The title says it all,

I have been strugelling with a windows 2022 VM migration since a while and I cant figure out what is the issue.

most of other VMs are migrating fine with no issue but not this one. I have checked all the settings of the VM but no chance. all space at the destination is find and I have enough space on my storage. opened a case with HPE and we are still troubleshooting.

did anyoine came accross this before?

Hello @mouradb
Based on my understanding, the "No space left on device" error may indicate that the migration process is running out of space on the source, destination, or a temporary/staging location used during the data transfer, even if the destination datastore has sufficient free space.

You could also check whether the VM has any snapshots or unusually large/thin-provisioned disks. Comparing the VM's configuration with a VM that migrated successfully may help identify what is different. HPE Support may also be able to review the migration logs to determine exactly which device is reporting the space issue.
