      @severhart as Flo said, it's because of your VMware version (6.5+) that is using another "diff" format not yet supported. In your case, you should do a cold migration for now, until we support this diff format šŸ™‚

          Hey @magicker can you give us more details? Are you using XOA or XO from the sources? At which version? Also on VMware side, what's your ESXi version?

              So the diff for warm migration isn't supported on ESXi 7.0 (yet!). So your VM must be halted first (on the VMware side I mean)

                    Executing the following command resulted in an error until I powered the VM off:

                    ESXi host ==> VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 19092475

                    Any ideas?

                      Same answer than my previous post: since ESXi 6.5, there's a new diff algorithm šŸ™‚ @florent is working on it, but it's even more complicated than the "legacy" one šŸ˜‰

                        @olivierlambert oh ok, I saw that and thought your comment was specific to the ESXi 7 version.

                        Thanks for the speedy response. I'd love to know how you clone yourself to be so responsive 24/7. Or am I talking to a Vates instance of ChatGPT?

                          Sometimes I wonder šŸ˜“ But mostly because community is always my priority, regardless the fact we are a company with more than 30 people nowadays (with everything included on what is means).

                            new issue.. I am trying to pull a vm (powered off) from a server I have already pulled 3 vms from (no problems)

                            However, this time it takes a few seconds before the command ends.

                            I can see the vm however, no disk is pulled over at all.

                            no obvious errors in logs.

                                that's a great start that 3 VM goes through without problems
                                is your esxi still responsive after ? did you retry later ? what are the disks size of the failed vm ?

                                  @florent Yes, esxi is just fine. All running VMs are happy. I have pulled one more off this server after the failed attempt. Have tried about 6 times .. same result.. VM appears.. process completes after a few seconds.. no disk appears

                                  The disc config seems very boring and normal.

                                    Interested in this. I currently have an entire dedicated server running ESXi solely for the purpose of running a licening server for load balancers. ie lowest of low impact.

                                    Would love to get that into xcp-ng so the server can be used for something else.

                                      @magicker is there any logs on xo-sevrer side ? If you use a xoa, can you open a ticket and a support tunnel ?

                                            it depends hos you installled xo-server, but in general it's in journalctl -u xo-server
