@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

@florent I have rebuilt from source and I get the following errors. The host is running VMware ESXi, 7.0.3, 20328353

@florent I'm ready to test when you have something, thanks.

I edited your post to get the right "code" display (you need to have the three
```
on a new line) -
@olivierlambert thank and dually noted.
-
@brezlord I found it :
guestOS
is first used as a string, and then with additionnal propertiescan you pull and try again ?
-
@florent ok give me 10 to rebuild and report back.
-
@florent you've fixed it. The task has started. I'll report back when the import has finished. XO is saying 1 hour.
-
\o/
Now:
-
@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 )
-
@florent I'll give it a go once this import has finished and report back.
-
@florent The import was successful, the VM is up and running. I will try another the "thin=true" option.
-
@brezlord said in VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!:

yeah
thank you for your patience -
\o/
-
@florent thank you for you work.
-
@florent Great news. I'm looking forward to testing when it has been pushed to the vmware channel.

This will land on XOA
