Performance and Reliability Quickly converts local and remote physical machines into virtual machines without any downtime. As you can see, version 6. VMware virtual machines. As you can see, we used version 6.
To obtain information about this virtual machine, click on the 'View source details' link. Machine type : in the case of virtual machines created on Windows Virtual PC, the machine type will be 'Other virtual machine or backup image'. Firmware : indicates that a BIOS is used. Operating system : guest operating system installed in this virtual machine.
Total size : maximum size of this virtual machine based on the maximum size of its virtual hard disk. Number of vCPUs : number of processor cores and number of virtual processors used by this virtual machine.
Then, click on Next. Vmware Physical Converter Then, specify under which name the virtual machine should be created in VMware format. In the list of options available, click the option : Data to copy. Vmware Vsphere Converter Standalone Note : you can ignore the yellow triangles displayed for the 'Advanced options' section. Here, you will have the option to choose the type of provisioning to use : Pre-allocated : static provisioning.
So, the space will be pre-allocated. Not pre-allocated : dynamic provisioning. So, the space will not be pre-allocated. This allows you to use only the space needed for data storage that is in the virtual hard disk. Split pre-allocated : same as 'Pre-allocated', except that the virtual hard disk will be split into several files of 2 GB or 2 TB if the hard disk is more than 2 TB.
Split not pre-allocated : same as 'Not pre-allocated', except that the virtual hard disk will be split into several '. The only volumes needed are the active, system, and any data partitions. Remote hot clone to a managed destination fails if the source virtual machine is not able to reach the destination without the fully qualified hostname When doing a remote hot clone to ESX Server, you might see the following error in the Datastore selection page if you do not provide the Fully Qualified name and if the source machine cannot resolve non-Fully Qualified names: Unable to find the server.
Please verify that the server name is correct and then try again. Workaround: Use Fully Qualified names. Cloning a large disk with lots of free space to an ESX Server destination fails Selecting 'Import all disks and maintain size' on the Converter wizard Source Data page when converting a large disk with lots of free space to an ESX Server destination can cause the import to fail.
Check the logs, and if there are error messages with NFC failures, use the 'Import volumes. Converter does not support, as destinations, clusters in which the VMware DRS is set to partially automated or fully automated. For a destination, choosing a cluster with an automated DRS setting produces an error message: ' Sorry, automated clusters not yet supported.
Converter does not prevent incompatible imports of certain third-party images In Converter, you can import third-party images with guest operating systems that are the same version or lower than that of the host operating system.
However, Converter does not prevent you from doing an incompatible import, and the resulting task fails. Workaround: Make sure that the guest and host operating systems are compatible before creating a task. Separate backups should be stored in different folders Storing more than one third-party backup in a single folder results in a failed migration.
Before using Converter to import the image, each backup should be placed in its own folder. Target virtual machine might not boot up because an incorrect disk number is reported from Symantec backups In some circumstances, the disk number reported in the Symantec library is incorrect, which causes the resulting image to be unbootable because the virtual machine searches for the Master Boot Record MBR in the incorrect device.
We have received an overwhelming response towards participation in the VMware Converter Beta program. We thank you all for the interest shown and appreciate your patience in waiting for the beta program to be widely available. We are looking forward to your feedback, inputs and suggestions with regards to VMware Converter, as you move forward with testing the next generation migration tool during this beta process.
In order to proceed with participation in this beta program, please follow the guided directions for downloading the VMware Converter Beta. It will usually take us longer to resolve your issue if you do not attach a VMware Converter log file. Zip all your attached files and make sure the total file size is less than 10MB.
Download Vmware Converter 6. The release notes contain the following sections: Introduction to VMware Converter 3 VMware Converter provides an easy-to-use, scalable solution for migrations of machines, both physical to virtual and virtual to virtual. New in Converter 3. It has the following enhancements: Contains bug fixes described in Resolved Issues and known issues described in Known Issues Can convert individual volumes on a single physical disk from the source physical machine to separate and independent virtual disks across different datastores Can import as well as create Virtual Appliances in Open Virtual Machine Format OVF version 0.
It contains bug fixes described in Resolved Issues, and also incorporates the following new features: Conversion of VMware hardware version 6 products: Workstation 6.
It contains bug fixes described in Resolved Issues, and also incorporates the following new features: Download Vmware Converter 6. These limitations include: Dynamic disks are not supported All images for the backup of a machine should be in a single folder, with no other images placed there For volume-based cloning, all volumes in the disk up to the active and system volumes must have been backed up For instance: a disk has four partitions, 1 - 4, with partition 2 as the active volume and partition 3 as the system volume.
The backup must include 1 through 3 If it is an incremental image, up to 16 incremental backups are supported Images of systems with logical drives are not supported if the default boot Windows partition is on a logical drive. Installation Notes The Converter installer uninstalls previously installed versions of Converter such as 3. OVF supports import and creation of. In particular, if the source image contains unsupported hardware, you might need to modify the configuration of the destination virtual machine before using it: Linux Windows NT 3.
New Task fails for remote Windows source machine when you navigate back and forth in the Conversion wizard When all of the following circumstances exist, the physical source machine does not reboot: You are remote hot cloning a Windows NT4 or Windows source machine The agent is installed on the source machine, but the system has not yet been rebooted You change the source selection and change back to the original source before you click Finish in the Conversion wizard In this scenario, the task fails with a snapshot failure error message.
The reboot is necessary to start the snapshot service on the remote source machine so that Converter can take the snapshot of the machine. Right click each volume you want to clone and select System Volume Information. Click OK and proceed with cloning. You edit an OVF creation task for which you didn't specify an End User License Agreement license, but are specifying one now without restarting the Converter application. Workaround: Create a new task instead of editing the same task.
Workaround 1: Set aside the virtual machine created during the failed import. Workaround 2: Replace the driver. Rerun the migration. Remove the stcp2v30 key Remove the vstor2-p2v30 key. Go to the Boot menu. Highlight the Hard Drive row and press Enter. Change the boot order of the disks so that the system disk is first. Customization is not applied if a virtual machine is manually restarted after running the Configure Machine option The process for customization occurs in this order: Customize the virtual machine image with Converter and wait for percent completion.
Power on the virtual machine. Wait for it to reboot automatically. Sysprep processes the customizations. Sysprep reboots the virtual machine. The Windows operating system loads, and the network configurations occur.
If you manually reboot the virtual machine after step 2, without waiting for it to automatically reboot, the customization process will break. If Windows discovers new hardware and asks you to reboot and you select YES, the customization process will also break. In both scenarios, customization settings are not applied to the virtual machine.
You must wait for the machine to automatically reboot twice before the customization settings are applied and you can safely log on. Vmware Converter 3. Resolved Issues The following are known issues in Converter that have since been resolved.
