When starting the conversion process from a Proxmox 9 server, when trying to connect to the server it always gives an error of The host name or credentials are wrong, the data used has been validated as valid.

StarWind V2V Converter 9.0.1.772

Thanks for your post.
There are a bunch of issues with V2V when converting to Proxmox9. Dev team are working on those.

this error usually happens because Proxmox 9 disables password-based root SSH by default, so you must enable SSH password login or use a user with proper permissions before StarWind V2V Converter can connect.

Thanks for your feedback and Staff. The errors that occur because of Proxmox 9 I think need to be fixed to ensure more stable operation.
