Is there a way to migrate a VMware vm to azure without having access to the vSphere client. I have access to the vm via the esxi host it’s currently on
Hello @DonteMurphyCreativeDC-5831 ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well.
As per our official doc, to migrate VMware VMs using VMware agent-based or agentless migration, ESXi hosts on which VMs are located must be managed by vCenter Server. If you don't have vCenter Server, you can migrate VMware VMs by migrating them as physical servers.
If you have a VMWare ESXi environment without VCenter deployment/access, you can use Azure Migrate tool & migrate your VMWare machines as physical.
Refer : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/migrate-support-matrix-physical-migration
To migrate your VMWare machines as physical, please refer the below docs:
Discover - Support for physical discovery and assessment in Azure Migrate - Azure Migrate | Microsoft Docs
Then Assess - Azure VM assessments in Azure Migrate - Azure Migrate | Microsoft Docs
Then Migrate - Migrate machines as physical servers to Azure - Azure Migrate | Microsoft Docs
Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

This worked great. Machines migrated as physical machines. Thanks
