XOA 5.110 - Import from VMWare shows "vddk:" without ok or checkmark status
-
Hello XOA community,
I'm contacting you as when trying to import the VDDK file that I've downloaded from Broadcom's site so it could install for XOA, the spinning circle for the import wizard just kept spinning and never completed. After 15+ minutes, I've restarted XOA services and now when you go into Import > From VMWare, I get that all the other components are good, but the VDDK shows 'vddk:' with no green checkmark or ok listed.
Is there a way to get back to the import VDDK screen or install it manually for my XOA? I'm using XOA built from the latest sources.

Hi @Andrw0830
This is a known issue (the spinning circle), which will likely be addressed in an upcoming patch. Have you tried performing a migration now that you are at the main import screen?

@Danp When I go through the Import steps and hit the Import button on the bottom, I see it spinning and in the past, you'll see the process added to the Tasks list, but nothing new gets added to the Task list. When you go to VMs, it does show the VM powered off, but no disks listed.
Do you have a manual way of applying the VDDK to XOA or a script file I can run via cli on the XOA server so I know the VDDK is truly applied.
To give a more overview on what happened, when I had the VDDK wizard come up to choose the tar file to install, the libnbd plugin I had wasn't installed properly, so I wonder if that's why the VDDK didn't get installed properly. Now that I have both plugins installed, I need to repeat the VDDK install.

@Andrw0830 Run the following command to remove the VDDK directory tree --
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/vddkIt should prompt you to install the library again after doing this.
