      Sounds a good modification to do in the short term until make it editable indeed 🙂

      @chelle_belle if you need assistance so we can configure it this way on your XOA, let me know 🙂

        @olivierlambert - I'm struggling to switch to the channel and do the update. When I got to set it I get this error message:

        06/06/2022, 17:07:33: Start updating...
        06/06/2022, 17:07:33: No manifest found for fix_ova_speed channel.

        I assumed I had to switch to "Unlisted Channel" and then input fix_ova_speed as the Unlisted channel name...

          @chelle_belle a release channel is not the branch on Github, which can be used only if you installed XO from the sources (https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/installation.html#from-the-sources).

          In theory, we could build packages to match such a release channel, but it's not trivial on our side. It might be easier to just install XO from the sources and not using master branch but fix_ova_speed. If you need assistance on doing that, I'm here 🙂

            @chelle_belle If you can open a support tunnel I can deploy the fix today ( with a more reasonable compression level of 1 😅 , thanks @Andrew )

            Can you open a support ticket with the tunnel information ?

              @florent @julien-f Trying the new OVA export (XO source commit c11e0)..... I exported a VM quickly and without a zombie task left over (good), but then I tried to import it and got no error when clicking import but it did nothing (failure without notice). The logs do show an error:

                @Andrew This problem does not happen before the last 3 commits?

                I believe the issue is the affinity: null, but I don't see how it can be related to these changes. 🤔

                      @julien-f Still an issue... Two steps forward, one step back (commit 83690).

                      Import now starts, no error, but it does not finish.

                      The task is started, the VM is created, the data is uploaded, the task exits, but the import page does not finish and the VM name is left as [Importing...] NginX Test. No logs in the UI.

                      I can force start the VM, so it looks like the data is ok.

                          @Andrew do you have more than 1 disk in your test VM?

                            @olivierlambert No. Just one disk.

                                  @florent That works now! (branch: fix_ova_import). I have not tested it with other OVA files, but it works for the one that failed (that was exported by XO).

                                    @florent It might also be worth looking into why the XO OVA export function created a file that had problems importing.

                                      Was this never resolved? I'm trying to export to ova tonight and same symptoms as above, export starts, stalls until task is finished, then the download starts but fails after 100MB or so.

                                        I think @shinuza is now working on this. Don't forget to be sure you are using the latest commit.

                                        Also, please try with XOA too in latest channel to compare the result.

                                          I'm trying to find a way to schedule these long running tasks so we are not dependent on the browser staying opened and connected to XOA. Also we are looking at means to improve the export speed.

                                            @olivierlambert i did update xoa again but no dice, i was wanting to export a couple VM's and do a head to head iscsi I/O test between vmware and xcp on identical hardware but not having much luck trying to get my VM's out of xcp. Guess I'll have to wait for this to work possibly.
