      I wonder if it's creating a device at the same position twice or something. IIRC, this error is raised when you try to create a VIF or a VBD at the same device position (device ID).

      What's your 1GiB drive?

      @florent any idea why?

        How many network interfaces are defined on this VM?

          @olivierlambert the 1G drive is set up for some software licensing we have.

            @jebrown For now, there is a limit of 7 network interface on a VM on XCP-ng/Xen Orchestra.

              10 VIFs could work but not out of the box, that's the issue. Try to remove some VIF and try again the import 🙂

                That was the issue! Thank you! I reduced it to 6 and the transfer is now running......... Will there be support for more than 7 VIF's or is there a way to add more than 7 now?

                  You can add more via the CLI, see https://docs.xcp-ng.org/appendix/cli_reference/#vif-create

                    Will adding by CLI cause any issues with migrations or backups?
