      Some time ago I installed xoa using git, and I was never able to create a config. Click save config resulted with no action. This was apparent with or without a key.

      I have just installed using the import method (btw both the web and bash procedures failed to complete due to a network timeout, but downloading the xva worked)

      I have access to both versions, is it possible to transfer the extensive configuration on the older xoa to the new one?

        Hello,

        1. XOA is not from Git. XOA means Xen Orchestra virtual Appliance (the thing you deploy and we redistribute). XO from Git is called "XO from the sources" 🙂
        2. Maybe your version from Git was broken or too old, impossible to tell. But it should work to export there and import in your XOA.

          Thanks for the clarification. To be honest I don't know how it was installed.

          Plan A

          Where is the config file placed on the operating system, for example using safari, it typicall down loads to the Download directory?

          Basically I followed these instructins from the web site
          If you still use the first XOA (which was not the "unified" version), you can easily migrate all your settings (ACLs, users, servers, etc) to the new version painlessly.

          To do so, go into "Settings/Config" of your old XOA. Export the configuration: you'll download a config.json file.

          Plan B

          Assuming I cannot get a config from the old system by the export/import method, is there a file I can transfer from the old to the new instance of Xen Orchestra virtual Appliance

            Plan A is the right way. Plan B is far more complicated 😕

              I totally agree, however as I stated there is no indication of a config file being created so Plan B may be the only way,
              so is there a file(s) I can access on the old to update the new instance?

                When you click download config and enter the passphrase, please check if your Safari isn't blocking a pop-up window.

                You can check that on the address bar, there should be an icon of two windows overlapped. Press there.

                  You Sir are a star!! 🙂

                  On the variant of safarii it didn't do as you said, but it did flash up a message for about a second in the address line, so I then went into the settings and enable allow popups.

                  Its a shame the vendor couldn't come up with an answer, we are reassessing the product at the moment and software is assesd not only the product but also the level of support pre sales. 😞

                  Thanks again Maverick and have a nice weekend.

                    What do you mean by the vendor? Us? I don't remember seeing a ticket on that topic, but I might missed it 🤔

                      @Aimdev eh man people use a lot of different browsers and don't always remember all the options, the dev's here are top 5 star really.

                      I did it because I do use Safari and simply replicated the steps and noticed the pop-up warning (I never allow pop-ups by default) so I figured that could be the issue.

                      Have a great weekend you too and you're welcome!
