      No worries, it's not trivial if you don't know anything about our stack, that's why we are working on creating a more unified identity through the Vates stack/Vates virtualization, with everything included (like vSphere includes ESXi+vCenter, Vates Virtualization will include XCP-ng+XO)

            We are seeing the "Property description must be an object: undefined error also". VM has been powered off on the VMware host and no snapshots exist. We have updated to the latest release channel. ESX version 6.7. We have opened a support channel if you would like to look around.

                  @michmoor0725 If the detail is not the same as your previous message (vm.importMultipleFromEsxi), please copy/paste it to help us investigate 🙂

                      @michmoor0725 The same as the previous one then.

                      Which commit are you on?

                        xo-server 5.113.0
                        xo-web 5.116.1

                        I can PM my support ID if you need to poke around.

                          @michmoor0725 If you are using an official XOA, I think the best would be to wait for the future patch release (very very soon) and re-test after having upgraded 🙂

                            @julien-f No worries. I dont mind waiting a bit. I do know a patch was pushed by @florent a few days ago.
                            Im hoping the patches in the upcoming release fixes the imports. Right now i cant migrate anything. Not critical at this time.

                                You are correct. There is an update and im able to import from VMware. No error messages so far.
                                Taking about 40 minutes or so but i dont know if thats good or not. I selected a NFS storage thats running on mechanical disks so i suspect thats the bottleneck.

                                I will keep everyone here up to date if i run into any issues.
                                Job well done you guys/gals. Job well done

                                  @julien-f VM has been imported but the problem now is networking.
                                  The VM cannot pick up an IP regardless of what network i place it in. The eth0 interface is down. I bring it up no IP. VM is set for DHCP.
                                  I know the vlans work as thats how ive been building test VMs which are configured with a dhcp scope.

                                  For example, ive built a DMZ Host from XO. No issue.
                                  Ive imported a VM from ESXi and placed it in the DMZ vlan. No IP

                                  I took a pcap from the firewall and sure enough I dont see any DHCP Discover packets at all.

                                    disregard. I rebooted the VM a few times but the solution was to force a dhcp renew
                                    $sudo dhclient

                                          I have a legacy host running VMWare 5.1.0, when attempting to execute

                                          xo-cli --register --allowUnauthorized <host> <user>

                                          I receive the following error

                                          Would VMWare 5.1.0 be too old to transfer via Import from ?

                                            Hi,

                                            I'm not sure to understand why are you using XO CLI in the first place? Have you tried from the UI directly?
