vCenter Essentials 4 and vCenter Converter Plugin?

We bought vSphere 4 Essentials Bundle with vCenter 4 Essentials for a client, have installed ESX, a Windows 2008 Server and vCenter on this server.  I'm not ready to test migrating from physical to virtual, but can't find the vCenter Converter plugin in the vSphere client.  I was on the phone with VMWare for 30 minutes this afternoon and they could not help me?

So either vCenter Converter is not allowed with all (which would be a disappointment) OR I'm missing something.

Does anyone have any ideas or advice?

Thanks in advance,

Bill

This is a separate option. When you "autorun" installation of vCenter DVD, there is a selection for vCenter Converter.

    Import and export tasks fail when a vNetwork Distributed Switch is selected as the network for the virtual machine target

    When you create an import or export tasks and select a vNetwork Distributed Switch in the choice of the network for the virtual machine target, the task begins but does not immediately with the following error message: unknown error returned from agent vCenter Converter. This problem appears when you use the wizards to import or export or the convert Command Line Interface (CLI) tool to create the task.

    Solution: Select a network to the computer virtual target that is not a vNetwork Distributed Switch.

  • Unable to connect to vCenter Converter Server and failure to register the extension

    Hello

    Recently, I was doing the following error on our vCenter Server server while trying to import a virtual machine - "unable to connect to the server vCenter Converter Server.

    I followed the recommendations of the other post of the community http://communities.VMware.com/thread/239203 However, I still get the same error.

    I tried to run a repair on vCenter Converter of add/remove programs however I get the following error:

    "Cannot save the extension.

    I restarted the server as well and still no change.

    Any ideas?

    If you have changed the IP address on the VC, your best option is probably uninstall the Update Manager and converter, once again.  delete their directories under \program files\vmware\infrastructure\ installation, restart and install again.

  • 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.

    Hello

    The plug in for Converter Enterprise is installed but I can not find an icon for converter in vCenter.

    Is there anything else I should do to get the company working with vCenter converter?

    the plugin must be installed in the vSphere Client (or VIC if 2.5) you use. If this is the case, do a right-click on a cluster host / and choose Import.  The wizard should appear.

  • vCenter Converter - P2V migration without dedicated boot partition

    Hello

    I'm looking to migrate to a physical computer to my ESXi cluster with vCenter Converter but actually I got this following error message:

    There is no directory "/ boot", mounted on the source machine. It is necessary to create a virtual bootable. Mount the directory "/ boot" on the source machine.

    Is it possible to ignore this message? In fact, this server is in production and I don't have any space on my hard drive to create another partition.

    I would like to know if we can convert a physical machine to a virtual machine without a dedicated boot partition.

    Note: I had a folder/boot but mounted on my.

    If anyone has any advice on this subject will be useful

    Yes, in theory, you can. / boot directory under / is OK, but this error message is a bit misleading - I'd say converter couldn't recognize your * discs * and so no partitions mounted, so he couldn't find/boot as a separate partition or as a directory under /. You use some software RAID (md) on your source server?

  • 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.
