Re: [Xen-API] XCP 1.6 Storage XenMotion cannot move virtual disks between local SRs

[Alexandre Kouznetsov <alk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

At first I thought that "destination-sr-uuid" parameter name 
tab-completion was some shell's issue, but "xe help vm-migrate" is quite 
specific about that option, so I don't think it was not supposed to be 
available in XCP 1.6. In any case, thank you for reference.
About "vdi:", the result is similar:
[root@xcp47 ~]# xe vm-migrate vm=DebianStorage host=xcp48 \
vdi:49e9aaa9-e86a-4c69-b4b5-8ed9cfd11470=49e9aaa9-e86a-4c69-\
b4b5-8ed9cfd11470
Error: Unknown field 'vdi:49e9aaa9-e86a-4c69-b4b5-8ed9cfd11470'

(I expect it to keep the same UUID)

I'm wondering, if I'm missing environment variables or something is 
wrong with xe's parameters parser?
Installation was done via PXE as described at 
http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/6.0.0/1.0/en_gb/installation.html#pxe_boot_install
Thank you.
