SOW for P2V and V2V
Hello
I'm new to VMware and still did not register in any activity related to vsphere 5 again. Currently, my company has an agreement that needs me to run a P2V and V2V exercise for 800 server in a company and I don't know what that should I have to prepare for the conversion to succeed.
There are a few question I wanted to ask and hope that all of you who are expert on that can provide me with a guide to archive this task
Scenario:
A company must consolidate all servers in site A, through p2v and v2v and bring them to site B and pull up all machines in a Cloud environment.
Issues related to the:
1. do I need an ESXi host and storage SAN (virtual infrastructure environment) to store all the converted machines from which this converted machine will be transferred to the cloud to be use on a remote site?
2. If my client wanted to store all machines converted in the (NFS) network attached storage and import them into the Cloud Computing environment, this will be done using vmware vcenter converter?
3. If I'm using vcenter converter 5, what is the conversion format suitable that I need to use in order for the converted servers to be used in the cloud?
4. I have the program installation and virtual environment that consist of esxi host and iscsi storage, I convert a power on machine virtual infrastructure format and launch successfully in the esxi host. Problem is that I couldn't find an option to import a virtual machine since the converted file (NFS) and that's why I need to confirm if what format are suitable for the mentioned script so that I can import the converted NFS/SAN storage server.
5. What are the other information I might need to know about this situation as:
- Hardware compatibility for legacy server to participate in the activity of p2v
- Activate the service ports of the network firewall/ports that must be for the conversion process
Grateful if you guys (expertise) can give me advice to make it happen. Thank you in advance and hope you guys can answer this question.
Hi Eric
I'm not sure I understand your request of stil. The closest thing I associate is the command "Add to inventory" in "Datastore browser" in vSphere client. If this is the case, it opens a wizard to help you to choose the host ESX (the one who can see the data store). However it has nothing to do with the converter. In fact it is about adding to the inventory, not import.

Hi David,

How Vmware Converter can be used for P2V or V2V

Thank you!

Installation on your VMware Server is better, then you can leave the converter cover/locate your VMware Server images locally. This method will ask you to turn off your virtual machines.
Another method is P2V as that can be done while the virtual machine is running. On source, use your IP VM and destination for your ESX host.

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.

Hey there Scotchman2926,
I understand that you are experiencing some problems with Apple music on Sierra. I have a few suggestions to help you solve this problem. First of all, if you are unable to access the iTunes Store as well as music from Apple, use the information in this article to help resolve this problem:
If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If this does not resolve the problem, you might try signing out of your Apple ID in iTunes and then connect again.
Thanks to be come to the communities of Apple Support and let us know how it goes.

I need to know how to set up Outlook to Calenders and overide iCloud contact.
If you use Outlook on iCloud, you can go in the iPad and add the account to import your Outlook Contacts and calendar in iCloud. Is they're looking for to do, or have I misunderstood and are looking to the opposite, i.e. import iCloud in Outlook?

No reliable WiFi for iPhone and iPad
I have an Airport Express, Time Capsule with two extensions Express airport and once every 3 days I have to power cycle to get my iPad and iPhone to be able to use the Wifi. I-devices connect and show they have Wifi signal but they cannot transmit data. The airport on the iPhone and iPad App show Extenders but do not see the time Capsule (which provides the route to the internet) when this symptom occurs. I have also 2 MacBooks using the airport for Wifi and they do not seem to be affected. Once I have power cycle the Wifi Time Capsule works again for up to 3 days and then I'm right back where I started.
I am really frustrated with this, if anyone has any ideas of what I can do to fix this, I'd love to hear them. -Like to me, I may need to consider a new airport or an alternative companies Wifi router to get the reliability, I need.
Time Capsule is currently running firmware 7.7.7
Express Extenders are 7.6.7
The two iPhones are 6 s on 10 iOS version
iPad Pro is iOS 10
The two MacBook with OS X 10.11.6
FWIW, there were a few post here associated with iOS 10 and network connectivity. Nothing substantial, but just letting you know. However, one question would be: do you have this start happening after the upgrade of your iOS devices? It also affects your so non - iOS devices?
That said, let's try to exclude your current network configuration. You mentioned that you have Time Capsule (TC) and extend its Wi - Fi network with two base station AirPort Express (AX). Is the link between the AXs and the TC wired or wireless?
What are the exact models of each of your base stations? Where the AXs extending regarding the TC?

Hi, I have a Yahoo Mail account for many years. Now, they have turned my account in base saying that my IE9 is no longer supported and they are "" forcing me to download Firefox otherwise I have to continue with basic messaging. Firefox is compatible with windows 7 for home and studens? If I download firefox it will affect all the files I have on my computer? Will this affect my windows mail? Thanks for a quick reply.

Firefox is compatible with windows 7 for home and studens?
As far as I know, Firefox runs on all variants of Windows 7. Firefox works better with a lot of memory, so if your system has 2 GB of memory, you may be limited in the number of windows and tabs you can open simultaneously before things get bogged down compared to a system that has 4 GB of memory.
If I download firefox it will affect all the files I have on my computer? Will this affect my windows mail?
As a web browser, you can configure Firefox to your default program to open web pages and links. If you do this, while some icons may change, for example, links to web pages can change to an icon of Firefox. In addition, Firefox has a built-in PDF reader, but you can still use Adobe Reader or another program to read PDF files if you want.
Are you using Windows Live Mail or another standalone program to retrieve messages? Firefox be involved with it because these programs to get the mail directly, not not using your browser. But if you make Firefox your default for links Manager, when you click on a link in the e-mail software, it will open in Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.
Other things:
(1) attention to the download links at random in search engine results. You can get Firefox here (scroll to your preferred language):
https://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/
(2) I'm sure after Firefox is started the first time, you will have many questions. The program should give you a little tour of routine, and you can use our support articles for more information: https://support.mozilla.org/products/firefox
(3) you must install IE11 because there are still a few sites that use patented technologies and are not displayed in Firefox, such as Windows update
