@Mathieu said in Problem importing ANY ESXi VMDK into Xen Orchestra CE:
Just experienced the same issue with a few VMs I imported from VMware.
I think it's a Windows issue, from what I can tell.
The network adapter type changes after the import in xcp-ng (from VMXNet to XenServer PV), that's normal.
Windows do not allow the same IP address to be used automatically for a different type of network adapter, so that's why it reverts to DHCP with the new adapter.
You can see that by setting the previous static IP address in the new adapter, it will warn you that the address was used with a previous adapter and asks for confirmation.

No idea if there's a way to avoid that.
Yeah same, we're also using VMXNET.
When trying to do this manually there's a popup which you have to accept to "force" having the same IP on multiple interfaces. Im sure the IP's are save in registry so deleting the post as part of the process would probably resolve it.
