        Have you switched to the right branch, as explained in the first post?

            Ah, there's a typo in the command name, I fixed it in our doc, thinking it was just a typo from the example šŸ˜†

            vm.importFomEsxi is the "right" command. @florent will fix this šŸ˜‰

            FYI: xo-cli list-commands will display all the commands, that's how I found out.

                    my bad, I pushed the branch, with a lot of fixes , and prelminary work for the delta on esxi 7 ( not working for now )

                                @brezlord The real error messages are hidden, I will try to fix it

                                @ysageev does the VM has snapshots ? is it running ?

                                  @florent It is off, no snapshots.

                                  I also disabled Change Block Tracking and deleted the ctk file.

                                  If it helps, I'm using ESXi-6.7.0-20190802001-standard and the VM is a 10GB old CentOS.

                                  Update: On the server side, the error looks like this:

                                  It looks like the presence/dependency of the VMSD file and the tool's attempt to process it has something to do with the problem.

                                  Update: The .vmsd file is empty.

                                    @ysageev I'm running across the same error when trying to do some imports, for testing I deleted the vmsd file (didn't think that would do anything at all) and got an error about not being able to find the VM (which is what I thought would happen), re-added the vmsd but still getting this "cannot read properties of undefined" error.

                                    I also tried with a different VM, this time a Windows one (was Ubuntu on the first try) and get a slightly different error:

                                    Cannot convert undefined or null to object

                                      @brezlord have you got a more detailed error on the xo logs side ?

                                      @planedrop I pushed a little fix to ensure it does not crash when vmsd file is missing or empty
