I just tried to copy the VMDK file to another folder on the same datastore, and it stopped copying at about 25GB out of the 33GB file.  The same time that it stops on my other copy methods.  Does this mean the VMDK file is corrupt?  The Virtual server itself seems to be running fine. On 9/3/2

VMware converter is my fail safe. If you have vcenter server it's fairly painless to migrate to the new host with the guest powered off On Thu, Sep 2, 2021, 8:19 PM Nate Burke wrote: > I have a couple stand alone ESXi servers (6.5.0). I'm trying to move a > 30GB server image from one server to
