Vmware migration to XCP-NG no longer works

msupport

Apparently there is a problem with the latest updates. I can no longer migrate VMware VMs.

After I have already migrated over 83 VMs without any problems!

Error:

vm.importMultipleFromEsxi

}

Does anyone here know more about this issue?

The problem is solved. It was a problem with the storage. Thanks for the quick support

Hi,

Can you provide more info? Are you using XOA (if yes which release channel? up to date?) or XO from the source? (which commit? and from which one it's broken?)

msupport

@olivierlambert
Respect, I have never received such a quick answer in a forum.

Our environment:
16x HPE Server DL380 Gen 10 with XCP-NG
5x HPE 3Par 8000 series storage
1x HPE MSA 2050 Storage
XOA Appliance current version: 5.94.2 - XOA build: 20240401

olivierlambert

So you are on XOA latest, which should work. Can you try to go back on "stable" release channel to compare and find if there's a regression?

@olivierlambert said in Vmware migration to XCP-NG no longer works:

I have already changed from 1.93.1 to 1.94.2 because I had this error. Both versions give the same error.

olivierlambert

Okay can you tell us more about the VMware environment? VMware version, and the type of VMware storage used?

msupport

@olivierlambert

Vmware Umgebung
10x DL380 Gen10
6x DL380 Gen 10 (with Nvidia A16)
4x HPE Full Flash Storage FC (Fiber Channel)
Vmware Enterprise Edition 7.0.3
NSX 3.2.3.1

olivierlambert

So my advice:

If you have a support subscription, open a ticket, we'll try to get more details on the error to understand what's going on
If you don't, also open a ticket and wait for Tuesday for @florent to take a look (Monday is off here)

I have opened the ticket. Ticket#7725117
Thank you very much for your support

Why not use professional virtual machine backup and migration software? That will save a lot of trouble, especially when you need to migrate so many VMs

msupport

@aurora-chase
I first migrated the VMs with the Vin Chin backup software. However, you have to manually customize each machine anyway, which is why the XAO Vmware migration worked best for me.

The problems with the XOA migration tool comes from an XCP-NG patch.

olivierlambert

@aurora-chase this behavior is not welcome here, and it's not the first time I'm seeing you doing this. You are often telling about "using professional solution instead [of Xen Orchestra]", so if you have some stakes at VEEAM or VinChin, please tell it clearly.

olivierlambert

@msupport Thanks for your ticket, we'll investigate

olivierlambert

Ah great news!! Out of curiosity, what was the problem with the storage?

msupport

@olivierlambert
There was an incorrect persona definition on the storage volume for the VinChin backup server.

@msupport Thank you for your feedback. I will feedback to Vinchin technical team to optimize our software to provide better service in the future.

@olivierlambert Sorry, I will tell it clearly next time.
