[Xen-users] Pipe vm-export to vm-import is there a solution?
Hi, I''m currently runing two citrix xen server 4.0.1. I read that it was possible to export to standard out and import from standard in. This was the solution provided on the forums # xe vm-export vm=test.vm filename= | ssh xen2 "xe vm-import filename=/dev/stdin" it returns immediately with Operation failed. Error: No such file or directory: open, . and then prompts for the ssh password Is this unsupported in the version of xen I am running? Is there some information I can gather to really determine whether it is supported or not? Assuming it is supported in a newer version; Could I upgrade my tools to that version without upgrading my kernels? In an attempt to get around this problem I tried this #mkfifo /etc/xenexport # xe vm-export vm=test.vm filename=/etc/xenexport; cat /etc/xenexport | ssh xen2 "xe vm-import filename=/dev/stdin" This returned a different error at least. Operation failed. Error: File exists: open, /etc/xenexport. Has anyone wrestled with this before? Thank you. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
