Good day, we also have a problem that we can't export to OVA from the CXP-ng centre. When we try to start export it simply says immediately: "Export failed". We are using v 20.04.01 (server version 8.2)
In the log files we see errors that looks like there is an issue with the transport VM. (Please see logs attached and also copied in below.) xcpnglogs_failed_ova_export.txt
In XenOrchestra, it only gives the option to export as XVA, which will not work - we need an OVA to import the VM into another vmware solution. We are using XO version: xo-server 5.80.0.
Any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks.
