XCP-NG VMWare import starts but stays a 0%
-
It's a known issue caused by a recent commit on the Github repo. You can rollback to an earlier commit to get it working, or you can deploy a trial of XOA Premium.

Ah, OK.
In the previous tries, I used the CLI to remove the VM so its "ghost" didn't kick around. Is that the best procedure?

You can delete it from either the CLI or the GUI. Was the VM stopped when you tried the import? This is currently a requirement with ESXi above 6.5.
-
Yes, the VM was stopped.
The weird thing was I could see XO counting the VM (like seeing 1 of 2 on the VM page), but it wasn't something I could see/select and delete; that's why I used the CLI.

So, I spun up a Premium XOA and imported a Windows 10 VM without any issues.
I then imported a Windows Server 2012R2 (the joys of supporting old software), and it will only show up in the VM list if it's running. When it's off, it disappears. XOA knows there's a VM, as at the top, it says it's showing 3 of 4 VMs.
I also can access the VM's page if I use its UUID in the URL.
So why is the UI dropping the VM? It acts the same way in home built XO as well.

@kopeck Are you clearing the default filter of
power_state:running, which shows only running VMs? -

At any rate, thank you.
I can't seem to get XOA to recognize that Xen tools are installed; I'll keep plugging away on that one.

What version of the tools are you trying to install? What OS?
-
The XenServer VM Tools. I thought about using the XCP-NG ones for a few minutes, but they looked like they were a work in progress.
Crappy old Windows Server 2012R2, it's to support an older application.
The XenServer VM Tools worked fine on the Windows 10 VM that I imported earlier.

@kopeck Sometimes it takes a few reboots for everything to settle down.
