You can view source details if needed. On each step, click Next to continue configuring the conversion job. After that, enter the user name and password of the administrative account used to manage that server. Select the destination VM name and folder.
In this example, the necessary Datacenter on vCenter is selected. Select the required ESXi host that belongs to the Datacenter selected in the previous step. Next, select the datastore to store VM files and choose the virtual machine version. Set up the necessary parameters for the conversion task.
In the Advanced section, you can see the yellow warning icon that is displayed because the Reconfigure destination virtual machine option is inactive. This is no cause for concern; proceed forward. Check the settings of your V2V conversion job and hit Finish to run the job. Check the status of VMware Tools and verify whether all necessary services inside the VM are working correctly. Click Convert machine to open the conversion wizard and create a conversion job.
Enter the appropriate ESXi host credentials with administrative privileges. Hit Next on each step of the wizard to continue.
Step 2: Source machine. Select the source virtual machine residing on the ESXi host. The virtual machine must be powered off. Step 3: Destination System. Then, select the version of VMware Workstation or VMware Fusion, set the VM name to be used after conversion is complete, and select a location for the virtual machine.
Step 4: Options. You can set up the necessary parameters of the conversion task. If you would like a VM to use a dynamically expanding virtual disk similar to a thin provisioned disk, select Not pre-allocated. Step 5: Summary.
Wait until the conversion job is finished. One of such methods is outlined below. Convert a virtual disk of a VirtualBox format to a virtual disk of the VMware format vdi to vmdk. Convert the uploaded VMware Workstation. When converting virtual machines, follow VMware V2V migration best practices. VMware vCenter Converter Standalone supports only hot migration for physical machines and cold migration for source virtual machines.

Summary If Technical Support requests a virtual system image from a physical computer, use the following procedure: NOTE: If the system is already virtualized, provide a copy of the virtual machine files. See the VMware Converter documentation for supported third-party virtual machine formats. ZIP these files and upload them for the Technical Support representative.
See your third-party compression software documentation for steps on how to create multi-volume archives. Affected Products Endpoint Security Firewall Choose your region North America. Asia Pacific. Continue through the rest of the prompts until and click on the Finish button when complete.
The Windows computer running a supported operating system. If enabled, the Windows firewall is disabled. But, disabling the firewall is temporary, and you can re-enable the firewall after a successful conversion. Simple file-sharing is disabled. First up, you must deploy the agent to the remote host. The agent is the software that will communicate with the Converter utility to perform the conversion. The computer the tutorial will be converting is not the same machine as the VMware Converter tool installed and powered on.
Choose the Powered On option followed by the Remote Windows machine option. To access those options you would choose the Powered off radio button. Next, specify the User name and Password of the local administrative account on the remote Windows host.
This tutorial uses a Local Administrator account. If you use passwordless logins with SSH , you will need a private key file here that matches the public key file configured on the remote Linux machine.
You might be prompted with a Remote Host Thumbprint. If so, click on Yes to continue connecting to the host. This happens if the computer you are connecting from has never connected to the remote host before.
Now, click Yes to accept the default of Automatically uninstall the files when import succeeds to begin the agent installation.
This process takes a few minutes. On the Source System screen, select the Powered Off option. Doing so will change the drop-down selections showing you an option for Hyper-V Server.
Once connected to the Hyper-V server, you will see a list of VM guests that are available. Select the VM you want to convert and click Next. In the example below, you are converting the VM guest Windows Server.
There are two other options available in the drop-down. These are useful for making a lab machine but not used for production P2V operations usually. When you select VMware Infrastructure virtual machine , you must then provide the host details of your ESXi host or vCenter server cluster.
The user account used to connect should have the appropriate rights to perform administrative operations on an ESXi host or vSphere cluster. Click Ignore. Be sure to choose a datastore that has plenty of free space. Also, always specify the virtual machine version that matches your VMware Infrastructure supported version. Version 17 is supported on ESXi 7.
