Synchronisation Fail Issue

[yaroslav (staff)]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Seeing same errors on ESXi 8 host attempting to migrate VM to Hyper-V. I am selecting the Synchronize option -

"synchronization failed. Invalid Parameter. Error Deleting Snapshot... the session is not authenticated."

I do not see a config.xml in /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy on ESXi 8 however.

Any idea where to set this on ESXi 8 host?

Thanks!

Could you please share the entire log?

Please see below. I've removed any hostnames/IP addresses of vCenter, ESXi or Hyper-V hosts.

I have tried specifying vCenter and ESXi host as the VM source, but same result.

Try offline conversion, please Snapshot removal is taking longer than expected.

[ljm73]

Ok, but the main reason we are interested in this product is that it can do an online conversion. Otherwise, we will use SCVMM to migrate the VM.

I do not see any attempts/tasks in vCenter or ESXi Host for removing the snapshot. When I manually remove the snapshot in vCenter, it takes 1-2 seconds.

Could you please let me know the V2V converter build you use?
Please also try the latest build.

[ljm73]

Hi,

It's V9.0 build 626.

I am also hoping you can provide info on how the Synchronization works, or is that documented somewhere?

V2V Converter will do a final sync automatically at the end to make sure the Target / Cloned VM is fully updated with all changes on the Source VM?

Hi,

Thanks. I have forwarded your input to the R&D team.
There's nothing extraordinary about the live conversion. StarWind V2V can convert the VMs live. it makes only one snapshot and merges it at the end. To be more specific, it creates 2 snapshots, one before conversion and another before syncing the delta with the new VM.
