      <title>Can't convert linux machine. FAILED: A specified parameter was not correct: ticketType</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;as in topic. I got fresh installed esxi 8.0 on my laptop with VMWare workstation pro 16.2.4 . I want to convert my old linux machine to VM. When I start converting on 1%&amp;nbsp; I'm getting error "&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;FAILED: A specified parameter was not correct: ticketType&lt;/SPAN&gt;". In vmware-converter-server-5.log I can see this error but has no idea how to deal with it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2022-11-17T16:44:30.132+01:00 info vmware-converter-server[04652] [Originator@6876 sub=Default] [task,379] [task-8] -- ERROR -- Convert: vmodl.fault.InvalidArgument&lt;BR /&gt;--&amp;gt; (vmodl.fault.InvalidArgument) {&lt;BR /&gt;--&amp;gt; faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,&lt;BR /&gt;--&amp;gt; invalidProperty = "ticketType",&lt;BR /&gt;--&amp;gt; msg = "Received SOAP response fault from [&amp;lt;cs p:063e9db8, TCP:192.168.41.41:443&amp;gt;]: acquireTicket&lt;BR /&gt;--&amp;gt; A specified parameter was not correct: ticketType"&lt;BR /&gt;--&amp;gt; }&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I attached all log files exported from Vcenter Converter.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I do not have ssl certficate for my machines. I already in converter config files set all &amp;lt;UseSSL&amp;gt; to false.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Edit: Now i tried to move everything to be in one network. Error is still the same. Also in Converter in log hghlights the last row&amp;nbsp; before error is&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Connecting the Converter helper ISO image to the destination virtual machine.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm out of ideas what to try next.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Edit: Right now i'm still getting an error but in ESXI the machine is creating but without resources. In esxi I can see error:&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;Failed&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;- Memory hot plug is not supported for this virtual machine.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After a look at the logs, it seems you are using ESXi 8.0. It also seems Converter uses some deprecated functionality that has been removed in 8.0.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Converter 6.3 supports up to vSphere 7.*, so this is not really a bug. If my analysis proves correct, this will be fixed in the next release. Unfortunately, as of this moment, I can't think of a workaround except using an older vSphere destination. E.g. if you can install temporarily an ESXi 7.0 somewhere and then move the converted VM?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Plamen&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Upon more careful look, there &lt;STRONG&gt;is&lt;/STRONG&gt; a workaround&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have managed to reproduce the issue. The reason is that in ESXi 8.0 the usage of VirtualMachineTicketType.device and VirtualMachineTicketType.mks is disabled. Instead VirtualMachineTicketType.webDevice and VirtualMachineTicketType.webMks should be used respectively.&lt;BR /&gt;Fortunately there is an option to allow the old behaviour. You need to set "allow_authd_ticket" to "true" in hostd configuration. Folllow &lt;A href="http://article%20https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/82227" target="_self"&gt;this KB&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp; about configstorecli. Use the following snippet to update the configuration properties:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;{&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "plugins": {&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "vmsvc": {&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "allow_authd_ticket": true&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; }&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; }&lt;BR /&gt;}&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;HTH,&lt;BR /&gt;Plamen&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;There is Converter 6.4 already where this issue should have been fixed.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
