I need the specific permissions required in VMWare when migrating form VMware ESX to Azure. I am currently getting an error "Insufficient permissions in the host operating system."

Hi,

Check this document out https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ ... -agentless.

Thank you. I have looked at that route. other hurdles there as well. This tool looks like it should work I just need to know permission required in VMWare to let the VM Admins know so they can accommodate me.

Hi,

That document discusses permissions needed on the VMware side.

The document states read only access is required. I have elevated rights beyond read yet I still get an error at the step it says opening image file. So I think the software requires something more than read access. I can browse the files in vcenter and see then no issues.

If this helps any this is in the log.
???ERROR: ESXVmdk::ParseFile: m_VixDiskLib_Open is fail - 3014, Insufficient permissions in the host operating system
???ERROR: ESXIDisk::CreateInputImage: ParseFile is fail

Hi,

The converter itself has no permissions to open file. Try logging as root.
