How can I migrate an ESXi VM with the HPE Microsoft Windows 2019 ROK version operating system to an XCP-ng environment?

Hi,

V2V doesn't work?

Thank you. I will conduct tests after setting up XCP-ng in the client environment. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this experience?

Hi Sir,
The XOA had updated to date version , and I got the error message "404 Not Found https://esxi_IP/folder/db/db.vmx?dcPath=folder&dsName=datastore" when migrate from XOA , this site without vcenter . I doubt the parameter dcPath needs to be present , because it's success to download the db.vmx when I browse https://esxi_IP/folder/db/db.vmx?dsName=datastore.
How to fix it ?

404 means the URL cannot be reach from XOA. This error is returned by the HTML destination server, it's not invented or generated by XOA.

Hi,The message as below :

}

This infra is just one ESXi 6.7 host without vcenter. The XOA is up to date latest version 5.99. The migration failed for VMs located on storage RS2421RP+, but succeeded for VMs located on another storage datastore1. Could the storage naming be causing this error 404?"

It's very likely the name/URL you have provided that is not found on ESXi side

andyhhlin

Could the storage name 'RS2421RP+' be causing this error 404? Should I rename the storage to remove any special characters? or as working on a standalone ESXi host (not under a vCenter), the dcPath might not be required , then how to fix it ?

olivierlambert

That's a possibility. Can you try and report after rename?
