Re: Unable to P2V Windows 2003x64 server - An error occured while opening a virtual disk
Unfortunately the most important log - the agent's one is missing, Get it from source/physical machine at location %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Agent Standalone\logs.
Also - you need an access from source/physical machine to ESX at port 902!

Re: Unable to P2V Windows 2003x64 server - An error occured while opening a virtual disk
Please check whether the Windows server is able to resolve the ESXi hosts' name. If DNS doesn't work, add the destination ESXi host(s) to the Windows server's hosts file.

Re: Unable to P2V Windows 2003x64 server - An error occured while opening a virtual disk
I see in agent's log there is a problem with communication with esxi servers.
Port 902 is opened, but sorce machine could not resolve dns names of esx hosts.
I don't know why source machine have to resolve esxi host names, I thought that is only need to resolve vCenter machine?!
Now is ok, thanks a lot!

Re: Unable to P2V Windows 2003x64 server - An error occured while opening a virtual disk
That was the problem! It's strange, I am not sure I add esx dns names on source before, althouh I didn't do P2V last 2 years...
Now it works, thanks a lot Andre.

vmware vcenter converter standalone client synchronize not working
Dear all;
i installed a free version of vmware vcenter converter standalone 5.5.3 from vmware site . i trying to convert a Physical machine to virtual machine and everything is OK and working for win xp and win 7 but synchronize not working (synchronize not active). Please can anyone help me urgently ???

Re: vmware vcenter converter standalone client synchronize not working
Read the User's Manual to see how incremental sync is performed.
Generally you must declare task as synchronization one when starts *first* conversion in Advanced tab.

Can any one help with resolving this issue? I 'm using VMware Converter stand alone and have a backup copy from Acronis of Vista 32 in the form of a .tib.

Convert Linux Physical to VMWare using Converter Stanalone
Have a vcenter 192.168.62.10 (no admin permission to login)
Will convert a Physical Linux centos 192.168.62.20 to VMWare
We have 2 ESXi server 192.168.62.100 and 62.200
In case to convert it, we created a win2003 (192.168.62.30) VM, and installed Converter standalone 5.5 on it
Error: after we went through each step, able to connect to linux via root, setup vcenter ip as host, and pickup 62.100 as VM lost to locate the new VM;
setup helper network, assign a new IP 192.168.62.31 to it, it running into process, waiting for long time and failed
Question:
1. Is this converter only running on vcenter? I have to login vcenter to install the converter and running there?
2. if my way reasonable, how to make it work?
Thanks
Michael

Re: Acronis backup file .tib
Hi,
maybe you used an unsupported Acronis version to create the tib?
You can see here: https://www.vmware.com/support/converter/doc/conv_sa_552_rel_notes.html#interop
what versions are supported

Re: Convert Linux Physical to VMWare using Converter Stanalone
Hello Michael
You can install Converter server on any Windows machine. What you need to take care of is the connectivity requirements - see p.25 in user guide. Specifically, in case of Linux P2V, the destination VM (on the virtual network specified) must be able to connect to the source machine.

Re: Acronis backup file .tib
You can run your VM and convert it as physical machine - then the version of tib file doesn't matter.

P2V of Windows - IP address on destination VM
Is it ok to configure a different IP address(different from physical source machine) on the destination virtual machine after a P2V conversion? (Windows P2V)
↧
Re: P2V of Windows - IP address on destination VM
If you put the same IP addresses there will be conflict. Also keep in mind that network adapter is changed and VM will be with different MAC.

Re: P2V of Windows - IP address on destination VM
Like told by POCEH, the destination virtual machine will have a different MAC address and you will need configure IP address again to the virtual machine... you can user a different IP address or the same of the source, but to use the same IP address you need shutdown the old physical server or remove/change the IP address of physical server to avoid IP address conflict.

Vmware Converter Standalone
Hello
I have also tried creating a Virtual machine with this software from a multi boot hard drive with three partitions, 3 different operating systems. I select only one partition to VM such as vista does anyone know if this can cause any issues and would cause the VM to fail because it being a multi boot drive? Does anything have to be done or configured differently ? I have made several attempt's with this procedure trying to create a virtual machine to use in VM Player 6.0. Thanks for your help, please advise.
Thanks

Boot failed with linux after conversion (Xen -> ESX)
Hi All,
I have been trying to convert my virtual machine running on Xen hypervisor, and the convert was success. However, when I tried to boot the server at the target ESX, it failed to do it. The symptom is that
- Redhat 6.x: the screen did not show anything and the scroll lock key was on and off (I heard this is a kernel panic).
- CentOS 6.x: the last message shown on the screen was "Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok".. I assume that EDD probing was success.. but after that, the kernel panics.
The source virtual machine partition below looks very normal to me. There are no special kernel arguments passed.

Re: Convert Linux Physical to VMWare using Converter Stanalone
Will double check the network setup, esp. vcenter network setup
According to the original post, they are all in same network, 192.168.62.0/24
update info
they are in same network
Physical server has eth2 setup as 192.168.62.20
from 62.30, it was ok to ping 62.10, but when converting job launched, it lost connection, helper network set as 192.168.62.241
Found vmnet1 and vmnet8 network in win2003 server, 192.168.8.1, and 192.168.182.1
Setup new converter helper network as 192.168.8.2, hanging on 1%, from 62.30 (local), can't ping 8.2
After 3 hours, error showa
Error: Unable to connect to the Converter helper server on the destination virtual machine.
Should I setup helper network as 192.168.62.x, 192.168.182.x, or 102.168.8.x, or just use 192.168.8.1?
Thanks
