      @Darkbeldin said in Unable to export OVA:

      And download still failing with chrome or FF

      Did you happen to check the logs to see if this was caused by the same out of memory issue.

      FWIW, tested again using latest sources and export still fails for me.

          @Darkbeldin Ok so I can confirm increasing the ressources on my XOA VM (4x vCPUS and 8GiB RAM) allowed me to export my VM to OVA

              @Darkbeldin I increased my resources to match yours, but the export still fails. Watching in htop, the memory usage balloons at the point that the export task reaches 100%.

                  @Darkbeldin For me, memory usage remained fairly low / stable until the export task completed in XO. The memory usage then ballooned to 100%.

                            @olivierlambert While exporting a stopped VM, it's not possible to start the VM until the export finishes. So it might be good to add some form of warning message.

                              That's a behavior you have for XVA exports too, since it XenServer exists (you can export a disk while it's live, because… that would export garbage)

                                @olivierlambert Ran into an issue when I tried importing the newly exported OVA. Here's the error shown in the browser console --

                                  @olivierlambert One way around that would be to optionally take a snapshot even if the VM is stopped.

                                        @florent Nothing large. Either 10 or 20GB. I'm thinking it's due to the same issue as here.
