Hi
Thanks for the help - found the icon Add Host (after a lot of searching )

No joy is to say that the VM doesnt get imported and I dont really get an error - I go to the tasks and dont see more than in the previous post.

However, I've just upgraded to the latest xen-orchestra docker image, xo-server 5.120.2 & xo-web 5.122.2 (xcp-ng is 8.3 beta) and it seems to be working better, at least via xe vm-import

Great product anyway, will keep on using it

@olivierlambert thanks - I've tried via XO and import vm but no joy - is that the correct method ?
I seem to get better results with cli: xe vm-import filename=xe vm-import filename=...

but not all my vms are succesful this way

xcp-ng	VDI.destroy (on xcp-ng)	08:57:49 AM
xcp-ng	VM.import (cleanup) (on xcp-ng)	08:57:49 AM
xcp-ng	[XO] VM import (on xcp-ng)	08:57:49 AM
xcp-ng	VBD.unplug (on xcp-ng)	08:57:48 AM
xcp-ng	VBD.plug (on xcp-ng)	08:51:51 AM
xcp-ng	VDI.create (on xcp-ng)	08:51:50 AM

pretty puzzled here as I cant find a lot around restoring (a lot about backups though).
The server running my xcp-ng lab instance has died. Drive are ok, and I had some backups done. However, I cant see to restore them
I have few directories with data like:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 1026 users       22312 Mar 31  2021 20210331T190930Z.json
-rwxrwxrwx 1 1026 users 12005985792 Mar 31  2021 20210331T190930Z.xva
-rwxrwxrwx 1 1026 users          36 Mar 31  2021 20210331T190930Z.xva.checksum

When I try to import the xva file (import / vm), the task fails with no clear log info.
I also have files: VMv2.compressed.xen that I created a while ago, not sure how.

Any hints as how to use these files ?

Thanks,

Hi
I had been using XenServer for a few years and just upgraded a couple of servers to xcp-ng 8.1. I must tell that the upgrade from XS 8.1 to XCP-NG was REALLY easy and went very well

I thus upgraded an older server, fresh install this time. I now would want to create a cluster, on which VM's would be able to move back & forth. I believe this is what pools are for.

But I cant seem to see how to do that.... I've looked at the documentation with no success !

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

J.
