Importing ovf appliance question
-
@anik I'm trying to setup dell open manage enterprise for a couple of weeks.
I imported version 3 and 4 from esxi. Both won't work after. I also tried to convert ovf, kvm and hyper v image. The conversion worked. But open mange will not boot on xcp-ng.
I got a supported ticket open for this as well.
No luck so far.

@456Q Hi !
Can you give me the link to the open manage image (just to be sure i have the right one) ?
I have 3 R630 with enterprise iDRAC, i can try it in my infra to see i'll be able to boot it

It's working !
Let me write a small tutorial to explain how i make it boot, i'll post it ASAP.
Or if you prefer, I can send the .vhd with the patch directly -
@AtaxyaNetwork No way
That's fantastic. I'm really curious to learn the fix. It might help someone else here as well.So please post the steps if its not to complicated.
THANKS

@456Q I'll do a blog post since it will be a little long to explain here
TLDR: Dell remove entirely the Xen driver, which is needed to be able to use the disk and the network. Had to install an other SUSE (yeah, OME is an SLES) to get the driver and insert it in the OME VM via a rescue box

@AtaxyaNetwork Oh wow. That might be past my linux skill level. I would love to try the vhd file if you can share it with me. This should get me started for sure. But please do the blog post as well.

@456Q No problem !
Let me export the .vhd and upload it somewhere. I'll give you the link in private, with the password of the applianceI already start to write the blog post

@AtaxyaNetwork THANK YOU
