• Preferred solution for P2V (vCenter Converter or VEEAM)

  I am analyzing and is about to convert a list of the physical servers in vmware VMs and I was wondering what is the best solution to use. Use vCenter Converter or VEEAM? I want to know what most people use out there and all the pros and cons with each of them.

  Thanks in advance.

  As far as I know, Veeam does not have any tool for p2v conversion. So, in this case, you'd better stick to VMware vCenter Converter. However, once the physical VMs remaining are converted, you will need something to save them. That's exactly where Veeam can become very useful for you.

  See you soon.

• scheduling P2V using converter

  We have recently upgraded to 4.1 and 4.3 VCS converter.

  Now, I can't program a P2V more... someone knows what happened to this function. It was quite convenient

  Thanks in advance

  Hello.

  Don't you have to "Import a machine" in the list of scheduled tasks?  If this is not the case, make sure that the vCenter Converter plugin is installed.

  Good luck!

• Speed of P2V using Converter Standalone

  It has been a while since I P2V was something and I wanted to do a survey to see if there was something wrong with my setup or if that's just how Converter works.

  It is not a real P2V - I'm trying to move a virtual machine from a test server (ESXi 3.5) on our new production server (4.0) of vSphere. I used Standalone Converter to move the virtual machine, but he said he would take a whopping 6 hours. Converter was about 5-6 MB/s during the show, but our HDD 30 GB said that he would take 5 hours, which does not match correctly.

  Converter is usually this slow? Network cards are set to 1000-Full and our switch is set to Auto/Auto on ports.

  Hello

  I've been using VMware converter for several years and it allmost seems that the better (more), he gets - it gets the slower.

  Nowadays (build 4.0.1 161434) it is not uncommon for as little as 2 MB/s when it runs file copy level. Copies of level block and volume runs faster, but then you can't change of disksizes.

  My advice? Just be patient G

• How long for P2V to convert a Windows XP Pro machine?

  I have read the FAQ and can't find a rough estimate of the time to be allocated per GB for a P2V conversion. I need to convert portable en Windows XP Pro 80 from my boss as it moves to a new machine, and he wants to know how long it will take. I have converted the machines before, but I never stand-over to see how long it takes actually. About how long should it take to perform the P2V conversion a 80GB machine? Is there a simple rule like 1 minute per GB or something?

  Converter will find both drives, so there is no additional needs to be done.  Insofar as a book of recipes, the best that I can offer is the User Guide

  Oh another thing... Go to ESX (i) make sure that you replace the drive HARD IDE by SCSI, if in step 3 of the conversion process

• Questions of P2V

  What chance do I take off the extra processor on a virtual server after I finished a P2V?

  If the virtual now shows 2 CPU, is it consuming two hearts?

  The virtual disk that results will always be a single file, size combined physical volumes or can I dismantle them to account for what was on the physical?

  P2V Plan Colidation of the VCenter collect enough data to return information?

  Thank you

  Convert attempt to create a VM with the same numer of base (with a limit of 4 core per VM to ESX 3.x).

  But probably you will really use each of them.

  You can start your virtual machine, do a follow-up CPU to see if you need more than 1 base, and then choose.

  If possible, always use the minimum number of vcore.

• 2 questions about V2V with Converter Standalone 4.3

  I have an s on esx 4.0 with some VM Windows production environment.  Esx 4.0 host are moving to a new location with scheduled within a few days.  To minimize the impact that I had planned to get up a VM host and V2V temp the VM, then when the original kit back in his new house them V2V.

  I just built a temp esxi 4.1 host and did a V2V test that went ok (ish). The main problem I encountered was that the static IP address is not used.  So my 1st question is: is it possible for a migrated VM keep its static ip address configuration?

  Secondly, will I encounter any issues V2V ing those VMS back to an old version of VMWare is i.e. esxi 4.1 = > esx 4.0?

  not upgarding vmware tools might work around this or it would be perhaps better to stand at another temp esx 4.0 Server?

  Thank you very much

  It works without any problem - there are no traps.

  If you are worried about it, clone a virtual machine and copy the files for the cloned VM, then run it on the new ESX as a test.

  You do not have a lot to focus on

• Question of P2V

  I have a server with the following disk configuration:

  1 C

  2 D

  3 E

  I need only drive E p2v.  I tried to import the machine, but it seems that I have to select the C drive as well.  Is it possible that I can only select drive E?

  Thank you

  None... You create a new virtual machine, and then use something like robocopy to get data from drive E: of the old to the new.

  .. .or P2V box, resize the C: minimum, not to bring on the D:.  Bring E: when the conversion is complete, remove the e: inventory of the guest, and then destroy the virtual machine, create a new and for drive E: "disk use existing.

• Try to run a P2V on Linux (RHEL5) server for the first time, may not know how to get * started *.

  Hi - I'm trying to figure out how do a P2V for a Linux (RHEL5) server, and everything I find documentation seems to start with, «now that you have the Converter Wizard run...» »

  (Linux Linux Linux, no NOT of Windows)

  Can I buy a vowel on how / where can I Start, from the beginning, please?

  I am running VMware VirtualCenter 2.5.0 (build 119598) using VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5.0 (build 119826), and everything works fine.

  I have the plugin VMware Converter Enterprise 4.0.2 installed and enabled on the virtual circuit.

  I downloaded archive VMware Converter (autonomous) "Converter-4 - 146302.tar.gz", but have not yet installed all this anywhere.

  I can't find anything in the VC on the converter, beyond that the plugin is installed and activated, so I guess that I don't start the conversion process.

  Here's my question:

  The converter is supplied with a server, a Client and an Agent.

  Simply install the Agent on the physical Linux box I want to convert, the Agent and the customer, all three pieces or what?

  Once I have some parts I need installed on the physical area Linux, start the conversion from here, or from the VC or what?

  Y at - there a page somewhere that describes it in a way that is useful for someone who has never done this before?

  Any help, pointers, advice, suggestions, acts of mercy greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  OK, this isn't really as complicated as you make it to be:

  1. you ran Setup on a machine that can reach the source and the ESX on the network.  You are trying to install 'this' or ' only that. "  You install.  The only difference between a "local installation" and "installation of client server", is that it allows you to install the client on another machine and control the Converter on this other server machine.  Maybe it's not necessary for you, but it does not hurt so I always do.

  2. you start the Client of converter (vmware-converter-customer) on a machine where you installed everything.

  3. you choose the IP accessible (from ESX) the source for the source power Linux machine remotely.

  4. you select the target ESX (or the Victoria Cross, but there is really no point, you can simply point directly to the target ESX).

  5. you enter a static IP address of VM for assistance if necessary.

  6. you look at the progress meter and see the conversion complete.  You don't need to worry about what anyone else unless you have a firewall preventing circulation.

  P.S., Another user has published this guide to make a LInux P2V with converter, you may find useful:

• How to convert ObjectProxy object [no one can answer this question?  :(]

  Hello

  Calling a web service with the resultFormat value e4x. When I get the result, it is in XML format. What I need is to convert it to a custom type, object of value (which is actually a class generated from WSDL). I couldn't find a way to do this. So I used a SimpleXMLDecoder to decode for a generic object. Now my problem is that all objects nested inside this generic object are of type 'ObjectProxy '. So I can't convert them my nested valuables.

  So now I finally need is one of the 2 following things:

  1. a way to convert the ObjectProxy to my custom type value object.

  Or

  2. a way to directly analyze the XML result to my type of Custom value object.

  Please let me know if I need to provide some details.

  Help, please... This one is really kill me now...

  Thanks in advance!

  I know the poster original for that matter will probably not get it, but it is not the intention of this post... I just spent the last 6 hours trying to find the answer to the question: How do I convert an ObjectProxy to my object?

  Well here is the answer for any other googlers who find this post (as it is on the first page of results for "objectproxy object cast")

  Let's say you have a service call which returns a generic object type.  "In the SOAP, you might see the xml tag resulting as.  In flex, it almost always will convert this to an ObjectProxy class.  You will find that out the object isn't exactly simple and cast to the desired type is also is no more.

  Here's how you do it, and it's actually VERY simple once you know what you need to do:

  First of all, you must convert the ObjectProxy in an object type.  To do this, you must use the namespace "object_proxy" itself.  Here's the code to do

  Import mx.utils.ObjectProxy;

  Import mx.utils.object_proxy;

  var myObjectProxy:ObjectProxy = new ObjectProxy (myStronglyTypedObject);

  var obj:Object = myObjectProxy.object_proxy::object;

  This code there will be 'myObjectProxy' and pull on the original object in a general object variable (NOTE: the reference to object is read only according to the docs.)  It is only half the battle though, as at the time, you still need to throw your object to return.  I've read in several sources that you can use a method "as MyType" to convert the object from there, but I couldn't get this to work.  Traditional molding (i.e. MyType (obj)) leads to a runtime error as well.  They can work for you if call proxy your object from an existing flex object, but will NOT work if you tire of an ObjectProxy response service.  Either way, however, the solution is just shorter to type in the case that you he shot of an intervention of service call:

  import com.adobe.serializers.utility.TypeUtility;

  obj = com.adobe.serializers.utility.TypeUtility.convertToStrongType (obj, MyType);

  (if you are unable to access this method, you should probably add the serializers.swc of the framework to your build path:)

  Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 root Directory\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flexbuilder.project_4.5.1.313231\dcradSwcs\4.5\libs\s erializers.swc

  This will convert your object to the type you want it to be.

  AND YOUR DONE.  No more looking for people to answer full and not more to convert your service calls to e4x instead.

  Now, if you want to know why it works but casting is not sticking around... If you don't like it, don't waste your time to read the rest of the present:

  Why that your other service calls can analyze data from a response xml SOAP at any predefined by the SOAP service, but casting this type proxy version does not work?

  Your service calls are generated dynamically from the SOAP data, then of course flex "just don't know" how to do... and your SOAP objects do not extend the object class... so what gives?

  If you look at the web service generated dynamically in flex code, you will see that each service call says what should be the result type.  Then the whole AbstractOperation (your client-side web service class) is given a convertResultHandler function that retrieves the data from the result and converts the type defined by the service.  You will not get very far just look at the code if it's away from the abstract.  But if you look at the code of serializers.swc update (you'll have to decompile it) will give you an idea of what it is that makes handler function.  Basically, this handler function takes and checks whether it is an ArrayCollection/table collection or an object and then differs from conversion of the object/table to separate the functions called 'convertToStrongType' and 'convertListToStrongType '.  These functions take a class in your object, convert it and return the past of conversion class.  Bingo.

  Now, you'll see that you can take this object and use the functions convertToStrongType and convertListToStrongType with the EFA serializers to run the conversions you need.  The advantage of this is that these functions are the SAME FUNCTIONS ACCURATE who manage the conversion of your objects in the webservice result, so you can pretty much bet that you will lose all the data like you would with reflection level unique and such utilities.

  As a side of the usefulness of this note.  If you have a c# return of web service which returns a type of list object, which means you can run in all kinds of different items in the same list, then you can use this in conjunction with a mark of the object function to determine the object type to perform conversions.

  I REALLY hope this helps some other people to save themselves from pulling their hair or lose whole days trying to figure the answer before moving on to some power of the wall facility that will make your code more complex!

• P2V sync after conversion post cleaning

  Hello

  I have been quite successful with P2V using converter by following this process.

  (1) perform P2V

  2) switch on VM (with disconnected network), install vmware tools, assign a static IP, remove the software/hardware provider (lack of cards network, management of the raid, raid controller, etc.)

  (3) physical power-off and turn on the virtual network

  My question concerns the use of synchronization. If I P2V one machine and does not final synchronization, what happens to the new virtual machine, if I do all the steps in option #2 above and then synchronize changes later? I'll give you an example of why I ask this. I perform a P2V at 20:00, do all my cleanup I mentioned in #2 and then turns off the virtual machine. The next morning, the owner of the app is available in performs a synchronization of the P2V, physical stops and then turns on VM.

  I guess what I'm asking is, if necessary, sanitation won't work I did the night before being lost, or cause problems with synchronization?

  I usually have the app owner easily available to test the P2V immediately, is not the next morning/afternoon

  Thank you

  Mark

  Hello

  A conversion synchronization resets all of your changes, you did after you turn on the virtual machine. In fact, it is even more, I'll explain in a moment. However you can do all these steps as a preliminary test to verify that everything works fine.

  Now on why sync-ing back to the virtual machine. Conversion about consist of two parts - cloning and reconfiguration, in this case the cloning copy disk blocks. To make synchronization to work, a driver on the source machine follows the changed blocks so that only they are copied during synchronization. Reconfiguration made tweaks to system files and the registry so that the VM to start in a virtual hardware environment. In doing so, it changes some blocks that could have been changed on the source machine, too. Therefore, after each clone and just before the reconfiguration, the destination VM is instantaneous. She returned to this snapshot right before the cloning of the next synchronization. The stuff you did in step 2) are logically as a kind of reconfiguration, although some are not automatically made by the converter.

  OTOH installation tools and configuration of the IP address are automatically. However, some things are made only on the final synchronization, as stopping services on the source, turn off the source VM part and the customization process, which puts a static IP address. I'm not completely sure, but think that the installation of the tools is also done on final sync only.

• P2V one resource to Cluster MS and not to the cluster nodes

  Hello!

  We are looking to do a P2V on our file servers, which are all 2 node A / P SAN connected MS Cluster. I see articles where people work to convert the cluster nodes themselves and then have the MS Cluster running on ESX - this isn't what I want to do.

  I've not seen any (covered by a research brief) mention of any attempt to make a virtual server Cluster MS. P2V conversion Looks like it is the best deal if it worked.

  So I FS1 as the virtual resource with N1 and N2 as nodes.  Can I run a P2V of FS1 crowd for a disk system to capture all the action, then just RDM the SAN LUNS to the VM FS1 newly created? Or am I stuck with the creation of a third node, clustered, expelling the original, closing nodes cluster services and then rename or uses DNS to point to the FULL FS1 domain name?

  Thank you!

  I know that sounds a good idea but any time
  I tried P2V ING I ended up regretting the MSCS clusters. For the file
  & Print sharing there is some direct negative side effects but for
  The SQL cluster, it is very messy. You can not P2V the virtual server name
  (FS1) directly, you must break the cluster and migrate the
  individual nodes. But as I said it's a bad idea in any case.

  If these are just some cluster file server then the easiest thing to do
  is just export actions (they are just a registry key), build a new
  clean the VM, attach the existing data as a RDM disk and import the
  registry keys. Once your happy that it work, rename the machine as
  the former name of virtual node.

• Extensions for Photos for Mac; can convert RAW Photos?

  Downloaded "2016 creative Kit" on the site of macphun fairly recently so don't always do not have much with CK apps. I like the clean interface of Snapheal and intensify and had a go using these with the opening and Photos: the process is smoother with Photos; with Aperture, retouching a given photo tends to take more time to commute between a software for the back and other feels a bit 'hectic' (a closing and another opening, with the visible screen between the two...).

  So I intend to spend some time at the Photos now. The question is: can you convert RAW?

  Photos may develop all RAW formats supported by Mac OS X, see: Digital camera RAW formats supported by OS X El Capitan - Apple Support

  For a very good RAW support, you can also try DxO Optics Pro Extension for Photos.
