@olivierlambert Thanks! Very little time/ learning progress had been made/spent on this VM so I have gone ahead and created a new VM. The VM with the mysterious device still exists. So it would be interesting to know how but not essential.
@psafont Freezing/thawing doesn't actually suspend a VM, but it's just a part of the backup process, where I/O operations are quiesced to create a stable view of the on-disk data.

Operator
An operator can make everyday operations on assigned objects. For example, on a VM:
eject a CD
insert a CD (if he can view the ISO storage repository)
start, restart, shutdown, suspend/resume it
All other operations are forbidden.
[...]
As I understand it (I may be mistaken), changing the "Rate Limit" is already a configuration change and should not be available to an Operator.

Yes, I do use NUT, but I don’t want to install any additional packet on XCP-ng. The way I found leverage the SSH authorized keys restrictions, and so you only need to change one file.
Thanks for the link anyway
I had the same question but the responses here was amazing and the following blogpost nailed it. I hope it helps someone else too: https://techdirectarchive.com/2026/01/25/a-z-of-xcp-ng-and-xen-orchestra-setup-and-vm-creation/
@LoTus111 Hello, I attempted to reproduce the issue without success. Could you please share the logs with us so we can conduct a deeper investigation? Feel free to send them to me via PM.
I managed to do the migration by splitting over the two storages the remove system has.
This made it work and I managed to move that one VM. However I still have a second one
It's thick provisioned (LVM - never can remember the terms thin/thick).
Offline isn't an option unfortunately since I need the services running, can't take if off for 15 hours. But since two of the services are docker containers, both having a separate disk of 500GB, I can make it work by setting up a two new systems and moving everything from the container there. Which would reduce the size by 1TB and make thing easier to manage.
Was hoping I could finally upgrade the main xcp-ng last weekend.
You must select a template, you can configure everything after (as @pilow said).
It's meant to have some low level specifics you don't want to learn (BIOS/UEFI mode, some virt modes etc.)
I just released 0.0.3 https://github.com/benapetr/XenAdminQt/releases/tag/v0.0.3-alpha it brings it even closer to the original client, with packages for macos, debian12, debian13, ubuntu 22, ubuntu 24, Fedora 43, windows
@florent said in Problems import vm Vmware to Xcp-ng from import Vmware and OVA:
@olivluca skip ssl check in the import form
I already did that. In fact it connects and I can get a list of VMs to import.
