Hi Rich,


I'm not sure what the problem is, although you are going about
diagnosing the problem in the right way.

I would try not escaping the spaces, double escaping them (%2520), and
also removing elements from the path (especially "/Systems" which does
not seem to be necessary) until you can get a URL that works.

I've tried all of these suggestions with no luck, and many more permutations, both via
the GUI and the virt-v2v command line. I had a look at your blog to see if I could use 'dcPath'
but wasn't able to get something that I could use via vpx://. 

I've tried on a second VMware cluster with similar results. I'm tempted to try renaming
the datacenter name to something without spaces, but I have to be careful there.
 
An alternative approach entirely is to use an OVA export:

Looks like that's the best bet for now. 

Thanks for the reply,

Cheers,
