Vsphere Xfer failed "DEVICE_ALREADY_EXISTS"
-
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.
@Danp theres 10 VIF on that one
-
@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?
-
No it shouldn't.

Ok, Thank you!
