Converting ESXi VM to Azure fails after disk conversion

[GBDickinson]

I'm attempting to move a VM from ESXi to Azure. I've set up the application with "Owner" permissions to the Subscription, but both times I've attempted the conversion it ends like this:

Code: Select all

Searching the forum for "sourceuri" returns no results. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Is the VM shut down?
Please set your account according to this guide https://www.starwindsoftware.com/v2v-help/Cloud.html

Yes, the VM is powered off. I followed the linked instructions for the first attempt, and when that did not work, I changed the subscription access to "Owner" in case it was a security issue.

Does the VM have snapshots? If so, try merging/deleting them.

[GBDickinson]

No snapshots, this is a fresh OVA deployment of a VMware Identity Management Appliance from OVA. For what it's worth, the disks are created and uploaded successfully, it just errors when creating an Azure VM based on the uploaded disks.

If it fails to create VM in Azure even based on the disk which is already in Azure, there's something with the Azure account settings, I believe.
