Describe the bug

I've tried this from trial XOA, and compile myself, and each time I run this against ESXi 7.0.3 it fails.

Hi @SWoodyUK ,

what is the storage on VMWare side ? it looks like the vmdk aren't in the expected format ( they should be sammlish files that contains a link to the real data )

regards
