Importing XVA File

droidus

I need to be in a certain directory to do "yarn start"?
I tried "yarn start" and get the same error.

Danp

Yes... try switching to the directory where you cloned the xen-orchestra repository and then reissue the command.

droidus

OK, I guess I thought "yarn" would be recognized from anywhere (added to the environment variable). So yarn needs to access certain files in the CWD?
Thank you!

Danp

Yarn is recognized from anywhere. But you can't call it from one directory and expect it to know that you want it to process instructions from a completely different directory.

Is there a way to import an image via the CLI?

I attempted to import my XO-CE ova (From virtualbox 5) into xcp-ng, but got an error saying check the log file. So I did, and noticed this:

Note: The name of the file that I am trying to import is NOT called "XenOvf.ovf".

Are you running XO on Windows?

droidus

I am not. I am running the browser in Windows.

You should try with an XOA to rule out any environment issue
