      @Danp Which logs in particular would you think might have some information? Nothing stands out, but the logs are pretty busy.

      I've not tried a warm migration

      I also don't have a warm migration option, since these hosts are all standalone pools.

        I would check var/log/xensource.log first. If the error occurs immediately, then you should be able to tail the file and watch for the error to occur.

          Did you look under the VM's Advanced tab in XO?

            Yea it's not instant, it just kind of times out.

            All VM's are using an shared NFS storage repo as well. I might just tell the team that in order to complete my work I need a window that I can power everything down and start it on a different host.

                It should be there unless your XO is way out of date. 🤔

                  That is very possible, there are currently 3 different XO's running, for reason I won't go into.

                  I'm trying to patch the host all to the same level and consolidate everything under the latest XO, and ideally create a pool out of all 3 hosts. I'm not sure that I'll be able to pool them all if there are VM's running on any given host.

                      You could always try searching for the error in the logs with something like the following --

                      cat /var/log/xensource.log | grep "VM_BAD_POWER_STATE"

                          And searching for the UUID I'm migrating.

                            Based on the description here, it appears to be detecting a halted VM, but the VM is expected to be running.

                            Are you able to location a VM with the UUID of 5008bd88-786a-4bde-a428-b137113a94d6 on either server?

                            P.S. You could also try this from one of your other XO VMs or even spin up a new one to see if that solves the problem.

                              Good find, the UUID 5008bd88-786a-4bde-a428-b137113a94d6 is somehow attached to a different VM.

                              But when I look at the VM itself, it has a different UUID (within XO).

                                Okay now I'm just confused and this must be an XO version bug, I added the 3rd host (that I was wanting to migrate these VMs too) and it shows the VM there.

                                So maybe this is just a display bug.

                                  It's difficult to know for sure where the problem lies since your XO isn't up to date. Wouldn't the host need to already exist in XO in order for it to be a migration target?

                                    Yeah, I had two host connected to this XO instance, just to help get an insight to what is where.

                                    I've disconnected the target host, and can see the VM on the desired host.
