Were you able to resolve this issue?

I am trying to copy files from 5.5 to 7.0 and experiencing the same error.

Hello,

i copy the files from 5.x to a linux host, mounted pet nfs, and from linux to the esxi 7.

the peer to peer (esxi 5 to esxi 7) way did not work for me. i found no solution for that

sorry

Having the same issue as on 15th December 2021. Forced us to SCP the files from ESXi 5 to Linux host & then to ESXi 7!
