You should be able to use the SSH method. It's faster and easier to use than virt-v2v-copy-to-local, but you have to make a small configuration change to ESXi to enable SSH access: http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#input-from-vmware-vmx Even better than that would be the NFS method, but that's not always possible. > I am in the process of converting/migrating from ESXi 5.5 to > oVirt.

Usually would indicate that the password in the file is wrong. You might want to try: echo -n 'the-password' > password-file > 2.

I think better not to use virt-v2v-copy-to-local and try the SSH method instead, it's just easier all round. If virt-v2v still fails, then run virt-v2v -v -x [... rest of the parameters ...] |& tee /tmp/log and upload the /tmp/log file to a pastebin somewhere and post the link on the mailing list.
