The following exception is thrown in the UI > this not clear to the end user
2. On checking the logs

Expected behaviour
The following error message should be shown in the ui
```
Cannot convert the instance from VMware using VDDK on host 10.1.34.207. Please make sure virt-v2v, nbdkit-vddk and a valid VDDK library directory are available on the host.
