Vmware Converter Io Error
When migrating the ad dns server off line solved withh ths name ip resolution on the host of the machine working the vmware vcenter converter.
Vmware converter io error. After making the above change we was able to successfully p2v the server without any further issues. Opening the virtual pc s settings and you find that it is referencing a parent disk. In workstation select file open.
Proble on the disco of the server off line beeing converted solved with a chkdsk r f on the server. You need to have the virtual pc in a powered down state in order for vmware convertor to work. It looks like the vmware converter establishes the connection to the vcenter as the destination manager for the clone to be created but then allows the vmware converter source to directly talk to the cluster on one of it s ip s to stream the virtual to the storage for creation.
Looks like vmware convertor can t find the files. If you have never imported a third party virtual machine or virtualized a physical machine in workstation workstation installs vmware vcenter converter standalone. You should now be able perform the p2v without issue.
Worse comes to worse you can use a vpn client to establish a tunnel or temporarily add a nic to server pc to be converted. Not at server client option all of my esxi servers are connected to the vcenter server so i had to use vcenter server s ip address to send this physical machine to the virtual world. When creating a vm i can assign up to 24 cores per vm even when i allready assigned some cores to other vms.

I do have 2 physical cpus with 6 cores per socket. You should now be able to copy the vm up to your esxi server. I have installed vmware converter en 6 2 0 8466193 on windows 7 physical machine with option locally selected.
