Please use OVA export from VMware / import to RHV as an alternative workaround for now.
Please could you ask the customer for: Dev-Allianz-Confluence4.vmdk Dev-Allianz-Confluence4.vmsd Dev-Allianz-Confluence4.vmx (They can be sent privately to me by email if the customer would prefer not to attach them to the bug) I would also like to know the version of VMware they are using.
Customer is not able to send the files due to security limitations.
I don't understand why the customer's VMware guest doesn't have "-flat.vmdk" file. "-flat.vmdk" file will be created automatically if new guest is created on VMware. Besides, if delete file ""-flat.vmdk" on VMware host, then the guest can't be power on on vSphere client with error ".....vmdk was not found", details pls refer to screenshot 'guest-cannot-power-on-after-delete-flat-vmdk.png' Log into ESXi host to check the files of guests in datastore: [root@bootxxx:/vmfs/volumes/5aefd41e-1d448cf8-0b1f-001018d0c8e0/esx6.7-new-guest] ls esx6.7-new-guest-4bacff40.hlog esx6.7-new-guest.vmdk esx6.7-new-guest.vmx esx6.7-new-guest-flat.vmdk esx6.7-new-guest.vmsd
