Error importing vhd or VM

Gheppy

copy vhd to Xen local disk
run command
xe vdi-imporrt "name".vhd

olivierlambert

xe vdi-import uuid=uuid_of_vdi filename=filename_to_import_from --progress

Gheppy

import is ok

olivierlambert

Good, then it's maybe your XO build. Could you try on a fresh XOA fully up to date on latest?

Gheppy

@olivierlambert
XOA or XO form source ?

olivierlambert

I specifically said "XOA", so it's XOA There's no "latest" on XO from the sources.

Gheppy

@olivierlambert
For this I need to do a little more work, it gives the same error on import for xoa_unified.xva.
I'm going to bring the XOCE to a working version so I can import the xva

olivierlambert

You can deploy XOA without XO. See https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/xoa for example.

Gheppy

@olivierlambert
I have no internet for this network

olivierlambert

Then use xe CLI to import manually the XVA. But you'll need to update XOA with an internet access, in order to be on latest version.

Gheppy

@olivierlambert

I managed to import it with XCP-ng Center (it was easier that way). After the update to latest, the same problem.
xo-server 5.109.0 xo-web 5.111.0

Edit:
Downgrade to stable the same problem, but after 2 minutes of transfer
xo-server 5.107.5 xo-web 5.109.0

olivierlambert

Is it possible to have access to this VHD file?

Gheppy

@olivierlambert
Ill share this vhd

On XOA stable I exported the VM and imported and all is ok, but on XOA I cant export VHD file ( no options)

Edit:
On XOA latest, I exported the VM (xva) and imported with no success

olivierlambert

You can export a VHD in XO. On the SR/disk tab, you should have an "export" icon to get the VHD.

Gheppy

@olivierlambert
This is what I have on XO on SR/disk tab

And this on XOCE

olivierlambert

Yes, that's the export button. Are you on XOA Free for the first screenshot?

Gheppy

@olivierlambert
yes, I use XOA Free

olivierlambert

Can you try on XOA in trial? (if you trial expired, PM me your registered email so I can extend it)

Gheppy

I don't know how, but:

XOA trial export can be imported with XOCE commit cf4a1d7d40a16f08122ce7487dce7c8ab9d73513
XOCE export can not be imported with XOA trial
XOA trial export can not be imported with the same XOA trial

I tested this 3 times with the same result

Edit:
I update XOCE in this morning and:

XOCE commit cf4a1d7d40a16f08122ce7487dce7c8ab9d73513 export, now can be imported with XOCE same commit, but not with XOA trial
XOCE commit 675405f7ace55411b1ca0bbed8b9e31504fcc387 export can be imported with XOCE commit cf4a1d7d40a16f08122ce7487dce7c8ab9d73513, but not with XOA trial

I'll downgrade to XOCE commit 675405f7ace55411b1ca0bbed8b9e31504fcc387 to see what happens when I import XOCE commit cf4a1d7d40a16f08122ce7487dce7c8ab9d73513 export

Edit2:
It seems that the problem no longer appears after the commit cf4a1d7d40a16f08122ce7487dce7c8ab9d73513, for now
I still can't import with XOA trial, both VMs (XOA and XOCE) are on the same server.

With commit 9ff305d5db2028c989df4b362db828f5bbb5b1b3, I get this error and can't export VM or VHD

HTTP handler of vm.import
undefined
{
  "message": "Xapi#watchTask() requires events watching",
  "name": "Error",

And I get this on tasks
