Importing linked clones with snapshots into ESXi

Hi all,

 

Somewhat new to the details of VMWare, but have been a user for a while. I have a situation that is perplexing and hoping someone can help.

 

I have several virtual machines created on Workstation that I am importing into ESXi 6.0. Most of these are working out fine, but there are a few which are trickier. I have the following vm's:

-Master

-Sys1

-Sys2

-Sys3

-Sys4

-Sys5

 

Sys1-5 are linked clones of Master. To further complicate things, Sys1-5 all have multiple snapshot trees that I would like to preserve. So, for example, Sys1 would look like this:

Sys1

---Sys1a-snap1 -- Sys1a-snap2 -- Sys1a-snap3

---Sys1b-snap1 -- Sys1b-snap2

 

Is there any way to preserve all of this in the import, or is that just a pipe dream? I am using Standalone Converter, which seems to strip vm's of snapshots when it imports into ESXi. Thanks for any help!
