There are a few requirements for the import from VMWare process to work correctly --

• Be sure to connect directly to the ESXi server, not vCenter
• The VM should be stopped prior to import when using ESXi versions newer than v6.5
• The VM needs to have at least one snapshot
• The use of vSAN is not currently supported

The dev team is constantly improving this process, so some of these requirement may be changing soon. Also, you may want to switch to the Latest release channel since that will include the most recent improvements to the V2V process.

Excellent news! Thank you very much for the feedback, it might be helpful for others

Enjoy XCP-ng and XO!

Oh great news then!!!

So now you can live migrate and such, right?

We will likely not use VHD anymore in SMAPIv3 (there's no point), so yes, if/when we decide to make an ext4 driver, it will store other files format (like maybe qcow2)
