Hi Oliver:
Can you add quotes around the path and replace the %20 with spaces and see if that works?
A frequent ask is being able to list VMs.. we may just add that feature to make it easier to use.
Thanks Mohammed

Hi Mohammed,
We struggled using virt-v2v directly with OpenStack. Our approach was using ovftool to export the VM as OVA and then create a qcow2 image that we can import in OpenStack. So many manual steps involved.
So I tested your tool aganst vsphere 7.x vcenter. But I just can't manage to get it working.
It keeps complaining about the path of the source VM. I can use the following just fine with virt-v2v:
virt-v2v -v -x --password-file pass.txt -ic vpx://user123@vcenter.somedomain.localmailto:user123@vcenter.somedomain.local/GE%Office%20One/Projects/esx01.somedomain.local?no_verify=1 test-vm-01
Using the same in your tool:
docker run -it --rm --privileged \ -v /dev:/devhttp://dev:/dev \ -v /usr/lib64/vmware-vix-disklib/:/usr/lib64/vmware-vix-disklib:ro \ --env-file <(env | grep OS_) registry.atmosphere.dev/library/migratekit:latesthttp://registry.atmosphere.dev/library/migratekit:latest migrate \ --vmware-endpoint vcenter.somedomain.local \ --vmware-username user123 \ --vmware-password XXXXXX \ --vmware-path /GE%Office%20One/Projects/esx01.somedomain.local/test-vm-01
Results in:
Error: vm '/GE%Office%20One/Projects/esx01.somedomain.local/test-vm-01http://esx01.somedomain.local/test-vm-01' not found
I tried many different variants of the path none has worked.
Is there a way to lookup the path of a VM?
I can also use:
virsh -c 'vpx://user123@vcenter.somedomain.localmailto:user123@vcenter.somedomain.local/GE%Office%20One/Projects/esx01.somedomain.local?no_verify=1 list --all
which shows me all VMs running on that particular ESXi host.
Best Regards, Oliver
