      Sadly, you'll need Python 2. I'll be happy if the community around could make it updated for Python 3 🙂

        Hi @olivierlambert ,
        I worked on the P3 Script. at this time, I getting to the stage where the script returns
        VM Details:
        Name: justanothername
        Type: Paravirtualised
        VCPUS: 4
        Memory(bytes): 2147483648

        APIC: true

        Viridian: true
        Disk xvda(Bootable): /dev/vgxen/justanothername
        Connecting to target xxx.xxx.145.157

        Processing disk /dev/vgxen/justanothername(21474836480 bytes)
        Internal Error. Possible problem: Please make sure you have enough space on your default SR

        While this is an issue which is announced on the link you send, I check via xoa and xcp-ng center. We have set a default SR. may I ask your help to proceed?

          Hmm it's probably not processing correctly the SR size on destination?

            @olivierlambert Can we just stream it like fire and forget as long it can identify the default SR?

              @josef1909 I just need to go ahead to check if the script will send more issues I need to work on.

                  Hi, I just wanted to check-in if someone was so kind and had a look.
                  Cheers,
                  Josef

                    Hi!

                    We are pretty busy here (at Vates) about 8.2.1 new ISO and 8.3 release. We'll be happy that anyone around in the community is able to assist!

                      @olivierlambert understand.
                      Please let me know if I can help trigger people to support on that.
                      It seems that this topic has already a little dust on it - so I am happy to collabortate.

                      In the meantime, I made some Tests and will provide the last lines from the debugging.

                            I understand that there is a big GoLive on your side.
                            Do we have alternative suggestions to migrate from xen to xcp-ng?

                              The other alternative, if a bit cumbersome, is to use Clonezilla, like a P2V situation 🙂

                                I also worked on trying to update the script to python3 last week and hadn't realised you had this work here so was starting from scratch.

                                I am not a python developer so when I got to errors in the section that is actually streaming the files I decided to stop and just finish 'making' python2.7 on the servers that I need to get the VMs off and that has worked for me.

                                It doesn't seem like it should be a huge amount of work left to upgrade the script to python3 but probably not something I have the skills or time for right now.

                                Thanks for sharing your efforts here. What have you ended up doing @josef1909

                                  Thanks for re-pinging. This might be a "simple" mission to finance to a Python specialist. Let me add @AtaxyaNetwork in the loop.
