Hello!
I'm trying to convert VM from Hyper-V host to Proxmox VE 9.1.1 and the program exits during image conversion. Her is the log:

I've checked firewalls - ssh port is open and I can connect to it. Any suggestions?

1/16 12:01:21.545 6c2c Facility ???ERROR: Proxmox::WrapperProxmox::WrapperProxmoxImpl::ConnectSSH: TCP connect failed: WSA=0

Looks like there's a timeout. Does it exist instantly or after some time?

In about 20 seconds

It looks like ssh/connectivity issue. Could you please see if ssh session can be established from the source host?

Certainly. It was the first I've checked. Full tcp is allowed

Could you please tell me more about the Hyper-V host (i.e., WS version)?
Can you run P2V from the destination host for any volume? I am trying to figure out if the machine you are on has the connection to Proxmox over SSH too.

Windows Server 2019 Datacenter. ssh in cmd from it to PVE is working. V2V creates the VM on target Proxmox and fails during disc conversion. I've tried to use the third host that is in the same subnet with PVE (no firewall at all) and got the same error.
Maybe V2V Converter can't access the source VM disk on CSV volume (Hyper-V is part of failover cluster, but VM is not clustered)? But error is confusing.

Thanks for your update. Can you please run P2V from inside that VM? Single disk conversion will do it.

I've tried:
--virtualsize may not be zero.
TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 102 - lvcreate 'pve/vm-102-disk-0' error: Run `lvcreate --help' for more information.

Also I've copied vhdx file to the local drive and tried to convert local file to new PVE VM and ended on the same error:

Can you please try P2V the disk for the VM that Proxmox host to the same host?
I have a strong feeling there's something on the network side. I will log the internal ticket with my colleagues.

Can you please set the simpler root credentials for Proxmox? Use something simple for some time, like "letters and a number."

Hello!
Unfortunately, the same error. I've change the root password to smth simple - no luck. Installed VM on PVE host in the same subnet and tried P2V migration - the same error.
Looks like the program doesn't support PVE 9.1.1

Thanks for your update!
Is the SSH available over 22 port?

Certainly. It's responding, no firewall, I can successfully ssh in cmd from the source server\VM.

Thanks for your update. Is it possible to convert the files locally > copy them to Proxmox while we are looking into this incident?

Well. Today I've installed new PVE 9.1.4 to test migration and it successfully started disk conversion. After that I've upgradeв the first server to 9.1.4 and rebooted it. Magically it started converting disk without errors. I don't know what helped - upgrade or restart, but as for now the disk is in the process of conversion.
Thank you for help.
