Description of problem：
Virt-v2v can't convert guest from maintained ESXi hosts with vddk > 6
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-2.5.2-1.el9.x86_64
libguestfs-1.50.1-7.el9.x86_64
nbdkit-1.36.2-1.el9.x86_64
libnbd-1.18.1-3.el9.x86_64
libvirt-libs-10.0.0-6.2.el9_4.x86_64
qemu-img-8.2.0-11.el9_4.1.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps:
1. Turn ESXi host into in maintenance mode on vsphere client
2. Can dump guest libvirt xml from maintained ESX8.0.1i host by virsh
# virsh -c vpx://administrator%40vsphere.local@10.73.212.129/data/10.73.225.34/?no_verify=1 dumpxml esx8.0-win11-x86_64-uefi-vtpm Enter administrator@vsphere.local's password for 10.73.212.129: <domain type='vmware' xmlns:vmware='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/vmware/1.0'> <name>esx8.0-win11-x86_64-uefi-vtpm</name> <uuid>4220a166-b294-5d2b-d70c-34386e02f154</uuid> <genid>10e431a4-e8b5-98ee-3d35-41db3d40fc9e</genid> <memory unit='KiB'>8388608</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>8388608</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu> <cputune> <shares>2000</shares> </cputune> <os firmware='efi'> <type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type> </os> ......
