Unable to export OVA

olivierlambert

@Danp can you try on latest commit on master?

Danp

@olivierlambert Appears to be working correctly on the latest commit.

olivierlambert

Yay! @florent : your fix seems to be working

Danp

@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.

olivierlambert

@Danp That's for @florent

florent

@Danp hi

what is the mdisk size of the VM ? we're limited to 2TB per disk

Danp

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