I'm trying to convert a LARGE VMWare vSphere server that has (3) virtual drives attached to it. The first is an OS drive about 200gb in size, the second is a 2.5TB vmdk virtual disk attached to the VM and used as file storage and the third is a 4TB vmdk virtual disk attached to the VM and also uses as file storage for this file server.

The process is of course taking a long time, however it has failed twice now at 21 1/2 hours into the process. Here is the LOG file:

"The session is not authenticated."
Detail:
The job starts out ok and successfully completes the OS drive about 35 minutes into the process (00:15:29 a.m.) but after that point I start to see proxy logout and session warning errors, and at the end of the entire 21 1/2 hour process I have the main C: os Drive working (JEUSFLE2 (File Server) 10.1.0.148_3.vhd ), but the other 2 drive conversions fail, with JEUSFLE2 (File Server) 10.1.0.148_1.vhd ending up only 2TB in size instead of 4TB and classified as "unreadable" and I don't even see the attempt in the log file for JEUSFLE2 (File Server) 10.1.0.148_2.vhd at all.

From my basic understanding of the log file, it looks like the StarWind V2V conversion app starting having issues after that first ???WARNING: WrapperESXI::disconnect: m_proxy->Logout fail - 12, and I'm just wondering if this is a perfect storm of this VM being so large and some "Timeout" setting in my VSphere being set to low, causing the session to timeout and no longer authenticate.

Has anyone ever run into this before? Does anyone know how to modify the timeout setting in the vSphere ESXI so that I can temporarily remove or extend this session timeout until I can successfully transfer the VM from the old vSphere server to my new Hyper-V server?

This server is a primary file server for our company so I can only make the attempts starting at the end of the work week at midnight. This makes troubleshooting by trial and error a process that could possibly take me weeks or months to work out, so any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Thanks for your post. Can I ask you to perform additional tests?
Please run the conversion multiple times. It might be there is some sort of "timeout" when connecting to vSphere.
As a workaround, can you convert the VMDK as a local file and then just copy it to the Hyper-V host?
