      @cbritton thank you, that would be great.

      I really want everybody here know that I believe there is a bug in my code, it's just that I really need help reproducing on my machine to pinpoint it.

            @nraynaud I see you have fixed the bug. How do I implement this? Do I have to rebuild XO from sources again? Also, thanks for fixing it.

              @martinhorton yes, if you were running from the sources, you'll need to rebuild from master.

              If you're using Xen Orchestra Appliance, the fix is available in the 'latest' channel in version 5.48.1 https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

                @nraynaud Thanks for the reply. Yes, I figured it out and the import seems to be running now! Thanks

                  SO I managed to import an ova of about 60 gigs and the import worked. However it can't boot?
                  This is a windows-10 vm from esxi converted with ovftool.
                  Any idea?

                    When something doesn't work, please explain in what way. Otherwise, it's a bit hard to help you 🙂

                    Example: you said it doesn't boot. But in what way? Any error message?

                      Makes sense. Here is a screenshot of the console....

                        1. Are you sure the VM got the disk plugged?
                        2. On VMware, did you use BIOS or UEFI boot? Switch to the correct value in XO (for example), in VM/advanced tab

                          Whoa. The vm instance was set to EFI boot and xcp-ng had it set to BIOS. I figured the conversion would set that correctly and I had not checked. I changed it to EFI and it's working now ! Thank you for the quick response !

                              yes sir.
                              Quick question, Is there any way to speed up the vm import ? Takes all day from my desktop to my esxi box which has instances on an nfs drive.

                                Keep in mind the file has to flow from your browser toward your XOA, then to your XOA to your host, which might use another network share itself.

                                If your XOA could mount the place where you have your OVA directly, you could use upload-ova utility (see https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/tree/master/%40xen-orchestra/upload-ova#usage ) to send them directly.

                                  Going to look into that, thank you.
