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

Import VM From VMware - A Few Issues (Lnx Boot Issue, No IP in Lnx, CD ROM Eject Error)
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:
- 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?
- 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".
- I then try to eject the ISO and receive an error like "<some character string>/vbd.xvdd does not exist in xenopsd."
- 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! -
RE: XO Pool Management
@lawrencesystems @olivierlambert
Thought I'd provide an update here...only fairAfter 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!
