Hey,

this is my first post here and i only started using PVE a few days ago. I'm looking to migrate from ESXI and have a number of ESXI hosts.

I was able to add a couple of the ESXI hosts and import some VMs which appear to be pretty stable so far but today i encountered an issue when trying to import from an ESXI host.

After adding the ESXI host to storage i am unable to get the list of VMs running on it as I get the error 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'files' (500)

The ESXI host is running VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-20497097 adn proxmox is running proxmox-ve: 8.4.0 (running kernel: 6.8.12-13-pve).

Screenshot 2025-08-18 at 3.14.03 p.m..pngAny idea where i can find more details logs whether that be on the PVE or ESXI side?

Any help is appreciated.
 
I believe I figured out what was wrong. One of the VMs on the esxi host shows as invalid as soon as I remove that and try to load the esxi VMs from proxmox it loads so that must be the issue.

Better could do with better error message.
