Error during migration of a VMware VM to Proxmox

Hello,
I’m currently testing the migration of virtual machines from a vCenter to a Proxmox cluster, but I’m encountering a storage-related error:

“ERROR: Proxmox::WrapperProxmox::WrapperProxmoxImpl::ConnectSSH: Failed to open remote file: rbd:SharedVMs/vm-107-disk-0:conf=/etc/pve/ceph.conf:id=admin:keyring=/etc/pve/priv/ceph/SharedVMs.keyring”

“SharedVMs” is my shared CEPH storage.

All network flows are correctly opened, and I’m using the root account on the Proxmox side, so there shouldn’t be any permission issues.

Has anyone already encountered this problem?

Please tell me more about the setup. What is the ESXi version you have? Did you try converting from ESXi, not the vCenter?
Did you try converting an offline VM disk?

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I tried both from the vCenter and directly from the ESXi host, but without success.
The ESXi is running version 8U3 with vSAN storage. My Proxmox hosts are running version 8.3.5.
I’m using the root account for both ESXi and Proxmox.

The VM migration starts, but as soon as it tries to begin copying the storage (the VM was successfully recreated on the Proxmox side.), the V2V converter crashes abruptly after few seconds.

Would you happen to have the list of required network flows so I can double-check that side?

I will discuss it internally.
Thanks!

We are experiencing the same issue. Does anyone know if a previous version worked? The latest does not. Also, how can I download an earlier version?

There is no way to download the previous versions. I will update this thread once I hear from my colleagues.

This is a known issue.
The migration should work in future builds. Please keep an eye on the release notes https://www.starwindsoftware.com/v2v-co ... ease-notes.
