Great news 🙂 Happy using HVM mode with a "free" 20/30% boost 😉

@julien-f Thanks a lot for this update!

It's not only this code. But in general, a good way to manage that is: "every message in CAPS is coming from the lower layer" (ie not XO).

@nraynaud well i just used the datastore browser to download the vmdk. i did the same thing with some other (smaller) VMs without any problems. All of this from the same ESXi host.
Thanks for looking into it though, i will try the export VM way next but have to find the right time for a shutdown ...

@julien-f yes, works well (even with the 3td party script 😇 ). Nice job and fast as usual 👍. Thanks @Alexander-0 for helping to pin it down 👏

I can migrate this VM from another host (7.6) to the 8.2 host just fine:

Im not sure what the agent actually is, thats why im guessing this might be related

VM that fails:

Damn i guess this does not work (due to insufficent space?):
