I see - the esx:// URL won't work (I guess virt-v2v should explicitly
reject these).

Anyway for new virt-v2v you have to have vCenter installed.  It's
available as an OVA that you can install on top of ESXi.  And then the
URL would be:

  vpx://user@vcenter/Datacenter/10.35.5.45?no_verify=1

where 'user' is probably 'administrator' and 'vcenter' is the address
of the vCenter server, and 'Datacenter' is the name of the datacenter
which you had to choose when installing either ESXi or vCenter or you
can find it out from the UI.
