      @olivierlambert both VM's were in a halted state, but didn't want to initiate the migration until I made a snapshot.
      So it is really an AND statement, until phase 3 is rolled out šŸ™‚

        @fmarais007 Hi, it should have worked with a halted VM

        would you be able to get the full error message ? It will help us improve the process

            @fmarais007 I can reproduce this, it's the snapshot code that fails when there is no snapshot
            I will work on it and update the branch when fixed

            thank you

              I feel really dumb. The blog says all you need to do is build from the vmware branch - but I cannot find the vmware branch. I'm probably looking in the wrong place. My assumption is it should be a branch of the xen-orchestra repo on github, but I cannot see it.

                @florent did you create the branch as requested? Same question for the release channel, I didn't test myself

                  @SheffSix my bad, I publichsed the branch with the wrong name

                  the PR is here https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/6595 with the branch name vmware and it contains fix of the bug detected by @fmarais007

                  Edit: fixed link and branch name

                  fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

                  closed feat(xo-server): import VM from esxi #6595

                    Hi, very excited by this migration tool, as after much faffing about with Vmware converter I found that my VMs were quite impractical to import do to the size fo the OVA files, so I have built XO with the vmware branch but the xo-cli command does not give me the vm.importFomEsxi / vm.importFromEsxi command.

                    Perhaps I am being a muppet? My xo-cli is v0.14.2

                    I have also tried checking out the the vmware PR #6595 which is 18 commits ahead.

                    Running xo-cli system.getServerVersion I seem to be way ahead on 5.107.5

                    Keen to test this important feature out, but a little confused as to how to get the correct version of xo-cli and XO to test it.

                      Are you using the xo-cli binary built from XO folder?

                        @alexredston nice catch, the methods weren't listed in list-command, it's fixed on the vmware branch

                        Regards

                          Hi guys, thank you both for your helpful and very prompt responses. I am just running a build with the latest vmware source and will report back.

                          Had hoped to do it over Christmas but it was really busy for us with many colleagues away.

                              @alexredston How do we get the "vmware branch" so that we can execute importFomEsxi? I also just used 0.14.2 and have the same problem.

                                @ysageev if you are using XO from the sources, you should know how to change a branch on Git šŸ˜‰
                                If you are on XOA, it's just typing vmware in the custom release channel.

                                    hi,

                                    are you sure the XO server can access this ip ? is there an esxi 6 / 7 running there ?

                                    regards

                                        @brezlord before using xo-cli to connect to the esxi, you must connect xo-cli to your installation

                                        with xo-cli --register <url of your xo> <login> and it will sk for the password
