I watched the whole video, Exported OVA from XCP-NG for my .ova file, I did change some of the steps as I wanted my vm on another drive, and it showed I could use format other than raw, so I did not use the --format yet it still converted the drive to RAW, also all my memory and CPU entered were correct. Vm stared and works no issues. I got lucky! Well not just luck, good teaching. Thanks!

I noticed that your VM didn't have a network card installed. I need my VMs to be network reachable for my ethical hacking class.
How does your VM connect to the network without a network interface?

Great tutorial. I run into the following issue

warning: unable to parse the VM name in this OVF manifest, generating a default value
invalid host ressource /disk/vmdisk1, skipping
invalid host ressource /disk/vmdisk2, skipping
{
"disks" : [],
"qm" : {
"cores" : "4",
"memory" : "8192"
}
}

What coul be the problem?

why doesn't it support importing OVA directly from GUI interface like in ESXI, this is very cumbersome...
