        @dgmcdona I see that the system did not recognize the disk, I will look into it deeper.

          The fix should be here: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/5255 if you have the ability to test Xo from the sources

          nraynaud created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

          closed fix(xo-vmdk-to-vhd/grabTables): read each entry independently #5255

            Greetings all

            browser - Brave (Chromium 85.0.4183.102)
            XOA community edition - updated today via script

            xo-server 5.66.2
            xo-web 5.70.0

            I am also having this issue. It's an ova file from virtualbox - I created it back in 2018 , if that is part of the problem?

            Here is my error log:

            bubbles: false

            I do see this line

            DOMException: The requested file could not be read, typically due to permission problems

            What perms do I need to set on the ova to let it read this ova and import? I regret that I can not share the ova file as it is private but I can try and debug perhaps?

            Here is the error log from XOA Enterprise (I run both VMs) when trying to import the same file.
            xo-server 5.64.1
            xo-web 5.67.0

            Anything else I can provide to help debug, lmk. Thank you.

            Edit - I attempted to import via the windows xen center and that also failed to import. I can attach logs if you tell me how, but I think xen center is another dev team. I might need to somehow convert my ova file from 2018 to a newer standard somehow?

            The private ova file is a debian 8 system with the default gui install. It has a VMDK as it's disk format.. I am fairly certain I would have set that up as dynamically allocated.

              @ben20ben @nraynaud has created a pull request with the fix, but if you're not using XO from the sources, it won't be available until the next release of XOA, which will hopefully be soon. Also, not sure if you're problem has been caused by the same issue.

                @dgmcdona I am using both the XOA enterprise and the community edition.

                I updated the community edition of XOA to the newest version using the script that is on github , I linked to the script in my last post. Does that pull in the fix or do I have to apply a patch within XOA? I am confused as to what a github pull request is.. I am a noob at this clearly. I do run the community and it's updated. What else do I need to do to apply the patched code to my XOA community instance?

                Thanks!

                  @ben20ben I see that they merged the relevant pull request into the master branch 3 days ago, so if you're running XO from the sources, and you do an update, the patch should be applied.

                    I also am having trouble importing a virtualbox ova.

                    ova.jpg

                    This is what I get when I try to import.

                    This is the source of the file:

                    https://github.com/librenms/packer-builds/releases/download/1.63/librenms-ubuntu-18.04-amd64.ova

                    Any ideas?

                      I should have mentioned, I tried to import from XOA as well.

                      This is what it looks like:

                      ova2.png

                      If I click import it seems to do something but after a few minutes nothing happens.

                      No VM ever shows up either.

                      Thanks
