That's a very good question, and I have no idea at all :-( > [root@virt-v2v ~]# virt-v2v -v -x -ic > 'vpx://DOMAIN\user@vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1' > vm_name -o local -of raw -os /tmp > virt-v2v: error: could not parse '-ic > vpx://DOMAIN\user@vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1'. > Original error message was: parse_uri: unable to parse URI How about trying this URL: -ic 'vpx://DOMAIN%5cuser@vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1' Note that %5c is the URL escape for backslash.
