        @olivierlambert I managed to get a CentOS 7 vm imported and running. I'm now trying to import an Ubuntu vm and I get the bellow error.

            @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.

              Off:

              e074afac-65b3-42d2-b12e-6919d5380dd8-image.png

              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:

              vm.importFomEsxi
              {
                "host": "192.168.1.107",
                "user": "XXXXXXX",
                "password": "* obfuscated *",
                "sslVerify": false,
                "vm": "3",
                "sr": "d5a9a2f3-3e94-b73f-f8fd-dcefdc356804",

              }
              {
                "message": "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'current')",
                "name": "TypeError",
                "stack": "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'current')
                  at parseVmsd (file:///usr/local/lib/node_modules/xo-server/node_modules/@xen-orchestra/vmware-explorer/parsers/vmsd.mjs:48:30)

              }
              

              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

                                  @brezlord I found it : guestOS is first used as a string, and then with additionnal properties

                                  can you pull and try again ?

                                      @florent you've fixed it. The task has started. I'll report back when the import has finished. XO is saying 1 hour.

                                          @brezlord you may also try the "thin=true" option, that will take longer, but will build a thin disk, without the unallocated sectors ( the progress is , for now, only visible in the xo logs side )
