Biggest issue is that you have to extract the tarball, then reconstruct the raw image and then move it to the new server. If you have a multi-gigabyte tarball, this operation is very time consuming (in example, we have some 400GB VMs) With my script, the whole operation needs only the transfer time, becase I'm extracting, converting and moving to Proxmox in realtime during the download from the xenserver host. I've moved from many hours (and many, many gigabyte needed as free space) to about 45 minutes and no space needed, all is done on the fly in a single pass. But I'm planning to create a new php-version that directly talks to proxmox api and xenserver api, reading the OVA.XML file and creating the new VM on proxmox node, by reconstructing it automatically (with network interface, disks, etc etc) Something like: $ php xen2pve --host my.host --user my.user --password my.password --vm vm.uuid just to migrate a single vm in a single pass from xen to pve. _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@pve.proxmox.com https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
