which output did you use? -o rhev? or you can try -o local I guess jsut to see it does something

I tried to convert another VM (this one without a snapshot) and got the error "virt-v2v is unable to convert this guest type" I'm guessing that the problem is that our VMWare VM's are an the v10 format, as I know a lot of tools have issue dealing with the newer format.

you can try 1.32, it won’t help with the snapshot, but it might improve some things
binaries for el7 can be found here[1]
