      I am migrating a physical Windows Server to virtual, I exported the VM in VHDX format, what is the procedure to transfer this VHDX image to my XCP-ng?

        Hi,

        See https://docs.xcp-ng.org/installation/migrate-to-xcp-ng/#-from-hyper-v (export in VHD, not VHDX)

          I'm not sure if you would have to convert it to OVA or XVA but you would normally just import it.

              I will import it through XCP-ng Center, but should it be in VHD? I remember reading somewhere that it needs to be VHDX for XCP-NG Center

                Well XCP-ng center may work, its not the tool of choice for this type of work. Xen Orchestra or XOA would be the ideal ways

                  I understand, can you guide me on how to install and use XO?

                    There is documentation on the website "installing XO from source" or you can google search it. I have a GitHub repo myself that makes the installation process very straight-forward.

                      If you want to try out the pre-built appliance (XOA), then you can deploy it from here.
