Hello
Converter connect on port 443 for inventory and management, and on port 902 for data transfer.
Though I don't think this is your problem. The log reads:

Seems there is something related to the ESX host's storage.
I'd suggest you get back to the platform forum (don't know which it is) and post more info about the ESX's storage.
