Hello,

Why do you try with VMware Converter?

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/info/slug/infrastructure_operations_management/vmware_vcenter_conve...

This is the right tool for this kind of tasks/migration

On the other hand, if you share with us more detail about your environment, we can help you with more precision.

It would seem that the export may have ended pre-maturely.   Do you have any shared storage to use?   Converter is a good tool to use, but depending on your setup you may have other options.
