I was running a Server 2019 on Xen. I restarted it and now it's been stuck in this infinite boot loop and it won't get past the loading screen with the Windows logo. It just goes to that, restarts again and then repeats. I can't figure out what could have caused it. Everything was working fine prior to that and I only restarted it. It wasn't even a hard reset directly from Xen either, I was remotely connected to that VM and restarted using that.

There's nothing generated in the logs either. Just that VM_STARTED and that's it.

@olivierlambert No, nothing is generated in the logs. The VMs just shut down after a while. Normally, a message pops up as well asking for a reason why Server 2016 was shut down but not in this case.

@ilix I apologize for the late reply on this but if you could help me out with one more thing. We have about 50VMs on Proxmox that need to be migrated to XCP-NG. Using clonezilla will be too long of a task and I'm not sure if it'll save the config files for all the settings either. I was wondering if there's any other way I can move the VMs to XCP-NG. I do have the RAW disk images.

@ilix Yes I'm running a lot of VMs in Proxmox, one of which I need to migrate to XCP-NG.

@ilix Thanks for your reply. I am using local storage. I saved the backup in the local storage and then got the backup file using WinSCP.
If I use these two tools, will I need to work with the backup files? Because XCP-NG only allows OVA/OVF formats when I try and import any VM

Hi. I'm a beginner in the world of VMs and virtualization and still learning the ropes. I wanted to know how I'd go about exporting a Windows Server VM on Proxmox and importing it to XCP-NG. I've saved the backup of the said Windows VM on Proxmox however, I need it in OVA/OVF format for XCP-NG for it to be imported.
I'd really appreciate help and will be very grateful if you could perhaps explain things a little more in the process.
