Function not implemented ESXI

[pvpaulo]

Has anyone ever caught this error?
I have proxmox version 8.2 and vmware esxi 5.5.
my VM is already turned off
Error:
can't open '/run/pve/import/esxi/esxi_10/mnt/ha-datacenter/MD3200_DS1 RAID10/dsk_Windows10_TI_WEB/dsk_Windows10_TI_WEB.vmx' - Function not implemented (500)

I am afraid a 5.5 ESXi is too old.

Import was tested from ESXi version 6.5 up to version 8.0.

Would you have any way to migrate these VMs using this esxi storage in the proxmox somehow?
Or installing an older proxmox?
Could you tell me?
I don't want to get the vmdk and the converter I know works correctly
But I would like to have more productivity in the migration
Thanks for the answer

No, the direct importer is rather new and will only work with the specified ESXi versions. But checkout the other options in that guide if they can work for you. If you store the VMs on a network share, for example, you can import the disk images with minimal downtime.
