Import from VMware, thin provisioning

[Mathieu]

Hello,

Shouldn't I have an option called Thin mode on the Import from VMware page?
I don't see it anymore (XO from source, latest commit dcdf2, it's the same with XOA latest).

Thanks!

@Mathieu How have you configured the host(s)?

[Mathieu]

@DustinB You mean the storage for the Xcp-ng hosts?
It's thin provisioned either on a local storage or a NFS SR.

[DustinB]

@Mathieu correct, yes. On XOA as well there isn't an option for thin, though I doubt it matters. As the underlying storage for the XCP-ng host is going to be what is granted to the VM once its moved over.

Worthy note: power off the VM's unless you have the higher tier licensing of ESXi (or the migration will fail).

Now it's thin 100% of the time
