VM's from ESXi, live migration not possible
-
@olivierlambert The problem with fully installing the tools is our antivirus solution SentinelOne. Simply pausing the agent + reboot gave the XenTools the possibility to install succesfully. After a succesfull installation, enabling the SentinelOne agent again is possible without any other issues regarding the tools or drivers.

Oh great news then!!!
So now you can live migrate and such, right?
-
@olivierlambert Yes! Live migration is now available and working. Which is great!
-
Excellent news! Thank you very much for the feedback, it might be helpful for others
Enjoy XCP-ng and XO!

Thank you for that find, I was in the same boat.

Oh wow, I couldn't think it would have been helpful that fast!! I think I might update our documentation page about Windows tools and this issue.

Yes, take a look at ticket #7723929. There is also something about shrinking a Windows partition using Linux tools and avoid data loss that could be added to the doc.
