Hi there

I am steadily migrating VMs from exsi to xcp-ng.

I am using clonezilla destination to source and it could not be easer or quicker. So far so good.

However, I also migrated bare metal server (ubuntu 18). Initially on reboot the vm just showed a Hard disk found message.. so i switched from bios to uefi and it booted immediately. However, the console text is unreadable.

I have seen a few discussions around this related to the template settings. I have tested ubuntu 18 and 20 template but both have the same effect.

I cant edit any pre-boot options as nothing can be read..

The VM is running just fine.. but one day I am going to need to use that console. ..

Any ideas?

@olivierlambert spoke too soon.. CR works in one direction but not the other

@olivierlambert actually.. just tried CR again... and this time it is working.. will test with a few more vms.

@Gheppy Yes.. putting that in place seemed to fix DR.. but not CR.

@Gheppy weird.. DR is now working for me but CR is still never ending

Hi there

I am testing DR and continuous replication.

It all seems straight forward. Select vm runnning on host1... point the backup to local storage on host2 .. press play

The backups start.. there is 30gb of network activity.. the vm and disk is visible at host 2 but the backup never completes and new backups cant start as they are not finished.

Error: the job (23857c52-0987-4eba-9b90-bd4fbb5d3a7c) is already running

Where do I look to find the reason?

@florent What is the location of the logs?

@florent Yes, esxi is just fine. All running VMs are happy. I have pulled one more off this server after the failed attempt. Have tried about 6 times .. same result.. VM appears.. process completes after a few seconds.. no disk appears

The disc config seems very boring and normal.

new issue.. I am trying to pull a vm (powered off) from a server I have already pulled 3 vms from (no problems)

However, this time it takes a few seconds before the command ends.

I can see the vm however, no disk is pulled over at all.

no obvious errors in logs.

@olivierlambert ah I see.. other than that!! it works.. Just like magic!! v cool

@olivierlambert said in VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!:

XO from the sources

XO from github (2 days old)

esxi .. 7.0.0 (Build 16324942)

Total noob here jumping in at the deep end.

I get
