Unable to import VMDK file

olivierlambert

Hey

What about XOA in stable, same issue?

Danp

@olivierlambert Yes, the issue is the same in stable channel.

Apparently I missed this earlier when I checked Settings > Logs --

I wonder what broke "recently" on this

@Danp if you have the patience, could you test "older" XO version on Github? So see if at some point it worked?

Danp

@olivierlambert I found this prior issue on GH. I reattempted the import from 7387ac, but it still fails.

Starting to wonder if the issue is environmental.

olivierlambert

Maybe it's specific to this file you have. @Darkbeldin when you can, can you download the file and try on your side?

We need to check on other VMDKs to see if it's a global issue, limited to this VMDK, or finally due to something else in the environment.

Darkbeldin

on it

Danp

This seems more like an HTTP timeout because it always occurs around the 5 minute mark.

@Danp I can confirm tried on latest and stable can't import this VMDK import cutting down in the middle, will have to llok at the xoa logs to see if I can spot any error.

olivierlambert

We should try other VMDKs I think.

@olivierlambert I know it's not a part of this ticket but I'm not able to export ova (vmdk) files and get them to import into anything else. I've tried vmware workstation pro, vmware fusion, and vituralbox.

I get an OVA or if I download the vmdk from the disk menu but even if I added it to an existing vm they either can't read it or it's corrupt and can't be repaired.

These VMs boot and work fine on XCP-ng (I haven't tried to reimport an exported one).

This issue is no longer present when testing with latest sources.
