Importing ovf appliance question
-
Hi,
I am trying to import Dell OpenManage appliance and I have the following files:
In Xen Orchestra I know how to import the OVF file but I am nit sure what to do with theovf_properties.configandupdate_ovf_properties.pyfiles.Could anyone please advise?
Thank you

I believe I ran into a similar issue when moving from ESXi to XCP-NG, you'll need to package the OVF files into an OVA. This guide runs through the process:
http://www.vmwarearena.com/export-vm-to-ova-or-ovf-using-ovf-tool/
-
Somewhere we have a Python script able to read inside that folder the OVF to create the VM and then to import the VMDK.
-
Is that someone internal to Vates or buried in XO? That would make transitioning off of VMware even easier if I don't have to repackage the OVF into and OVA and it could be done on the fly from XO.

It's not publicly available yet, since it's more a service we provide as migration assistance with our XCP-ng Enterprise support.
But it will public at some point, when "generic" enough to be released

@olivierlambert Any chance you could PM it to us?

Feel free to open a support ticket so we can see together if it makes sense, as I said it was written for some specific cases and it's not prime for broad use case.
