When you import XOA or the OVA?

When I'm trying to import the VM from vmware in .OVA format. -
- So I suppose your XOA is fully up-to-date?
- Anything is settings/logs?
- Check also the browser console for errors (Chrome or Firefox)

Everything is default except the vms im trying to import. The machine i could import was a new installed one just upgraded. The vms that doesnt work, and gives me the error above, are vms that i've been running for a while. I just shut them down and take away snapshot and unstinall vmware-tools. Then export them as OVAs and try and import them into xcp-ng via XO/XOA.edit: This was the reason i stayed with vmware, because i couldnt import them last time either (1-2y) agho

Ok but that weren't my questions:
- Is your XOA fully up-to-date?
- Anything is Xen Orchestra menu, Settings/Logs?
- Check also the browser console for errors (Chrome or Firefox) when importing the OVA
Ultimately, if you can upload this OVA somewhere, it would be possible for us to see if it comes from the OVA itself and fix it

Sure give me a server to upload it too
5 GB. Since I can upload 1 it would seem to me that there is either a problem with the importer or de .ova file. Is there a logfile I can look into while importing to see anything?@olivierlambert said in Try to import .ova:

Yes it is.

Nopes nothing but the message i typed above.

I'll do that now.

I'm not sure what to do in FF. But the console gave me this info
"fileSize Minecraft vanilla server.ovf 8390 B 0.000007813796401023865 GB index.js:105:10
fileSize Minecraft_vanilla_server-disk1.vmdk 5117238272 B 4.765799522399902 GB index.js:105:10
fileSize Minecraft vanilla server.mf 163 B 1.51805579662323e-7 GB index.js:105:10"Edit: In the other XO version I could see the VM in the list inside XO. But with this turnkey version I cant even see the vm. SO the problem seems to be before it even trying to create/importing it.

Yep, probably a malformed OVA (or with special stuff inside).
Please upload it somewhere so I can test it. Create a support ticket if you want to provide a private link.

@olivierlambert
Okej I will do that now. Will create a ticket too.Edit: Hmm were do I create a ticket?

Thanks, this way we'll have a way to understand what's wrong with this OVA, if it's something really specific or a VMWare way to make something we didn't expected
