<![CDATA[Live migration from VMware not working, only when I power off the VM]]>Hi All.
I definitely had this working in our POC, but now I am using it in anger I cant seem to get this to work without powering down the VM in vCenter first;
The VM gets created in XO, but it happens instantly and there is no storage migration.
Any clues much appreciated please!

Cold migration will be fine for the time being anyway

Depending on your type of datastore, it is possible that you need to perform a cold migration where the VM is shutdown prior to attempting the V2V process. Also, the creation of a snapshot is a requirement unless you are migrating from a VSAN.
