Hi everybody!
I have a problem with VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 5.5.
I would like to P2V a SLES 11 Linux, but get an error: A general system error occured: <source_server_dns_name>: Connection closed by remote host # <source_server_dns_name> SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1 The authenticity of host <source_server_dns_name> can't be established. Host key fingerprint <source_server_key_fingerprint> verification failed. (return code 1)
In this enviroment:
Converter version: 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 (on Windows Server 2012 R2)
Source server: SLES 11 (physical) and CentOS 6
Destaniation server: vSphere 5.5
All server (converter, source, destination, vcenter) are in same network.
Firewall disabled
Source servers with DSA and RSA key
Source servers with SSH 2
Helper VM with fix IP settings
I configure the Convert XML files, that doesn't use SSL and Helper VM parameter: useSourcePasswordInHelperVm & powerOffHelperVm.
If login to the Helper VM by console, I see, that can connect to source server with SSH, but get the usual question:
"The authenticity of host '<source_server_dns_name>' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is <source_server_key_fingerprint>. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?"
In the source server log seems the Helper VM try to connect (Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for root from <Helper_VM_IP_address> port 55602 ssh), but in waiting state.
If I convert with VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1, there is no problem.
So I have a workaround (convert with 4.0.1 to workstation format, than convert with 5.5.x to ESXi 5.5), but the SLES have big data and I wouldn't like convert two times and I haven't extra storage capacity for the Workstation format.
I didn't find any solution.
Any ideas?
Thank for your help!
