Hello @Pat and @sudhakar,

If you try to import a VM with an already assigned VNC port, you need to first change the port in vCenter and then import it to OpenNebula.

In order to remove a VM in HOLD state:

- `onedb update-body vm --id <ID>`
- Remove the tag `<IMPORTED>`
- `onevm recover --delete-db <ID>`

Best,  
Álex.
