Hi,
I am encountering an issue with virt-v2v where I need to authenticate to the vCenter as
DOMAIN\user.
I have tried the following with the resulting errors:
1. 'virt-v2v -v -x -ic
'vpx://vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1' vm_name -o local
-of raw -os /tmp'
- prompted for username password
- entered 'DOMAIN\User' as username
- successfully retrieves libvirt xml
- errors with 'virt-v2v: error: vcenter: incorrect username or password.'
2. 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
- errors immediately with 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
What is the correct syntax for entering the authenticating user as 'DOMAIN\user'
for virt-v2v?
Thanks,
Ben.
