If you're not used to libvirt connection to vmware, all that fields
could scare. Anyway you need to fill out all the values, because are
needed to locate the vm you want to migrate.

So you are confirming that using "VMware" import option all fields are needed, ESXi hostname and credentials comprised.

In fact if I don't fill and click "Load", in the ESXi fileds I get the popup notice that "this filed can't be empty"...

When using that function you'll point to a specific host connected to
the given vcenter, in the given datacenter, inside a given cluster.
Import function will contact vcenter and ask for all vms in shutdown
status on that host, then allows you to continue with the wizard.

Which "function" are you referring to?

Thanks,
