I'm running the latest build form source and from the vmware branch but I cant get the import from ESXi to XCP-ng working, below is the error.

root@xoa:~# xo-cli vm.importFromEsxi host=192.168.40.203 user='root' password='password' sslVerify=false vm=11 sr=648548b5-a789-6c72-2518-407a12717fad network=b71bcce1-0d59-0c13-7ca9-f28e24982355

Any help would be appreciated.

192.168.40.203

hi,

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

regards

brezlord

@florent it's esxi 7 and yes XO is in the same sub net and can ping the esxi server

florent

@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

brezlord

@florent said in VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!:

xo-cli --register

I get the following error when regisering.

root@xoa:~# xo-cli --register xoa.corp.com 'admin@corp.com'
Password: ************

florent

@brezlord is your xo in http or https ?

brezlord

@florent https

If you don't have valid certificates, you need to add --allowUnauthorized in the registration command.

--allowUnauthorized

thanks that did it.

olivierlambert

Okay, keep us posted on the VMware migration tool then

brezlord

@olivierlambert what i the esxi vm ID that xo is looking for. I get the below error now.

olivierlambert

Have you switched to the right branch, as explained in the first post?

brezlord

@olivierlambert yes vmware

olivierlambert

Ah, there's a typo in the command name, I fixed it in our doc, thinking it was just a typo from the example

vm.importFomEsxi is the "right" command. @florent will fix this

FYI: xo-cli list-commands will display all the commands, that's how I found out.

brezlord

@olivierlambert thanks heaps. Now I get the following error.

my bad, I pushed the branch, with a lot of fixes , and prelminary work for the delta on esxi 7 ( not working for now )

brezlord

@olivierlambert will do, thanks.

brezlord

Thank you both for your help.
