I was able to import from the source GSX server to the system running Virtual Center (2.5) and it came across as you'd expect a file copy.
However, when I try to run the same import, targeting the ESX server, I get a cryptic failure. I have pasted the log entries below for your consideration. I believe the key failure is "GetResult failed: vim.vm.device.VirtualVMIROMOption". The credential for both source and target each parse fine, but when the process attempts to create the new VM in the destination ESX server, it fails. Any idea why?
I attached the full log, as well.
TIA!
