Hello all,
Hoping someone can shed some light on this. I am doing a P2V on a physical server located at site A and the destination ESXi host is also at site A. However, the "destination" field in the VMware converter has to be the vCenter server which is at Site B (over a 6Mb WAN connection) as the destination host is managed by a vCenter server. My question is if I use the vCenter server (located over a WAN connection) as the destination and then pick the host located at the local site in the Converter, will Converter traffic flow over the WAN? Or will it just flow locally from the Source to the Destination and just use the vCenter server as a "authentication" type server for initial setup?
And as a side note, if I set the destination ESXi host as the destination in converter instead of the vCenter server, I get the error shown in this KB. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=2012310
Using Converter 5.5.1
Thanks for your help!
