get this error.

          vm.migrate
          {
            "vm": "0ab24395-becb-71f4-4f93-066c2d660cff",
            "mapVifsNetworks": {

            },
            "migrationNetwork": "a014b230-2db6-adb4-ba4f-0b1cc07fdcae",

            "targetHost": "3b57d90b-983f-46bb-8f52-4319025d1182"
          }
          {
            "code": 21,
            "data": {
              "objectId": "0ab24395-becb-71f4-4f93-066c2d660cff",
              "code": "VDI_COPY_FAILED"
            },
            "message": "operation failed",
            "name": "XoError",
            "stack": "XoError: operation failed

          }
          

          Now I need to figure out what the real issue is.

            Can you also try with xe too? Maybe the error message will be more clear.

              @olivierlambert Life happened, just spent some time working through scenarios.

              Using xe vm-migrate I can move vms from one host to the other (this is across pools) and back. For me this rules out a host level issue.

              When I try to move the vms that won't migrate in both cases I get the error

              Cannot restore this VM because it would create a duplicate
              

              This clearly points at the two vms that were imported from esxi last year.

              Reviewed the output of xe vm-list params=all uuid=<relevant vm uuid> again and finaly noticed that they both have the same mac_seed: value under other-config (MRW):

              other-config (MRW): auto_poweron: true; vgpu_pci: ; base_template_name: Other install media; mac_seed: 5e88eb6a-d680-c47f-a94a-028886971ba4; install-methods: cdrom
              

              and

              other-config (MRW): auto_poweron: true; import_task: OpaqueRef:680ed8f5-22a5-4a4b-af3b-6988f7734441; install-repository: cdrom; vgpu_pci: ; base_template_name: Other install media; mac_seed: 5e88eb6a-d680-c47f-a94a-028886971ba4; install-methods: cdrom
              

              Could that cause a clash/duplicate error?

                Please modify the mac seed and see if it still trigger the error 🙂

                  @olivierlambert Thanks. Done that.
                  Next stop is

                  xe vm-migrate remote-master=172.25.10.11 remote-username=root remote-password=xxxxxx vif:f4b175c2-0082-212c-b9d9-bd616cd83d2c=a014b230-2db6-adb4-ba4f-0b1cc07fdcae vm=Win10vm
                  Performing a Storage XenMotion migration. Your VM's VDIs will be migrated with the VM.
                  Will migrate to remote host: xen1, using remote network: Pool-wide network associated with eth0. Here is the VDI mapping:
                  VDI 4d4a809d-6801-4462-8e52-811882106821 -> SR 270f8f4a-a24c-ced6-99c7-9bc2ba5f5008
                  VDI 6a30ca10-a386-4e00-91aa-89c3e5bd43de -> SR 270f8f4a-a24c-ced6-99c7-9bc2ba5f5008
                  There were no servers available to complete the specified operation.
                  

                  Doesn't matter what I set the mac_seed to: empty, just a few characters or change one character. Setting it back to the 'original' value reproduces the earlier error about creating a duplicate so the mac_seed value is making a difference. But there seems to be more.

                  I couldn't find anything specific on There were no servers available to complete the specified operation. on the forum, just one hit; someone asking what it means.

                  A wider internet search showed some Citrix /Xen related posts; one about a DVD image not being available anymore so I disabled the DVD but that also made no difference. There is more than enough storage available on the receiving SR; more than double what is needed.

                  But now it gets interesting. When I try to start the vm again I get this:

                  vm.start
                  {
                    "id": "afe623be-5451-fd48-3f24-60120e53f5ab",

                  }

                        false
                      ]
                    },

                  }
                  

                  Setting it back to the 'original' mac_seed value does not even allow me to start the vm. I do get the ' duplicate' error on vm migration.

                  When I start via xe I get

                  xe vm-start vm=Win10vm
                  There are no suitable hosts to start this VM on.
                  The following table provides per-host reasons for why the VM could not be started:
                  
                  xen2    : Cannot start here [Not enough free memory]
                  
                  
                  There were no servers available to complete the specified operation.
                  

                  There is enough free memory (9 Gb available, 6 Gb requested). Even freeing up 15 Gb of memory does not make a diffence. Same errors in XOA and via xe.

                  Any other suggestions?

                    1. So it seems that MAC SEED was the initial issue?
                    2. Can you display the xe vm-param-list uuid=<VM UUID>?

                            That's weird, you have a big diff between memory free and free computed. Ie you don't have enough free memory (computed) to boot the VM right now.

                            edit: maybe you have dynamic memory for some VMs, using more than you think.

                              Dynamic, yes, but total is still very low. Everywhere I look memory usage is just under 9 Gb including 2.2 Gb for xcp-ng. Host has 24 Gb. Should I just reboot to have a clean start?

                                Let's try a reboot, with no VMs up, except the one you want to boot.

                                  I stopped all other VMs and then I was able to start the Win10vm again.

                                  Memory stettings for this VM
                                  Static: 6 GiB/6 GiB
                                  Dynamic: 6 GiB/6 GiB

                                  I'll do a reboot anyway because I have never had this before; normally I have 4-5 vms running and a few Gb of memory free. With the dynamice memory settings. I can only guess that the migrations used memory that was not freed up.

                                  I will reboot both hosts, just to be sure; check the mac_seed and set it to something different and try again.

                                      @olivierlambert Rebooted both hosts, everything came up as expected.
                                      Stopped the Win10vm vm, changed the mac_seed and started the migration.

                                      I have however succesfully migrated the 'other' vm that was imported (and had the duplicate mac_seed) . So both are now running on the same host.

                                      So next to the mac_seed there seems to be something wrong with the imported windows vm; it starts horribly slow indeed.

                                        OK, the underlying disk has problems. I found the kernel.log and it is filling up with read errors. That part is clear now.

                                        So what lead me to try and migrate the vm (slow boot/response) uncovered a mac_seed duplication and we fixed that. Not sure if this was already fixed in the code last year.

                                        On to this prblem; could I have seen the disk issue somewhere in the XO interface? In the logs I only see the higher level issue of failed migrations. It's a learning experience anyway; maybe a mirrored disk could be an answer. Need to investigate.

                                          Interesting to discover that mac_seed could cause this cryptic issue 🤔

                                          XO doesn't have any knowledge on the "state" of the virtual disk, there's no API to expose that (if we can even imagine a way to know that the virtual disk got a problem in the first place)

                                            @olivierlambert Indeed. Learned a lot this week. Thanks for walking me through this.

                                            Should I register anything for mac_seed duplication that is obviously caused by the export from esxi/import into xcp-ng? The MAC address duplciation issue was fixed earlier if I am not mistaken.
