Hi guys,
I hope you’re doing well. I have been trying to Import the OVA image of CHR v7.x and CHR v6.49.7 in my XCP-NG servers, but every time I receive a message saying “Failed to Import”. Any idea what could be causing this? I can import images from any image but Mikrotik’s CHR. I also tried with VMDK and VMDK image with the same problem
Thanks,
This was originally used on XCP-ng Center, If you are using Xen Orchestra it will be similar.
Create New VM on XCP-ng host
Select “other install media”
Select any ISO to continue (It will not be used)
Set desired CPU, Disk, Memory parameters
Make note of what you name the virtual disk as you will need it in a later step
Uncheck “Start the new VM automatically”
Click “Create Now”
Log into the XCP-ng host server
wget “https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/7.8/chr-7.8.img.zip”
unzip chr*
xe vdi-list name-label=whatever-you-named-vm-disk
Copy the UUID of vm’s VDI obtained from the step above and use in the step below
xe vdi-import uuid=UUID-From-Above filename=chr*.img
Boot VM and eject ISO

but when I’m importing OVA 6.49.1 as a new VM

Satskiy, merged your posts from two topics into one. Please, do not start unnecessary topics if they describe same problem.
hi @BartoszP
i noticed that post
but my one is not about I cant import image
my one is about that imported VM on Milkrotik v6 has no Guest agent
I’m curious how to get XCP-NG Guest Tools on RouterOS CHR.
Ah, I see it’s included when using the OVA import. I mistakenly set up
my CHR instances using RAW disk image.
I will try migrating to the OVA template method.
