• vCenter Converter Standalone to vSphere Hypervisor

  Here's the situation.

  I would like to P2V convert an existing Windows 2000 Server and put the new virtual server in vSphere Hypervisor 5.1.

  Is this possible with the free vCenter Converter Standalone?  What version of the converter is what I use for P2V Server 2000 machine and I then have to use an older version of ESXI instead of vSphere Hypervisor 5.1?

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you

  The VMware converter, you can download it here... (https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/evalcenter?p=converter) Click on the license and download tab and log in to your my account of VMware. You should see the latest version and all the last one available for download.

  ESXi 4.0, you can download it here... (https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi&lp=default). Once again, same procedure, click on the license and download tab and log in to your my account of VMware. You should see 4.1 and below (4, 4 Update 1... and so on) available for download.

  Good luck

• What Version of Vcenter Converter to install?

  Hello world

  New to the Group and have recently played with VMWare. Our 3 Vcenter servers run v4.1. I wanted to P2V a machine

  to one of our guests and noticed, Vcenter Converter we had not installed on Vcenter server.  When I looked

  to this he said Converter 4.2, installed and tried to start it. Came back with an error of not finding a configuration file and

  that I should reinstall the software.  Following a vmware doc, it was suggested that I go to the Vcenter server and uninstall the

  conversion software, uninstalled both the converter and the customer. Now trying to find the right version of the converter to reinstall.

  Watching downloads I am presented with 4.3 standalone - it would be OK?

  My apologies for the level of detail in the question, trying to FYI as well as ask.

  Converter 4.3 is the current version, although there is also a public beta version of Converter 5.0 (http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/beta/public_converter_50) that works really well. However, you also need to consider that comments of the operating systems you want to convert. The most recent versions of the converter do not support for example Windows NT and 2000.

  Hi all

  Once the converter VMware-converter-en - 5.5.1 - 1682692 does not work, with a touch of friend uninstall the 5.5 version of Converter Standalone Client, look for the VMware converter version - 4.0.0 - 146302 and install this version to the other machine. No not that I had to be Converter, but the windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

  After this race, the Standalone Client 4.4 Converter and everything work fine.

  Now I have the P2V converted and good machine, as was the real operation!

• vSphere vCenter - vCenter 4.0 Update 1 resolution VM issues slow because the disk i/o latency?

  vSphere vCenter - vCenter 4.0 Update 1 resolution VM issues slow because the disk i/o latency?

  My client is slow VM problems that appear to be disk I/O latency on Hitachi storage 1000. I heard in VMware meetings vCenter 4.0 Update 1 solves these problems... without any explanation as to why.

  Rumor is that "after working all the angles of the slowness of the virtual machine including vmtools hardware version, latency of storage, etc. called VMware support and advised to get vCenter to U1 to solve the 'known problem' VM performance issues." "U1 fact and problem solved.

  It is VMware User meeting and I have no other details.

  Customer did not of U1 and having problems of slowness VM believes may be due to the assets/Hitachi 1000 s and favorite paths questions (known to cause problems). Preferred fixed pathing but questions continue.

  My limited participation in the issue of troubleshooting in the date limit information available now. It is just an issue if 'known problem' exists and is known to be resolved via U1 vCenter or ESX 4.0 U1?

  Not vCenter 4.0 Update 1 solve disk i/o latency issues considered the slow pace of the vm? Why?

  All points will be awarded.

  that strike!  You can use round robin or MRU for active/passive.

• VMware Vcenter converter

  Hello

  I installed the software Vcenter converter in German on a computer Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) with 8 GB of RAM and a lot of disk space.

  I would like to convert an existing server to Linux (Ubuntu Server 12.04, near the production environment) in a virtual machine. I would like to 'play' with this virtual machine using VMWare player on another Windows computer in a test environment.

  However, in the German version of the converter, the following error message appears: "Die zur performance of Vorgangs wurde verweigert detonation. Which means roughly translated: 'authorization to run which was rejected. "

  I've specified the Linux machine with the IP address, gave to the root user and the respective password. I can access this computer via putty with root and password via port 22, I checked several times.

  What could be the problem?

  Thanks in advance and best regards,

• VMware vcenter converter standalone physical conversion to virtual stuck to the completion of 81% for several days

  Hello everyone I have an interesting question, I'm physical conversion to virtual pointing to the new virtual directly on the server esx conversion would set schedule for a day. But now, it's just stuck at 81% and not go further! I don't get any errors of ideas? questions are there a basis that I can look to see what is happening? Is there a way I can fix it without start over again. There are enough resources on the destination esx I had to change the hard drive space for destination and ram, but done nothing radical imprint more small which I think should do better.

  It's an interesting case, you have here. I guess that conversion is complete, but somehow you do not see or a deadlock occurred.

  Anyway you will probably be able to export logs to the customer. Go to the directory of newspapers to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs (for WP/W3K) or vCenter Converter Standalone\logs %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware (for Vista +) and find the log of the last worker (vmware-converter-worker - .log #). The status of the conversion is currently connected. Take a look, or that she has finished, is still running, is stuck.

  If he has you can try restarting the client and/or server converter service. Do not stop the worker service unless you are sure that there is no conversion running!

• Save an ESXi 4.0 virtual using the VCenter Converter Standalone

  I'm having a 'moment' here because it's been a while since I've done it.

  I have a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine running on ESXI 4.1. I want to make a one-time backup of the virtual. It's a Terminal Server I don't need of daily backups, etc.

  I have it in mind that I can do this with the VCenter Converter Standalone. I downloaded and installed version 5 of this.

  When I tried to communicate with the virtual virtual "Machine VMWare Infrastructure" using the converter drop-down I get this:

  Unable to reach the specified host 192.168.254.154. The host may not be available... or management on this host services do not react.

  The IP address is correct. Am I missing something here? Management services? I put the VM converter on this virtual server Client?

  The goal is to get the hard local machine in order to restore it in case of failure.

  Thank you very much.

  Mike Gallery

  you will need to have comments turned off for export as OVF, but you don't need to use the converter.

  Also, in the future, if you use the converter and a source of 'VMware Infrastructure virtual machine', the virtual machine must thus put off.

  .. .and to return the FVO in your inventory... File - deploy OVF

• VCenter Converter - Question on the process

  Thanks, I'm out here with you nice people, I am currently a migration old (but loyal and faithful) Windows Advanced Server 2000 to my ESXi server.

  My question is what is happening during the conversion of the VCenter Converter running. I'm a convert about 100 GB of things. The estimated time of competition is about 17 hours.

  There is a drive C: and D: drive drive E:. When I do this for a client, I wonder if there will be data loss. More precisely, suppose that a service is running on the C: collecting data. In my case, it's true. I have a product called Spamlion goes filters email before it goes to my Exchange Server.

  Once the conversion of drive C: is complete and, I guess, the Spamlion service is restarted by the converter, not emails that come in this server * not * be copied onto the hard I create? More simply, if I had to save some .pdf on the C: drive after the C: drive has been converted would not these data * not * do more to the hard?

  When I migrate a company of Small Business Server to server ESXi will be I have to stop incoming messages and access to the server during the conversion to avoid users to save data to the SBS until I bring the ESXi virtual machine?

  Thank you very much!

  Mike Gallery

  Converter does NOT support the consintency restart or application services.

  This case, you have to malleable.

  The right way is stop all services before you start the conversion, and then start the virtual machine (reconfigure to fixed IP and remove the old drivers), then check if the services start again.

  To convert an SBS or an AD domain controller you must stop the AD, so away 2003 or earlier, you must run in AD restore mode.

• Cannot complete the installation of the agent vCenter Converter on server %. Error code 1 603

  I have attemptred to convert a Server Windows 2000 Server SP4 on a server of VMware ESXi 4.1.

  I started the process of a PC Windows XP running VMware converter-all-4.3.0 - 292238 and I got the error "could not complete the installation of the agent vCenter Converter on server %. Error 1 603 "code.

  Read in the forums, it seems that the correct version of VMware Converter Standalone is up to 4.1: is this correct?

  To solve the problem, I installed VMware converter standalone 3.x on Windows 2000 box, but I don't think it's the best choice.

  Can someone please help understandiong what is the proper way to convert a Windows 2000 Server?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Faced with the same problem.

  Solution: manually install the agent of vmware converter on the machine that you want to convert. Choose install Cusotm and only install the agent (client or server)

  See you soon
