Ok, I could not get authentication to work on directly to ESXi with the free license present. While I could authenticate (no errors) with an Enterprise+ key present on the host it would not read any of the VMs. I deployed VCSA and created a Datacenter>Cluster and changed the PVE mapping to vCenter and it all worked. Tested on ESXi 7.0.3, 20328353, 7.0U3d-19482537 and 6.7.0u3b-15160138. Currently am doing a ESXi->PVE migration through vCenter on 6 testing VMs.
I really like how PVE knows that VMware SCSI has to be converted to SATA
Connecting to vsphere gets me constant rate limit errors in the log.
( I do have 3 v7 vcenters linked. )
