Looks like the tool looks for a "-flat.vmdk" disk that does not exist. The only VMDK present in Datastore is "vDiskName_1.vmdk"

ESXi host and vCenter Server version 5.5.

Is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard still not supported for the conversion?
Will it be soon as well as Windows 8 and 10?

Libirt version:
libvirt-client-1.2.17-1.el7.x86_64

Virt-v2v version:
virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.48.el7.x86_64

Many Thanks!

That's new to me.  What's the actual directory listing
if you visit that through the vCenter web page?

The directory name is same as the vm name. I browse the vm's Datastore using the vSphere Client and not through the Web page. Is that a difference from libvirt/virt-v2v prospective?

The vm's files look fine and there are no snapshots present, which would explain the -flat.vmdk.

The only thing that pops up in my mind as first is that the vm was created using a Template from a vCloud Director environment. I do not know if this can make a difference/create an issue.
Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-11-04 17:35:19 UTC 
It would be helpful if you could go to the vCenter webpage,
navigate down to the VM, and paste here the VM's directory
and all the files in it.  Preferably with the URLs of
everything too.

I believe this is what you asked for:

https://vCenterServerName:9443/vsphere-client/#extensionId=vsphere.core.datastore.manage.filesView;context=com.vmware.core.model%3A%3AServerObjectRef~21F3B6D6-26FB-430E-BA4A-BAF302EBA2F8%3ADatastore%3Adatastore-23633~core

This is the URL from the datastore view when clicking on the folder containing the VM's files.
Comment 5 Alessandro 2015-11-04 19:20:33 UTC 
Richard,
I believe I have found the issue.
The vm I was trying to convert was created using the Fast Provisioning method from vCloud Director.
SO basically the vm VMDK is a snapshot of a source template vm's VMDK.
This is why we see the -flat.vmdk and why Virt-v2v cannot convert the vm.

I am asking for a confirmation about this and confirm this to you asap.

Thanks!
Comment 6 Alessandro 2015-11-04 21:45:04 UTC 
Richard,
I confirm to you that the VMDK was a snapshot of a source VM.
The vDisk has been consolidated and I have ran the test again, everything works fine now.
You can close this case. 

Thank you!
