[BETA] [HPE VME] Beta testing discussion

[JaySt]

Just for the beta, let's do a single topic. Less friction to post and share experience. Less topic clutter for this forum as well.
Looking forward to this!

Actually let's rather not do that, as single topic only ever works for feedback that does not require any follow up i.e. positive feedback.

But it's completely unmanageable as soon as there are multiple different questions, feature requests and/or issues that need to be discussed in parallel, resulting in the worst clutter ever. Source: almost 20 years of running this community

my source is the VHR ISO topic. Worked fine?
it actually results in more engagement imho.
Coming here and reading up on issues or experiences is also easier when do so by browsing a topic compared to different topics.
Post-beta is a different cookie offcourse.

Classic survivorship bias the fine end result you see now is actually the result of continuous separation of every other post into a dedicated topic by the PMs. Not a very useful thing to continuously spend our time on.

Ok - lets kick it off. I built an new VBR server yesterday on 2025, installed the latest 13.0.1 (with my NFR Ent+ license), and restored my configuration backup. Last night's backup relatively worked (there were issues, but they were self inflicted during replication due to disk size changes and stuff). This morning I installed the VME plugin, rebooted, and my only options for adding servers are still VMware or Hyper-V. This probably is not a VME specific plug in issue.

VMs migrated from VMware using the native VME migration tool. Not being support / not working is a pretty major issue as I converted one customer site last week in this manner. Any hope of work around or fix for this?

@JaySt told ya! The very first entry shows why this would not work.

All, please create a separate topic for each individual technical issue, otherwise this won't be manageable. Ideally please use [BETA] [HPE] tags in the topic name.
