Hi,
I'm importing some VMs from ESXi using a script, but am having issues with certain characters.
I use the volume ID for importing metadata, which then fail.
When checking the same datastore in the web interface, it's correctly showing as
Similar issue for disks. (I renamed the VM folder and .vmx for this)
The web interface does not seem to help with this.
