Error: Found wrong kind of object (VirtualMachine)

Hi,

I have problems copying a VM from an esxi 3.5 Server to a VMware Server 2 using ovftool. I already created the vm on VMWare server, but that did not help

I am trying with the command line:

ovftool vi://esxiserver/vm vi://localhost:8333/hostname/vm

and get the following error:

Error: Locator does not refer to an object: vi://localhost:8333/hostname/vm

If I use the following command line:

ovftool vi://esxiserver/vm vi://localhost:8333/vm

the error message is:

Error: Found wrong kind of object (VirtualMachine)

I am confused about what to specify for the object. Can somebody please tell me the correct statement for copying the vm over?

Thanks in advance

Dieter
