Description of problem:
Try to migrate a VM from ESXi 8 ipv6 host to OCP ipv6 cluster, the plan failed in conversion phase with error below, the v2v command line need to use the ESXi ipv6 address but not ipv4 address

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
MTV 2.10.0-12(IIB: forklift-fbc-prod-v420:on-pr-9b44168a11bbe06db5adb7668f64592beb05fb67) with CNV 4.20.0
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create the ipv6 ESXi host provider
#cat provider-49.yaml apiVersion: forklift.konveyor.io/v1beta1 kind: Provider metadata: name: v8-host-49 namespace: openshift-mtv spec: secret: name: v8-host-secret-49 namespace: openshift-mtv settings: sdkEndpoint: esxi vddkInitImage: quay.io/libvirt_v2v_cnv/vddk:8.0.1 type: vsphere url: https://[2620:52:0:4948:3673:5aff:fe9a:dd78]/sdk #oc apply -f provider.yaml Get the provider uid: # oc get provider v8-host-49 -o yaml|grep uid uid: 66678be9-9215-4af7-97a9-47e89b001732 Edit the secret file to use your provider uid # cat secret-49.yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Secret metadata: name: v8-host-secret-49 namespace: openshift-mtv ownerReferences: - apiVersion: forklift.konveyor.io/v1beta1 kind: Provider name: v8-host-49 uid: 66678be9-9215-4af7-97a9-47e89b001732 labels: createdForProviderType: vsphere createdForResourceType: providers type: Opaque stringData: user: root password: 123qweP insecureSkipVerify: "true" url: https://[2620:52:0:4948:3673:5aff:fe9a:dd78]/sdk Create the secret: #oc apply -f secret-49.yaml Check the provider status: #oc get provider NAME TYPE STATUS READY CONNECTED INVENTORY URL AGE host openshift Ready True True True 5d1h v8-host-49 vsphere Ready True True True https://[2620:52:0:4948:3673:5aff:fe9a:dd78]/sdk 5d
2) Create networkmap
#cat networkmap.yaml apiVersion: forklift.konveyor.io/v1beta1 kind: NetworkMap metadata: name: networkmap-v8-host namespace: openshift-mtv spec: map: - destination: type: pod source: id: HaNetwork-VM Network name: VM Network type: vsphere provider: destination: apiVersion: forklift.konveyor.io/v1beta1 kind: Provider name: host namespace: openshift-mtv source: apiVersion: forklift.konveyor.io/v1beta1 kind: Provider name: v8-host-49 namespace: openshift-mtv #oc apply -f networkmap.yaml #oc get networkmap NAME READY AGE networkmap-v8-host True 3d1h
3) Create storagemap
#cat storagemap.yaml apiVersion: forklift.konveyor.io/v1beta1 kind: StorageMap metadata: name: storagemap-v8-host namespace: openshift-mtv spec: map: - destination: storageClass: ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd source: id: fb8c75a7c18b3a03aec97554e8f20991 provider: destination: apiVersion: forklift.konveyor.io/v1beta1 kind: Provider name: host namespace: openshift-mtv source: apiVersion: forklift.konveyor.io/v1beta1 kind: Provider name: v8-host-49 namespace: openshift-mtv #oc apply -f storagemap.yaml #oc get storagemap NAME READY AGE storagemap-v8-host True 3d1h
4) Create plan and Migration with attached plan.yam, and migration.yaml
#oc get plan NAME READY EXECUTING SUCCEEDED FAILED AGE plan-cold-win2022 True True 29h #oc get migration NAME READY RUNNING SUCCEEDED FAILED AGE migration-win2022 True True 27h
5) The Migration failed, check the error as below, more details in attached file: plan-cold-win2022.yaml
#oc get plan plan-cold-win2022 -o yaml ...... error: phase: ConvertGuest reasons: - Guest conversion failed. See pod logs for details. id: "7" luks: {} name: mtv-win2022 phase: Completed
6) Check the converion pod log with error, more details in attached file: conversion-pod-log-plan-cold-win2022-7-2c2p4.log

Actual results:
In step 5,6: The migration plan failed, it try to connect ESXi host with ipv4 address in conversion pod
Expected results:
In step 5,6: Plan executed successfully, connect ESXi host with ipv6 address in conversion pod
