Issues migration esxi to do the virtual machine Windows server and SQL in xo

guillemrebull

Hello.

I'm having problems migrating a virtual machine from esxi to xo.

This machine has 3 hard drives of 150GB + 20GB + 100GB.

When checking the error logs, I get an error:
"message": "503 Service Unavailable https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/folder/testSql2017/testSql2017_3-000001-delta.vmdk?dcPath=ha-datacenter&dsName=StorageVM_03",

This error appears on each hard drive. I understand that the delta is the snapshot that xo takes before migrating?

Then I have these more errors on the import:

 "task": {
 "uuid": "4ee878dd-53f4-85b0-e5a3-7e19aa9a17e8",
 "name_label": "[XO] Importing content into VDI [ESXI]testSql2017_1-flat.vmdk on SR Nfs_VM02",
 "name_description": "",
 "allowed_operations": [],

 "created": "20240921T21:34:42Z",
 "finished": "20240921T21:55:00Z",
 "status": "failure",
 "resident_on": "OpaqueRef:621f8618-cbed-40ee-9b57-81c5ed682dac",
"progress": 1,
"type": "<none/>",
"result": "",
"error_info": [
"VDI_IO_ERROR",
"Device I/O errors"

I guess they are related.

Any idea how to fix it??

Thanks.

Hi,

First, let's check something: can you create working VMs right in XO/XCP-ng first?

@olivierlambert thanks olivier

Yes I can create the job from import---->vmware.
I can access the vmware host as root user and full permissions.

The job starts to perform the migration, stops after 40-45 min.

In xo it creates the vm and the hard drive, but they are corrupted.
I tried to boot the machine created in xo in case I was lucky.

Thanks in advance.

That's not what I'm asking I'm asking to create a VM directly in XCP-ng without any VMware convert, just a fresh/new one and see if everything is alright on XCP-ng side first.

Hi.
Sorry.

I created a virtual machine in XO/XCP-ng and it created it perfectly.

I migrated a similar virtual machine but with only one hard drive and it also migrated it fine.

503 Service Unavailable

This message comes from your ESXi host, not XO. I have limited expertise on VMware, but I would check the logs there to understand if there's a problem.

Could it be that the drive where the hard drives are in vmware does not have enough space to take snapshots of them?

Since there are 220 GB between the three hard drives.

I might have hard time to give you a confirmation, but worth checking on the VMware side, yes
