      @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:

        Files:
        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",
          "network": "557d6a0f-ff4c-7692-b342-0671c0a8385b"
        }
        {
          "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)
            at Esxi.getTransferableVmMetadata (file:///usr/local/lib/node_modules/xo-server/node_modules/@xen-orchestra/vmware-explorer/esxi.mjs:250:23)

            at Xo.importFomEsxi (file:///usr/local/lib/node_modules/xo-server/src/api/vm.mjs:1304:10)
            at Api.#callApiMethod (file:///usr/local/lib/node_modules/xo-server/src/xo-mixins/api.mjs:394:20)"
        }
        

        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 )

                                      @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.
