VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!

@florent it's esxi 7 and yes XO is in the same sub net and can ping the esxi server

florent

@brezlord before using xo-cli to connect to the esxi, you must connect xo-cli to your installation

with xo-cli --register <url of your xo> <login> and it will sk for the password

brezlord

@florent said in VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!:

xo-cli --register

I get the following error when regisering.

root@xoa:~# xo-cli --register xoa.corp.com 'admin@corp.com'
Password: ************

@brezlord is your xo in http or https ?

brezlord

@florent https

olivierlambert

If you don't have valid certificates, you need to add --allowUnauthorized in the registration command.

@olivierlambert said in VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!:

--allowUnauthorized

thanks that did it.

olivierlambert

Okay, keep us posted on the VMware migration tool then

olivierlambert

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

brezlord

@olivierlambert yes vmware

olivierlambert

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

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

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

brezlord

@olivierlambert thanks heaps. Now I get the following error.
