Failure while import VM from export domain

Hi oVirt list, I'm planing to migrate my oVirt installation on a new HW. My current platform is running a 4.2.8. The new one a 4.3.5. I'm currently trying to import the VMs through the export domain. But some of my old VMs are failing. Which log file would be interesting to check? Also maybe there is a better way to copy more less all VMs from my current oVirt to the new one. Best regards Christoph

vdsm log should help

Yes, detach the domain from old setup, attach to new setup, and import all the vms. This works when you want to move all vms in a storage domain. If you want to keep some vms in the old setup you can move them to another storage domain before detaching the domain. Nir

Hi Nir, thank you for the feedback. I will try to do that. Regarding the import error it looks like that I have very old VMs where the disk type in the meta file is not the same as in the DB. Best regards Christoph Am 07.09.19 um 17:30 schrieb Nir Soffer:
