      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am trying to move VM from standalone esxi host to VCenter having three hosts in cluster. I can do it using VCenter convertor standalone as V2V. but I am assuming ovftool will do faster for larger VMs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;it is straight forward info here. but it is not complete&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/06/how-to-copy-vms-directly-between-esxi.html" title="http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/06/how-to-copy-vms-directly-between-esxi.html"&gt;How to Copy VMs Directly Between ESXi Hosts Without Shared Storage | virtuallyGhetto&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am using this syntax&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; ovftool.exe -ds=DS1_OS1 vi://root@10.10.10.10/xyz.abc.com vi:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A class="jive-link-email-small" href="mailto://root@newesxihost.abc.com"&gt;//root@newesxihost.abc.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;after entering credentials for both source and target. I am getting below error.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Error: No network mapping specified. OVF networks:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; VM Network. Target networks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I&amp;nbsp; want to correct syntax. do I need to define target network in syntax.or how to avoid this network check in ovftool syntax.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am using latest 5.3.2 ovftool. where it is mentioned to --net or --network in command line.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had this same problem. Here is the command that worked between a 5.5 host (under a different venter) directly to our VCSAppliance running 6.5u1. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ovftool.exe -ds=vsanDatastore &lt;STRONG&gt;--net:"&amp;lt;SourceVMNetwork&amp;gt;=&amp;lt;DestinationVMNetwork&amp;gt;"&lt;/STRONG&gt; vi://&amp;lt;Username:passwordOptional&amp;gt;@&amp;lt;ESXi5.5Host&amp;gt;/&amp;lt;VMName&amp;gt; vi://&amp;lt;Username:passwordOptional&amp;gt;@&amp;lt;VCSAppliance6.5u1&amp;gt;/&amp;lt;Datacenter&amp;gt;/host/&amp;lt;Clustername&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
