Hello Bob
At this point converter server attempts to upload a sysinfo utility to gather information about the source machine. For that purpose it connects to sshd on the source machine using the supplied credentials. Possible issues could be:
- unable to resolve the host if given by name; workaround - use IP address
- firewall on the road
- sshd configured not to allow connections from converter server's network or not allowing connecting remote root connections (BTW do you connect with root?) Hardly the case as there has been successful attempts.
- successfully deployed sysinfo but something wrong when running it.
Converter worker's log should contain some valuable info. It can be found at %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs
