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. Usually would indicate that the password in the file is wrong. You might want to try: echo -n 'the-password' > password-file Indeed, but you should never hit this timeout. 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.
