ESXi free - possible to use Proxmox import wizard? (lemm.ee)

Not finding a lot of info on using Proxmox import wizard to extract VMs from an ESXi free license host. I can add the host as storage and see the VMs but it looks like it's failing afterwards due to possibly some kind of rate limit error? But I know the free version API is either closed or not available. Any ideas? Thanks!

Isn't vkmd just a wrapper around a qcow? And as such you can extract the qcow image with whatever archive manager you have?

Um ... that thing about vmdk and qcow being the same ... that's ... not correct. I've never heard anyone say anything like that before. Its so wild that I can't even find a link to refute it.

But anyway, to convert VMDK and QCOW2, you need qemu-utils. Run this ...
