@astrugatch At this point, I'd submit your ova to the Vates team as they requested to have them look inside it to verify you're exporting what is needed to be able to import into XO

@olivierlambert I'll ask for an update in the Forums post and see what they say...

@olivierlambert Ok, will do. Thanks!

I used the XO "Import From VMware" tool. I performed this on 3 VMs with no issues encountered during import. But, post-import, there are some as noted in the following:

1. On 2 Ubuntu VMs, v22.04 and v24.04, I am unable to boot the VM after import because XO assigns the VMs the "secure boot" option. The VMs are not configured for Secure Boot in VMware. I disable this option in VM > Adv tab, reboot and it then boots ok, but this is an issue which should be addressed. Maybe it's only for UEFI-based VMs?
2. When attempting to install Guest Tools via ISO. I can attach the ISO to the VM, but when I run the "sudo mount /dev/cdrom" cmd, it states "special device /dev/cdrom does not exist".
3. I then try to eject the ISO and receive an error like "<some character string>/vbd.xvdd does not exist in xenopsd."
4. The NIC of these imported Linux VMs is down after import...not sure why. I place it "up", but even so...they do not receive an IP address. I imported a Windows 2022 server and it did get an IP address, but it also has the eject ISO error as well.

Any thoughts on how to resolve these issues. If I choose to migrate from VMware,, this would be a huge deterrent to doing so.
Thanks!

@lawrencesystems @olivierlambert
Thought I'd provide an update here...only fair

After getting everything running again, I was able to add 2 physical XCP Hosts to XO and get things going -> create a Pool; create some VMs; test Live Migration (not VDI-based yet); import from VMW (an issue there with Linux); but overall...able to dive into it a bit deeper and see how things in XCP/XO work vs VMW. So far, after getting through my initial issues...I think it's ok

I think my Host2 network issue may have stemmed from attempting to add it back into XO when I was no longer seeing it in the Settings > Servers area after adding it to a Pool. I wasn't aware it would disappear from that area when adding it to a Pool. I don't think the documentation states this (unless I overlooked it? if not, would be helpful I think). Anyway...thanks to all for chiming in!

@lsouai-vates Great! Thanks for addressing this

@ph7 Ah, ok

@ph7 where are you seeing secure boot in XO-Lite? I don't even have that option After creating a VM in XO-Lite, I see boot settings and Secure Boot is shown as Disabled

@olivierlambert Thank you for looking into it Olivier; and...not that you all have extra time on your hands... ...but if you could enable being able to configure Host networking in XO-Lite, I think that would be a semi-urgent feature to release as well. Thanks.

@Greg_E Ah, ok..yeah...guess I did
Yep, agree. Really needs more functions...like networking (and elsewhere) ha

@Greg_E Ah ok; yeah...to keep the posts 'clean' on here, I think that would be best...if you can find yours?

@olivierlambert - I just removed my UEFI-based VM and created BIOS-based one. It booted right up to the ISO. So it appears lack of functionality with UEFI booting to ISO. Not sure if that's a function of UEFI in general, or lack of feature set of XO-Lite. Well, may be both. Would be nice to have that boot order feature in XO-Lite, like in XO, which should take care of the issue with UEFI booting to ISO.

@olivierlambert Greg, in my other forums post, confirmed this lack of functionality as well.

@olivierlambert There is nowhere in XO-Lite to be able to change the boot order. That is the issue. Lack of functionality for that.

@Greg_E XO-Lite is pretty slick I must say. Would like it to be a bit...mmm....more navigation friendly maybe? Same with XO. But, I like it. Just needs more functions of course
