      I would recommend switching to the "latest" release channel in XOA since it will contain the latest fixes to the V2V process. Also, make sure the VM has at least one snapshot. If you still encounter problems afterwards, then be sure to post the full error log.

        @Danp Thanks for the quick response

        I have changed to the latest channel and am now on 5.93.1

        The VM I am trying to import is shutdown

        The successful imports of the Linux VM's were so quick I can do the same with the Windows boxes once its working - this can be done over a weekend so that time is not too critical

        I have started the VM and created a snapshot then shut it down again but still get the same results

        the detailed message is

        vm.importMultipleFromEsxi

        Any suggestions gratefully received

        Dave

          @parsedave Can you share the .vmx file here for @florent to review? I've not seen this error before, but it appears to be related to CBT from VMWare.

            Happy to try anything you need me to

            Not sure where you are - I'm in the UK but can be around for at least another hour. I will be around over the weekend but not always at my desk so responses may be a little slower

            Thanks for your help so far

            Dave

Thanks for your report

                @florent Thanks
                I don't seem to be able to login to XOA console - I have never done this so don't believe I have set a password for this which I believe will be different to the web UI username and password.

                I am assuming I need to login to the console to pull the change you have made but this may be integrated in to master soon so I don't need to do this to retrieve the change. Do you know when this may be done so I can just update orchestra from the web UI

                Thanks
                Dave

                  @parsedave To set the SSH password, follow these instructions in our documentation.

                  If you want to test the pending fix, you need to deploy a separate instance of XO from sources. Otherwise, just wait for it to be officially released in XOA.
