When starting the V2V converter from a remote ESXi 6.0 host to a HV host I get the above error for each of the datastores. It opens the image file, creates a VM in HV and it looks like it completes one VMDK conversion and then fails. Is there a size limit on the VMDK that the V2V Converter can handle? These VMDKs are over 2TB.

There are no size limitations for StarWind V2V converter.

Great, but what about the rest of my question. What would cause this error? Where are the logs?

It looks like it creates the folders, starts creating the files in HV but when it gets to the large VMDKs it fails.

I tried with another VM and I see the same message. I am trying find what is common between them. Any ideas? Logs?

Do you know if logs are stored anywhere that I could look at? I am sure there is something that is logged that says which parameter is invalid. If I knew the location it could be an easy fix.

It seems like we have a lot of pending issues. I understand this is a "free" product but it is an important piece for the evaluation of your VSAN software. When do you expect to hear back so we can resolve these pending issues?

Thank you,

Steve,
There were a lot of functionality and improvements added to this V2V version. The issues you have should be repaired in the next V2V converter build.

When will this version come out? How do we know which version we are running?

At the current moment, the version is 9.0.0.75.
You can check the version you are running in the properties of V2V_Converter.exe: C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind V2V Image Converter
The new version should be released in the nearest time. We will keep the community updated.

Hopefully soon. This is becoming increasingly frustrating. Can you at least provide me the location of the logs so I can do some researching of the issue? I had requested the log location a while back but have not heard back.

Thank you,
