      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'>
