How do I use vmware-vdiskmanager.exe to convert an existing vmdk on a Windows host to a vmdk stored on ESXi ?
When ever I try it looks like it is starting but then I get error 0x4650 - and cant connect to the host.
sample command that fails:
E:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit\bin>vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r r:\ws8\2k8r2core-efi\2k8r2core-efi.vmdk -t 6 -h 192.168.1.8 -u root -f pfile.txt "[2tb]/test/n.vmdk"

I create the passowrdfile like this
echo mysecretpassword > pfile.txt
