Import OVA silently fails

olivierlambert

So there's a leak when you import How big is the OVA?

Can you try with the OVA CLI?

The VM is 138GB. I read those instructions, what i am failing to understand is where and how I point it to my local disk? Do you have an example of using a file in C:\Export (on a windows box)?

The example the OVA appears to be local to XOA?

Please advise,
Thank you

I have tried to use a SR that is used for ISO:

xo-upload-ova --upload Spiceworks-Production.ova 1fee8757-644e-2bce-beb0-9f85380a5842 --override 'nameLabel=test' descriptionLabel='Spiceworks' memory=json:671088640 disks.vmdisk1.descriptionLabel='disk description' disks.vmdisk1.capacity=json:1342177280

The issue of course is, how do i get the settings for disk size and memory. When i try to:

 xo-upload-ova --inspect Spiceworks-Production.ova 1fee8757-644e-2bce-beb0-9f85380a5842

It doesn't know where that file is, does it have to be on a Local SR to XOA?

Ping @nraynaud who did that

nraynaud

I am looking into it on my side. I might come back with questions.

Andrew C

OK no problem, i look forward to hearing from you.

@nraynaud Any update?

nraynaud

I'm still on it, I think I found an unrelated bug whose effect would be to upload a VM without any disk.

nraynaud

I think I got the bug, there is some cleanup and QA to be done before releasing a fix.

@nraynaud Thanks for working on this. Is the fix pushed to the latest stream or still in QA?

olivierlambert

It will be released very soon (for this month release)

@olivierlambert Thanks!
