I assume you have the vm powered down during the process.  Are you following the steps outlined starting on page 18 in the Panorama Admin guide?

HI Steven,

I turned off Panorama, but it still failure.

I read this topic, Block size is cause ?

That looks like it would be an issue.  According to VMware kb1003565

• Note: vSphere 5.0 and later releases have a block size of 1 MB only.
