Question : Convert XenServer xva to VMware Server.

Hey Experts!
I have several *.xva exports from a server.  The XenServer no longer exists, we need to import these VMs into  a  VMware EXSi server.  I did not see a way to directly import them into vmware but i did find the XenConvert utility.  I have tried  converting them to OVF files which i believe vmware can import but i continue to get errors trying to convert.  I have 6 machines and get errors on them all.

First error i get is
"Failed to read 1048576 bytes from offset 15383658496 in XVA." the location it stops reading changes every time i run it.

Second error i sometimes get is.
OVF.TransformXvaOvf_VDI completed b012c2cd-6230-4767-aeb6-b5a659186cb7
Failed to create OVF Package.
Could not find InstanceID: Xen:b012c2cd-6230-4767-aeb6-b5a659186cb7/1a66ae04-3e3b-62ac-d47b-af8b337f835c


Does anyone have a better way of loading the xva files into a VMware server or workstation aside from setting up a XenServer again...

Answer : Convert XenServer xva to VMware Server.

If you use the same text values in both sheets, you can use a Match() to deliver the row number, just as I have demonstrated above. If you choose to use different text values in the two sheets, then you will have to manually enter the matching row numbers. How else is Excel supposed to find out which row number you want to use?

Index/Match is a working solution if the text values are the same in each sheet.

Indirect is a working solution if you manually enter the required row number.

There are two viable solutions here. I'm just not sure what your question is.
