Trying to get it as an OVA using the OVF tool directly out of VCenter. I will see how it goes. Downloading the OVA now.

I bundled the cert and it is working as expected now.

Thanks!

I love the new SSH links in the console windows. Would it be possible to have an RDP link generated for Windows machines? I don't know if there is a way to detect if RDP is enabled, but a fat client link would definitely be helpful. Especially when working on a tablet (which the SSH links make immeasurably better now)

I managed to get line of sight between the two hosts and when I enter my VMWare credentials I can see all the VMs and select one to import, but when I go to import I get the error:

no opaque ref found in  undefined

in XO

@coolsport00

Yes to both.

@coolsport00

Same error when importing to XO.

No description available.

In Xen Orchestra it is looking for an OVA and doesn't take an OVF.

My process so far was:

• export template inside VCenter (OVF and Disk image)
• Convert OVF+Disk to OVA with OVF Tool
• Import OVA to XO.

Switching out step two to an import and export in VirtualBox worked, but obviously not our preferred option.

@dfrizon
Did you just rerun the VMWareOVF tool and re-create the OVA? Did you need to modify the command at all?

I'm just running

OVFTool "Source.ovf" "Destination.ova"

Is there any option that needs to be added to the command or did the first run just not work properly?

Unfortunately we aren't on a paid plan (though that is definitely in our future plans). I was able to sort out the CD drive so I should be good to move forward with our migration even if we have to have virtual box as a middleman. It's only a handful of VMs anyway so this shouldn't be a big lift.

Thanks!

Hi Oliver, thanks for your reply.

I can't go the V2V route as our XenOrchestra doesn't have line of sight on our VMWare instance so the move needs to be offline.

Where would I look for the description in the OVF file? I'm not sure where it's supposed to be so I can't see where it would be missing.

I was able to bring the OVF into VirtualBox and export an OVA from there and that landed in XO / XCP without issue, but the VM keeps coming up as not having a completely installed.

Hi Everyone,

We are in the process of moving some VMs from VMWare to XCP-ng. I've downloaded a test VM from our VMWare instance, used the OVF tool to convert it to OVA, but I'm getting the error "No Description Available" when trying to import. How would I go about fixing the OVA to be importable.

Thanks!
