Not finding a lot of info on using Proxmox import wizard to extract VMs from an ESXi free license host. I can add the host as storage and see the VMs but it looks like it’s failing afterwards due to possibly some kind of rate limit error? But I know the free version API is either closed or not available. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Isn’t vkmd just a wrapper around a qcow? And as such you can extract the qcow image with whatever archive manager you have?

      Um … that thing about vmdk and qcow being the same … that’s … not correct. I’ve never heard anyone say anything like that before. Its so wild that I can’t even find a link to refute it.

      But anyway, to convert VMDK and QCOW2, you need qemu-utils. Run this …
