• Convert the physical Linux machine with VMware Converter Standalone 4.0.1 on VMware Workstation

  Hello

  I work in a virtualization project, now I test and I want to test the new version of the converter, because I need to convert some Linux machines and I know that with this version is not difficult.

  I do not have the ready virtual infrastructure so I test on a workstation environment. I would like to know if someone has converted a physical Linux machine to virtual and if the destination has VMware workstation 6.5. I know that this is not supported, but this does not mean that you couldn't do.

  When I have to specify the type of destination, I got the error that you could see on the photo.

  Please let me know if you have tested this before and you know how to solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance!

  See you soon

  Malulas,

  Welcome to the Community Forums.

  To do a physical to virtual conversion, you MUST GO to ESX.  It is a requirement under the guidance of the user manual.

  If the virtual machine was already in ESX, you might be able to export to a workstation image while the ESX VM is powered off.

  Sorry for the bad news.

  Kind regards

• convert not up against physical machine to a virtual machine?

  Hello

  My problem is: I have a laptop which is broken due to a hardware problem. I removed the system drive and connected via USB on another machine that is running VMWare.

  When I tried to convert it with VMWare Workstation, there was only the possibility of converting the local system running.

  Is there another way to convert this outstanding system (Vista) on the external hard drive in an ACE VM?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  ignore previous posts - this procedure is the smartest for the work

  create the new virtual machine - add drive - tell physical disk and select the drive in the case of USB - name dthe disc original.vmdk

  Then exit VMware and open a cmd.

  Change directory for vmware-install dir and run vmware-vdiskmanager.

  Read the examples of syntax - then convert the physical disk (originall.vmdk) in an import.vmdk named a virtual - store where you have enough disk space.

  Conversion will take awhile--what doen you can remove the USB cover.

  When doneopen new VMware - launch of the new virtual machine and remove original.vmdk - replace with import.vmdk.

  Last step is to reconfigure with converter - specify the newly created virtual computer vmx-file

• path to convert physical Linux then host on desktop

  Hello

  I'm hoping to use vCenter Converter Standalone to convert a physical Linux server to a virtual machine and host it on VMware Server, VMware Workstation, or an appliance in VMware player on a Windows box. The server to convert is very light so it shouldn't add too much overhead to the host.

  Please could someone provide guidance if this path is possible? Converter Manual states that "the hosted destinations are not supported for the live Linux sources" in the selection of VMware Server as the destination. I currently do not have any type of running VMware environment and would be grateful for any advice.

  Thank you very much.

  Matt

  chinwaa,

  Welcome to the VMware Community Forums!

  The manual is correct, because you have to P2V a Linux system to an ESX host first.  Thereafter, you can v2v down to VMware server.  It is the necessary way because the p2v process should work with features that are only available on ESX.

  Kind regards

• merge multiple physical machines in a virtual

  Hello

  can merge us multiple physical machines in a virtual one? If yes how?

  Thank you.

  Migrate a lot into ONE? Or migrate many virtual medical tests a lot?

  To the subject of one, it isn't not possible with a tool as the tools just prepare the operating system to run on virtual hardware. But it does not work tpuch applications running on the machine. If you want to migrate multiple servers in a single, you P2V one of them and reinstall the applications of other servers on this machine.

  If you want to reach it, yes it is possible with VMware Converter.

• How to set up a USB converter to series on a virtual XP machine

  Envy 17 3D: i7 2090nr: model LV045UA #ABA, Windows 7 Professional

  I am installing a converter USB to COM on a virtual PC XP series. Neither Belkin nor IOGEAR USB to Serial converters are able to accomplish this because they cannot work within a virtual machine, according to their support personnel and I checked it's true.

  Is it possible to install a USB converter to series on a virtual XP machine?

  Kind regards

  It turns out that, integration features have been installed, when I created the virtual machine. In addition to starting the virtual machine, it enables the integration features.

  Based on previous comments by the previous speaker, what I'm trying to cannot be done.

  Thank you for responding.

  You can check the serial number of the machine.

  Something like that

  Import-Csv c:\vmnames.csv -UseCulture |Select Name,@{N="MachineType";E={  if((Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $_.Name Win32_Bios |  select -ExpandProperty SerialNumber) -match "VMware"){"Virtual"}else{"Physical"}}}

• IP address of the Linux virtual machines

  Hello

  I've got ESXi running. When I go to the virtual computers tab in VI Client and configure it to display the IP addresses, only the virtual machines that are windows actually show the IP address. How can I get Linux virtual machines to display IP addresses too?

  Thanks in advance,

  Yes the Vmware tools are what you need.

  Hi all

  I need to convert a template to a virtual machine, but I can't use VC since he is an independent ESX host in a laboratory. How can I do?

• Cannot convert the machine to Windows Server 2008

  I checked all these forums, but the solutions don't help me at this moment. I'm a bit new to Vmware, I can work around most standard tasks. I'm trying my first conversion of a physical to virtual machine. When I try to let the agent deploy it tells me that it is impossible to connect to the network "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\ADMIN$".

  I have enabled file sharing, I ran the net share and sharing is enabled. Is there something that I could be missing?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello and welcome to the forum

  You need to connect to the source computer as administrator or turn off UAC. You must also configure or disable the firewall.

  You can also - install agent converter manually on the source.

• You cannot power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine

  Hello

  Only, I converted a physical blade to a virtual machine running on ESX4 using VMware converter 4. The converted virtual computer is running VMware server 1.0.5 and machines virtual option 2. After the P2V process, I am unable to power on virtual machines in VMware server. I get the following message:

  You cannot power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine

  I see there are some entries that I can put in the vmx file

  monitor_control.vt32 = 'TRUE '.

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'TRUE '.

  However, this does not solve my problem. Is it possible to edit a VMX VMware Server so the virtual prompt runs in a virtual machine of ESX4

  Thanks in advance

  VMware Server 1.x does not support nested virtual machines.  Workstation 7 is the first product with the official support of virtualization nested, although other recent VMware products should work, with some constraints.  See nested running VMs.

• Copy the physical to virtual servers

  Hello

  I'm trying to vrtualizing our server Park.  All domain controllers and file servers are running under two hosts of ESX3.5i.

  We also have a member WSUS and AV win2003 server and an intranet server Debian with a lot of other running services.

  It would be a lot of work to reinstall these two, and if I remember correctly, I heard about the tools that can "virtualize" a physical server.  I think it was by starting a kind of client CD and connect as a 'customer' to ESX and disk image of the physical machine processed and copied on ESX as a virtual machine.

  We got ESX Server 3.5i with our new Dell PowerEdge servers.

  1. the process of 'conversion' above would be possible for us to our win2003 and debian servers?

  2. What is the success rate, and a lot of traps in this process?

  3. do we need to buy more licenses of VMW to convert these two...?

  Thank you very much for the comments on this

  Simply use VMware converter to convert the machines. No, I converted a Debian machine before, so perhaps someone else could chime in on this. You will have no problem with Windows-based computers.
