Can you please try a thick file? I just need a smoke test, no need to wait for the conversion to finish.
Thanks!

Can you try a different path for the file? Maybe using Volume EUI instead of the name?

Hi,
I updated to the newest version now and there is a difference in the filtypes compared to the docs found online.
Code: Select all
File types:
ft_vhd_growable - MS VHD growable;
ft_vhd_pre_allocated - MS VHD pre-allocated;
ft_vhdx_growable - MS VHDX growable;
ft_vhdx_pre_allocated - MS VHDX pre-allocated;
ft_vmdk_ws_growable - VMDK growable for VMware Workstation;
ft_vmdk_ws_pre_allocated - VMDK pre-allocated for VMware Workstation;
ft_vmdk_esx_growable - VMDK growable for VMware ESXi Server;
ft_vmdk_esx_pre_allocated - VMDK pre-allocated for VMware ESXi Server;
ft_vmdk_so - VMDK stream-optimized;
ft_raw - RAW image;
ft_qcow2 - QCOW2 virtual disk;
ft_vdi_growable - VDI growable for Oracle VirtualBox;
ft_vdi_pre_allocated - VDI pre-allocated for Oracle VirtualBox.
so I changed to a support entry, but now I get another error Message in the logs:
Code: Select all
4/16 10:58:32.811 25d8 Facility ???ERROR: RunConsole: VM VMNAME not found
The options are the same when I use the GUI tool, but with cli it is not working

Hi,
Can you please make sure the VM name has only ASCII symbols?

Hi,
only ASCII in the name, but it looks like the tool is putting a space in front of the VM name:
Code: Select all
4/16 13:30:58.243 26b8 Facility ???ERROR: RunConsole: VM vmtest not found
It is the same result with config file or putting everything directly into the command line.

Thanks for pointing that out. Can you run an individual command for one VM to see if we are dealing with syntax or V2V converter problems? thanks.

Can you try repeating the conversion with the / instead of \ ?

Hi,
still not working, Error Message Remains the same
Code: Select all
4/24 13:02:57.690 2408 Facility ???ERROR: RunConsole: VM vmtest not found
this refers directly to this line in the config File
