Re: using p2v to copy from one data center to another
Hello
I assume you do Linux P2V because you mention 'helper'. The process for Linux and Windows P2V is very different hence the limitations too are different.
You should be able to do the conversion (if it was Windows, you probably shouldn't). The network connectivity you need is from the helper (i.e. from the VM network the helper will be on) to the source machine for SSH (port 22 by default). You can verify the connectivity by trying to SSH from another VM in the same network.

P.S I don't know what Abhilash means by suggesting to remove the ESX from the VC, this is irrelevant IMO.

Re: using p2v to copy from one data center to another
Yes, I suppose that's what you are talking about, but I still maintain this is irrelevant.
The error from the KB is seen in the wizard, before submitting the conversion job. OTOH, in caile13's case "converter detects the target vsphere and shows me the directory structure including all the esx hosts and datastores. I can select the one i need and proceed from there." The issue arise after submitting the job, creating, and starting the helper.

Issue converting Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS machine
I am running into an issue while trying to convert an Ubuntu Linux VM. After clicking the finish button on the summary screen I just get an error that says "Unable to create virtual machine 'iceman-test'"
I checked the worker log and found the following 2 errors:
2015-04-30T11:26:23.793-04:00 [04472 error 'Default'] VmTransformerImpl::SeparateBootDisk: Unable to find VirtualDisk for diskId=fake-disk-from-vg(system)
2015-04-30T11:26:23.794-04:00 [04472 error 'Default'] TargetVmManagerImpl::CreateVM: Vm creation failed with error Invalid argument : VmTransformerImpl::SeparateBootDisk: Unable to find VirtualDisk for an active volume
I found another article here suggesting the issue might be with swap, so, I tried to work around that by disabling it to recreate it later but that did not work.
Attached is the full worker log.

Converter keeps trying to install the agent
Hi
I am trying to P2V a server on a separate subnet but the the following box just keeps popping up:
HOWEVER - when I go to the server that I am trying to P2V, the Converter agent service is installed and running. Any ideas?
↧
Re: Converter keeps trying to install the agent
Could you upload log bundle?
Otherwise you can install the agent on your source machine manually and then do the conversion.

Re: vmware converter asks for a vcenter server - can this be bypassed?
Thanks that's a good idea. In this conversion type, does the vm get sysprepped?

Re: vmware converter asks for a vcenter server - can this be bypassed?
sysprep is not run automatically, but you select it explicitly in the conversion wizard.

Converting Server With Two Disks
Hi,
I am wanting to convert a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine to a VM. The machine has two disk drives one being the C drive and other being the D drive. Will VMware converter virtualise both disks at once or does it have to be virtualised separately?
Thanks,
Jon

Re: Converting Server With Two Disks
Both. Unless you explicitly select only one.

Re: Converting Server With Two Disks
Both should be convert equally. as its an physical machine, you cant migrate the second disk later.
whole operation should need to be completed in a once shot.

V2V downgrades memory
Hi Guys,
We are trying to do a V2V using VMware standalone converter 5.1 from 4.1 cluster to 5.1 cluster.
After migration it downgrades memory to 4GB, whereas original memory is 8GB for that virtual machine.
We are not customising virtual machine while migration.
has anybody seen this in past
Thanks

Re: V2V downgrades memory
One thing VM hardware version is upgraded to 7 from 4 during this migration.

Re: V2V downgrades memory
Thats really weird . Never seen this problem before.
Did you checked the agent and client logs . Found anything. Can share so we can review those logs.

Very Slow P2V speed
Hello All,
I am trying to perform P2V on a couple of my physical machines, however so far I am getting only 6MB/s speed (with SSL disabled) and 3MB/s speed (with SSL enabled by default). The connection is point-to-point, i.e. The source physical machine is connected directly to the ESXi server without any intermediary switch. The connection speed is 1Gbps as both the source and the destination have 1Gb NICs. I have tried many Converter versions (4.3, 5.1, 5.5, 6) but the results are similar. I even powered off all powered-on VMs in the destination ESXi servers. During P2V, the CPU usage, Memory and Disk I/O of both the source and destination ESXi server are normal.
For what it's worth, here are my ESXi server's specs:
IBM x3650 M3, Intel Xeon X5660 @ 2.8Ghz, 32GB RAM, 2TB local datastore (no SAN, NFS, etc)
I have read and heard that there are those who can achieve 30-40 MB/s. Any ideas why my P2V speed is so slow?

Re: V2V downgrades memory
hey Anjani, yes did have a look at agent logs (vmware-converter-server) logs but it comes up with 4GB itself, and doesn't say if anybody changed it.
Client logs are not relevant in case of Linux machines. That's what I understand from KB: 1010633
Unfortunately I cant share logs because of security issue.
If we rerun that job, it picks up 4GB only. Next plan is to run a fresh job and see if it picks up correct compute or not.
Appreciate your response
Thanks

Physical to virtual error (A general system error occurred: SSL execution: unexpected EOF)
Hi Everyone,
I'm running ESXi 6 on a Dell desktop machine with sufficient memory and processing power. I' trying to convert a physical windows server 2008 R2 to virtual for some testing purpose. I've installed 'VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client' locally on the server and then trying to convert it to virtual server on the ESXi. On the step when it ask the ESX server detail it is showing me an error 'A general system error occurred: SSL execution: unexpected EOF'. I've tried doing this on another server as well but same issue. Please help me.

Re: Physical to virtual error (A general system error occurred: SSL execution: unexpected EOF)
Hm, what version of Converter are you using? Try the latest Converter 6.0.

Re: Physical to virtual error (A general system error occurred: SSL execution: unexpected EOF)
Currently I'm using version 5 and 5.5. Let me try with 6.
