Re: Where I can download the VMware Converter linux version?

Unfortunately Converter does not support software RAID configurations :-(. I think a manual approach would be more feasible here. Here is what Converter does for live Linux conversions

 

  1. Create the target VM with the required hardware configuration
  2. Boots the destination VM from a live Linux ISO and then
  3. Partitions and formats the destination disks
  4. Copies each source filesystem to the destination tar/untar-ing it through a SSH connection to the source
  5. Make the destination VM bootable. This includes
    • Fixing /etc/fstab mount entries
    • Fixing boot loader
    • Rebuilding initrd image on the destination.

You can try to follow the same process. Or you can try to optimize the first part and create 'dd' images of your source disks and restore them in the destination VM. Then you would still need to perform the reconfiguration part in order to make it bootable. HTH.
