Hi All,
I am not clear of the process required here.
I have a Windows Server VM with a 6TB attached RDM LUN
Do i need to detach it in VMware, migrate the VM, then re-attach somehow in XO?
Thanks in advance,
Murf.

RE: Problem importing ANY ESXi VMDK into Xen Orchestra CE
@florent the thing is I am looking for a seamless migration workflow from VMware.. not a manual VM per VM migration. (unless v2v has this also?)

RE: Problem importing ANY ESXi VMDK into Xen Orchestra CE
@Danp no need really, they are just set to DHCP instead of the static settings we had, as if I had added a new interface altogether

RE: Problem importing ANY ESXi VMDK into Xen Orchestra CE
@Danp Yes the import process. I think it is because we are using VMXNET 3 interfaces, not E1000 (which caused us horrible problems over the years)

RE: Problem importing ANY ESXi VMDK into Xen Orchestra CE
@Danp When I migrate Windows Server VMs the network interface does not have the settings anymore and I have to reconfigure them manually, is this expected behavior?

RE: Problem importing ANY ESXi VMDK into Xen Orchestra CE
@Danp updated to Xen Orchestra, commit f7223 and still the same issue.
I have inspected the UI console, in case this helps

@Danp thanks I will update, and yeah, that was a tongue-in-cheek poke at the previous topic of " Problem with importing large VMDK disks"

Problem importing ANY ESXi VMDK into Xen Orchestra CE
Hi all, I just get a spinning wheel when importing a 20MB VMDK
I am using Xen Orchestra, commit eedac
I would upload the VMDK but it has sensitive host name info in the name and metadata sorry. I could change it but that would just be introducing something else to potentially cause issues, however I can describe how I created it- Edit a VM in vCenter and add a new 20MB drive, thin provisioned
- In the Windows Server 2022 VM enable the new drive and initialise/format it
- Copy the XenServer tools exe to the drive from within the VM
- unmount the drive
- Download the drive from the datastore through vCenter UI, this creates a zip file
- Extract the zipfile
- drag the VMDK/s to the XO Import UI
Thanks in advance
