  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!

  I thank all of you.

  Best regards

• Windows 2008 R2 VM disk system increased substantially after moving from VM to ESXi host 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi host using vCenter Converter Standalone

  Hello:

  I moved a Windows 2008 R2 VM from a 5.1 ESXi host to an ESXi host 5.5 using vCenter Converter Standalone.  The c: / drive system passed largely to where I now have to extend the volume.  Is this normal/expected behavior?  Perhaps the conversion/move creates temporary files I can delete?

  Thanks much for the ideas.

  This is not the expected behavior.

  Size of the disk is defined during the conversion and which will not increase by its own during conversion.

  Now, you need to V2V, if you want to reduce the volume.

• 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!

• y at - it an easy way to convert w7 64-bit with VMware vCenter Converter Standalone

  Hallo

  I am struggling with the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone with windows XP everthing works well...

  I would like to convert a 64-bit Windows 7 computer and run it on a windows 7 64 bit with vmware player > 4

  I get a blue screen and message windows cannot be bootet normally...

  Thanks for any help

  was soon rene

  Welcome to the community,

  It is most likely a problem with the virtual drive created for the converted virtual machine controller. Unless you specify the correct controller ("LSI Logic SAS' for Windows 7) type in the Converter Wizard, you can end up with an IDE controller.

• 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

  I'm trying to convert physical machine to virtual - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  gamarion,

  Welcome to the VMware Community Forums!

  The newspaper provided does not contain the information we need.  For your next post, please use the function "Export logs" converter (File Menu, or right-click on a task that failed) and attach it to the post office.

  I saw an error which is very generic during the wizard of converter, on networks, and just before you get to step 3.  It was with a couple Dell 1950 / 2950 s.  This occurs when the converter tries to collect information on the virtual drive of Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC).

  If you open disk management, you will see the device listed as Disk0. You must disable the VSF Dell virtual disk device in Device Manager and restart the server to resolve this problem. You can also disable the virtual floppy drive device of in the DRAC setup at boot time.

  Kind regards

• Restore-error vCenter Converter Standalone / Server

  Hi guys,.

  It's my first post in the VMware community and I'm looking forward to many useful discussions. Back to my problem...

  I have a serious issue in our virtual environment. Last weekend, I had to restore a virtual machine to a backup vcb. My first idea was to import the machine with the vCenter Converter 4.1.0. So far so good... I chose the .vmx of the virtual machine, which lies directly on the hard disk server vCenter ( file://hostname/e $/vm/vm.vmxUNC path) connection references: domain\administrator (access rights are set correctly)

  After a few seconds, I get the error message: cannot open the file file://hostname/e $/vm/scsi0-0-0-vm.vmdk (the name of the file is of course correctly)... ok, now I'm going to started to sweat... not only for the reason that it was Sunday morning, no, the virtual machine is our production database, and I could not restore it O.o

  Okay, the next idea was to import the machine with the vCenter Converter standalone, that is installed on my workstation. Source type is again Image backup, machine virtual file is always on
  hostname/e$/VM/VM.vmx--... we'll press next... and what past? Error: agent.internal.fault.FileOpenError.summary... have I said already, that the virtual machine is our most important server?

  2 hours later, I finished the installation of the new database server that was not the way things, I want to do...

  Monday: I couldn't believe it, the backup is corrupt... so I copied the files on my local drive on my computer and tried again... what my eyes see? It work fine? Now, I really couldn't believe it... If files is located directly on the vCenter server, it does not work and if the files are on my computer, it works correctly?

  can anyone help my in this matter? I really have no explanation for such a mistake...

  Thanks in advance for your help

  PS: I'm sorry for my English, but it is not my native language

  lights,

  There is a KB on a topic like this:

  "DISKLIB-LINK:
  host\e$\vm\scsi0-0-0-VM.VMDK': cannot open (the file is too large).

  Conversion fails when the source or destination do not support large files

  Need configurar el en the virtula machine assistance network. Te ayuda sacada del VMware Converter information Editor:

  During the conversion of the source physical machine running Linux, Converter Standalone creates a virtual machine to help on the destination host

  (VCenter or ESX). The virtual machine to help requires network access to the source computer to clone the source files. Apply the default conversion settings

  automatic acquisition of IP address and DNS server for the virtualmachine Helper. The following procedure to manually configure this network connection.

  Procedure

  1. on the view/edit

  Options page, click VM to support network.

  The network settings pane opens to the right.

  2. (optional) to assign an address select static IP the virtual machine to help, use the

  After the IP address: specify the IP address, subnet and default mask

• vs. Vcenter converter standalone

  (1) difference between standalone converter vs. Vcenter Converter?

  (2) difference between host update utility vs. Vcenter Update utility?

  (1) difference between standalone converter vs. Vcenter Converter?

  Both work in the same way.  The big difference is one is a plugin (Converer Plugin Enteprise vCenter) and the other is self-contained.

  (2) difference between host update utility vs. Vcenter Update utility?

  Host update utility is no longer available in 4.1, but is/has been used as a standalone tool for ESX (i) patch.  Don't know of a vCenter Update utility.
