RPM package vmfs6-tools missing for local migration procedure
-
We'll rebuild a package for XCP-ng. The perk on converting in-line is to avoid any network transfer to make it faster.
-
You're right. It's certainly easier that way

@GuillaumeHullin Hi !
I rebuild (with an assist, I admit) an RPM based on a src.rpm I found
If you want to test it, you can find it here: https://nextcloud.ataxya.net/index.php/s/Jb7Cg57gPHRjfSk
No guaranties that will work, I don't have any vmfs to test the package
Let me know if you can test it !
-
@AtaxyaNetwork Sure I can test and I'll report back if it was successful.
Thanks a lot. -
@AtaxyaNetwork seems to work fine. I can mount my VMFS6 and the conversion is in progress.
Do you need specific test?
Note: did it on a fresh install of XCP-ng and after a yum update. -
If the conversion works, then it works
Ideally, we'll need to see if it yields to the end of the conversion, and if you can actually boot the VM after that. -
No problem I’ll update when it’s done and working.
-
Thanks! We'll update the doc after that to point with the right package (and maybe even add the package in XCP-ng reps directly)
-
@olivierlambert
Happy to report that it worked perfectly. VM booted without an issue.@AtaxyaNetwork
Thanks for such quick compile. -
Excellent! So we need to get the package available easily and update our doc.
@Team-OS-Platform-Release please have a look on this, thanks!
-
@GuillaumeHullin You're welcome !
I hope the XCP-ng team can integrate the package easily !

Hello,
We've added a card to our backlog to investigate this topic.
