@michmoor0725 The same as the previous one then.

Which commit are you on?

michmoor0725

@julien-f Im new to this so not really sure how to answer that question.

xo-server 5.113.0
xo-web 5.116.1

I can PM my support ID if you need to poke around.

julien-f

@michmoor0725 If you are using an official XOA, I think the best would be to wait for the future patch release (very very soon) and re-test after having upgraded

michmoor0725

@julien-f No worries. I dont mind waiting a bit. I do know a patch was pushed by @florent a few days ago.
Im hoping the patches in the upcoming release fixes the imports. Right now i cant migrate anything. Not critical at this time.

julien-f

@michmoor0725 XO 5.82.1 has just been released in the latest channel with a few bug fixes, please let me know if that helps.

michmoor0725

@julien-f well well well....lol...
You are correct. There is an update and im able to import from VMware. No error messages so far.
Taking about 40 minutes or so but i dont know if thats good or not. I selected a NFS storage thats running on mechanical disks so i suspect thats the bottleneck.

I will keep everyone here up to date if i run into any issues.
Job well done you guys/gals. Job well done

@julien-f VM has been imported but the problem now is networking.
The VM cannot pick up an IP regardless of what network i place it in. The eth0 interface is down. I bring it up no IP. VM is set for DHCP.
I know the vlans work as thats how ive been building test VMs which are configured with a dhcp scope.

For example, ive built a DMZ Host from XO. No issue.
Ive imported a VM from ESXi and placed it in the DMZ vlan. No IP

I took a pcap from the firewall and sure enough I dont see any DHCP Discover packets at all.

michmoor0725

disregard. I rebooted the VM a few times but the solution was to force a dhcp renew
$sudo dhclient

olivierlambert

Good news then

michmoor0725

@olivierlambert Very very good news. Great job on the import tool.

I have a legacy host running VMWare 5.1.0, when attempting to execute

xo-cli --register --allowUnauthorized <host> <user>

I receive the following error

✖ Error: write EPROTO C057D8B5357F0000:error:0A000102:SSL routines:ssl_choose_client_version:unsupported protocol:../deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/statem/statem_lib.c:1987:

    at WriteWrap.onWriteComplete [as oncomplete] (node:internal/stream_base_commons:94:16) {
  code: 'EPROTO',
  errno: -71,
  syscall: 'write'
}

Would VMWare 5.1.0 be too old to transfer via Import from ?

olivierlambert

Hi,

I'm not sure to understand why are you using XO CLI in the first place? Have you tried from the UI directly?

andyh

@olivierlambert

When I try the import from the UI directly I receive the following in the logs:

write EPROTO C0A77278D27F0000:error:0A000102:SSL routines:ssl_choose_client_version:unsupported protocol:../deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/statem/statem_lib.c:1987:

I am using Xen Orchestra from sources (commit 6fe79)
xo-server 5.116.3
xo-web 5.119.1

olivierlambert

Sounds like very old SSL libs that are not supported anymore?

andyh

@olivierlambert

This was my initial thought, I tried to drop the MinProtocol to TLSv1.0 in openssl.cnf and recomplile from source. But the error persisted,

Worst case I can look at manually exporting and importing the VMs.

olivierlambert

Let's wait to see if @florent got an idea

I have some work to do on the SSL ( the current implementation of the lib have some serious limit) , I will try to handle this at the same time.

@florent thanks for the response
