Yep the snapshots solved it. And I was even able to import the VMs while they're still running so that was a bonus. Thanks for your help @Danp

RE: VMware migration tool not bringing disks
@Danp Hi Dan, thanks for the reply. My apologies, i wasn't aware of the snapshot requitements, that would explain it. Done for the day now but I'll try tomorrow - i suspect it'll work though

RE: VMware migration tool not bringing disks
@Danp Thanks for the reply! Both VMs were running.
I've actually just discovered that the first VM transfer did in fact have a snapshot and it's actually cloned the state from that snapshot rather than the live system so I'm removing the snapshot and going to try that one again.
As for the original problem VM, that doesn't have any snapshots

VMware migration tool not bringing disks
Hi, so I've got a weird one with the vmware migration tool.
I just imported a VM with 2 250GB disks without issue, took about 2 hours to import.
I'm now trying to import a vm on the same host with a single 200GB disk but the import doesn't complete correctly.
As soon as I click import, I'm taken straight to a freshly created VM with all the right name and settings, except it has no disk and the import task claims to be complete.I'm not able to see any obvious errors, can anyone point me in the right direction?
