      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)?

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

            @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 🙂
