Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
This update fixes an issue where V2V fails for a VMware external provider which contains special characters in a data center, cluster, or folder name. The characters are now encoded on the V2V engine side before sending them to the VDSM. 1) This solution encodes the VMware data center and VMware cluster parts of the uri. For example, in the URI vpx://user@vcenter/<DATACENTER>/<CLUSTER>/esxi?no_verify=1 the <DATACENTER> and <CLUSTER> parts are encoded, including folders if they exist. Other parts of the URI are left decoded. 2) The UI will display the data center and cluster as was originally typed by the user. 3. The encoding is done on the frontend and should be also done while using REST APIs for VMware V2V.
