Hi,
I am currently trying to import some of my ESXi VMs to Proxmox.
I am using a CEPH Cluster with three nodes and I've set up the ESXi as a Storage in the Datacenter.
My goal is to be able to migrate all my VMs with minimal downtime from VMware to Proxmox and only use Proxmox instead.
While importing I get - depending if I want to live migrate or not - two different errors:
1. Live migrate
2. Not live migrating
While searching the web I couldn't really find any information about this problem. One user mentioned it could be caused by not having the permission in the VMware ESXi storage. But I am logged in as the root user, so this shouldn't really be a problem.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!
