Trying to do a V2V converseion from a VMWare vCenter. Launch the program, select 'Remote VMWare ESXi Server or vCenter'. At the next page, I put in the IP address of my vCenter and put in my credentials and then click 'Next'. Where is says 'Select a virtual machine or image file to convert' there is nothing there. No machines or templates listed. Am I doing something wrong?

HI,

Sorry for the delay! Try using the IP of the individual ESXi hosts.

I don't believe I have access to individual ESX hosts, just the vcenter. I can see about getting that access and try it again.

Hello,
I'm having this issue as well. If the Starwind V2V Converter does not support vCenter, why does it say "Enter VMware ESXi Server or vCenter connection parameters" ?

Sure I can add a screenshot if I had an easy location to put one , but the problem is clear, the lists are just empty, nothing is displayed. You select you want to convert from ESXi or vcenter, you enter the credentials and on the next page, where you are supposed to select what you want to convert, both the left and right box are completely empty. It's not a permission issue (attempted with the local admin account of vSphere), it's not a firewall or DNS issue either (in the same subnet and both on IP and hostname). I'm already glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue.

Please share the screenshot. I need some sort of log or any other evidence to log a call with R&D.
