I am trying to move a vm from esxi5.1 to esxi6.7. I downloaded the StarWind v2v converter, but it says it only works with esxi5.5 or later. I was able to log into esx5.1 and put in the destination for the esxi6.7 but I didn't do the convert to move it.

What are the issues with esxi5.1 and is there a work around? I didn't want to do this until I talked to someone about it. Just call me chicken. LOL :D

Welcome to StarWind forum!
I guess there is something with libraries V2V uses: they may not work with old ESXi versions.

Is it not going to work or should I try something else? Do you have an old version of the converter that would work?

I didn't run it yet because I was afraid. Do you still want conversion logs?

Hello. Please run the conversion. If it fails, please share the logs with us. The logs do not contain the error messages now.
Please note that StarWind V2V Converter supports conversion starting from ESXi 5.5.

Thank you for sharing the logs. V2V Converter cannot connect to ESXi 5.1 for some reason. Please try updating it to 5.5.
