I've been trying to migrate a VM off VMWare for the past couple of days. Looking into the importer pods, I can see what I would expect, such as:

Copy code

Importing client disk images
converting image /tmp/old.vmdk to /tmp/vm-import-controller/old.img
Creating VM images ...
Evaluating VM images ...

Then, 6 hours later, I get

Copy code

Evaluating VM images
reoncilling vmware migration default/vmware
The VM was imported successfully (for the other existing vm migrations)
Evaluating VM images ...

I just checked the images in the Rancher UI, and I found the two, both of which have the following error:

Copy code

Failed due to error: failed to process sync file: context canceled

Not sure what to make of this.

Oh, I was able to take the URL for the disk image, create a new image, and it is transferring now. That's a cool workaround. I assume this happened because my disks are slow.
