Unable to Import Disks
-
I am unable to import disks, from either XOA or XCP-ng Center. I'm running 2 hosts in a pool, both 8.2.1. I just pushed updates to both hosts, which are saying their up to date.
I have 2 iSCSI pools hosted on a TrueNAS server, and local storage on each machine. Cannot import to either one.
When using XOA, I get 2 "Cannot Fetch" errors when importing, and nothing in the logs. XCP-ng Center just fails out and says the import failed. I am able to import these VHDs to another pool, so the disks are fine.
Attached is the XCP-ng Center log entry for failure. XOA does not generate a failure log, and the logs on the pool master for the same period doesn't indicate any failure. It shows a whole lot of success and then just quits.
Thank you.[link text](xcp_ng_center_error_bombast_09_26_2023.txt link url)

Hi,
- XCP-ng Center isn't a support client, so let's forget this part
- What are you trying to import in XOA exactly? What format and how big? How are you doing the import in XOA? Is your XOA fully up to date?

Last night I was trying to import a small vhd (10GB) with random garbage shoved in it just to test.
Previously I tried vhd disks generated with disk2vhd of both a Windows 10 and Windows 11 machine. Settings for disk2vhd were "Prepare for use in a virtual machine" and vhdx off. Both of these disk were successfully imported into another XCP-ng system and booted into a VM without issue. I also tried a vmdk and got the same error, though I did not try that disk in another XCP system so I can't verify it was configured properly. These disks were in the 120GBish range.
I am using the web interface in Xen Orchestra to do imports. Versions below.
xo-server 5.93.1
xo-web 5.96.0 -
If it's XO from sources, check the git commit number to be sure you are latest.

Any chance this could be a network issue? Are you on a flat network or are things segmented and routed between each other?

I want to apologize for the delay in response. Right after posting this I got slammed at work. Yesterday was the first good office day where I could sit down and get this sorted.
I took the lazy route to olivierlambert's suggestion and just made a new XOA VM. I successfully important a 1TB Windows 10 VM last night, so the issue seems resolved.
I'm somewhat confused by the version numbers I'm seeing, which I'll post below, but everything is working so I can live with it.
Non-Functional XO
xo-server 5.93.1
xo-web 5.96.0Functional XO
xo-server 5.80.0
xo-web 5.84.0 -
Any chance you were on a different release channel which is why you were seeing newer version numbers?
Either way, as long as it's working that's great.

It's like your XOA wasn't up to date
