Issue when migrating VM

[julien-f]

Potential issue with vm.migrate:

Don't know how to reproduce, currently waiting for more info.

I'm getting this error at the moment. I'm attempting to migrate a VM that is running on XenServer 6.5 to XCP-ng 7.6. The VM is shutdown.

[julien-f]

Is it this exact error, with OpaqueRef:NULL?

[PipeTenMatt]

I'm seeing this error too.

Xen 6.5 host to XCP-ng 7.6 host, the VM is shut down.

same problem in my case, migrate a shutdown vm from xenserver 6.5 to xcp-ng 7.6 - any ideas how to fix it?

[PipeTenMatt]

In the end I just used the Continuous Replication option within XO.

[Jarli01]

In the end I just used the Continuous Replication option within XO.

That's not a migration though, at least not how migration is meant to work.

[PipeTenMatt]

Well no, but if a VM is offline, it doesn't matter how it's migrated over to another box right? :)

[Jarli01]

Well no, but if a VM is offline, it doesn't matter how it's migrated over to another box right? :)

I suppose, but you're essentially restoring from backup at that point. Whereas a migration takes the working VM and moves it to another host.

[olivierlambert]

Didn't see that in a while. Closing but if someone still have the issue, go ahead :)
