Using the automatic method where you mount the vmware host as Storage in Proxmox, you might get something along the lines of 

qemu-img: error while reading at byte 14227076096: Input/output error
Logical volume "vm-101-disk-0" successfully removed.
TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 101 - cannot import from 'esxi01:ha-datacenter/datastore_01/Kali/Kali.vmdk' - copy failed: command '/usr/bin/qemu-img convert -p -n -f vmdk -O raw /run/pve/import/esxi/esxi01/mnt/ha-datacenter/datastore_01/Kali/Kali.vmdk zeroinit:/dev/data2/vm-101-disk-0' failed: exit code 1

This lead me to

And

  1. Login to the vmware host and go edit the soap.sessionTimeout and soap.maxSessionCount to 0 (unlimited)

  1. And save.

  2. Retry the import
