Hi!

We have now tried changing one of the storages to VMFS5 but the issue persists. Same goes for if the VM is on NFS 4.1.

I've managed to get some logs from the ESXi host, hoping any of them will be of use. Like before I've replaced IP:s and VLAN names.

Like the other guy said, anything we can do to help please let us know. If that means access, testing, moving to any of the paid plans, we just want this working.

No snapshots, issue even comes up if we create a brand new server from scratch.

Also tried updating to latest commit but made no difference.

Offline migration works like a charm and it finds the files as expected, but it would be great if we could get warm migration working. Those 7 weeks until April 30th feel very short right now.

Hi!

Thanks for quick reply!

As stated in orginal post, the issue comes regardless if we're connecting to VCenter or straight to the ESXi host(s), the sample error just happened to be from one of the attempts to the vcenter server.

The machines are licensed with vSphere 8 Enterprise Plus via VSPP.

We've also attempted from free versions of ESXi 7 and ESXi8, but like you said, it's not working from free license versions since they lack some features such as power down vm.

Attaching log from attempt when connecting straight to an ESXi-host.

Hi!

We're having issues migrating from ESXi 8.0.2 getting the following error:

Can't import delta of a running VM without its parent vdi

We're using XO built from sources, latest commit. We also tried using XOA and this instead gave the following error:

Cannot destructure property 'vdi' of 'vhds[userdevice]' as it is undefined.

The migration tool just throws the error and then shuts down the target VM on the ESXi host.

We've tried the following things:

• Migrate to local storage
• Migrate to NFS storage
• Move VM:s to a different storage in ESXi (Local, NFS and FC-connected SAN)
• VM:s created from template and fresh installs
• VM:s with and without VMWare Tools installed
• VM:s with varying levels of "Hardware compatibility"
• Connecting the migration tool to vcenter
• Connecting the migration tool to esxi host

We need to be able to do warm migrations as we have a bunch of customer servers that "can't" be shutdown for any extended period of time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If it helps I've attached a copy of the full error log from XO.
