Importing a machine from VMware to xenServer

  • 772

I've exported my VM from VMWare and tried importing it into XenServer (xcp-ng 7.6) XenConvert 2.1.1 but I always get this error:

  1. Note that to do something like that, your XenServer should be configured with a default storage repository (SR). You can do that using the xe command.

    Another similar issue may be encountered if your Default Storage is full, case in which you need to change it.

    If that part is fine and import is still now working, do the following:

    • Delete the existing transfer VM template

    • Open a command line console to the Master

    • CD to location /opt/xensource/packages/files/transfer-vm

    • Import the transfer VM using the xe vm-import filename=transfer-vm.xva

    • Initiate the import of the OVF file
