OverheadMemoryManager error while uploading VM from Fusion to vSphere 6

Thursday, July 2, 2015 at 10:35 AM


I tried uploading a virtual machine from my MacBook Pro running VMware Fusion Pro 7 to my vSphere environment today. Didn't work. I'm connected to the vCenter Server, and after selecting "Upload to Server", I can select the vCenter Server, then the ESXi host, and finally the datastore.

Doesn't work.

Here's the error:

Error:

Error processing attribute "type" with value "OverheadMemoryManager"
while parsing MoRef for ManagedObject of type vim.OverheadMemoryManager
at line 7, column 3236
while parsing property "overheadMemoryManager" of static type OverheadMemoryManager

I eventually found this via Google, but it wasn't much help:

I did find a workaround: Instead of uploading to server from Fusion to vCenter Server, connect Fusion directly to an ESXi host bypassing vCenter completely. Now, when you upload to server, select the host directly, then the datastore, and next, next, next, next, ok, finish (or whatever it is) and it will work.

As of 7/2/2015, yes Fusion 7 Pro is patched/updated to the latest version, as is the vCenter Server Appliance (6.0.0 + patch1).
