Tryingto convert an old server. I have downloaded the latest 6.1 converter and it installed smoothly. When I go to submit the conversion job everything looks good until the final screen where the job is submitted. After a few seconds of spinning an error is displayed :
Sadly there are quite a few hits on the web and none seem to cover the issue. I am logged in as local administrator, tried running the converter as administrator user, tried switching from local machine to remote and specifying the loopback address. Checked the disk for errors, nothing meaningful in the event logs. Eventually looked at the requirements of 6.1 converter and noticed that Windows 2003 does not appear to feature. I have tried in vain to locate a copy of converter 5.0.1 since it appears to be the last version to support 2003 SE but none of the links on vmWare site appear to work.
This is a real shame, maybe there is some config option. I then retried this on the external server so Converter points directly to the actual ESXi host that has the datastore, it was a none flyer - presenting an error that the host was managed by a vCenter and to connect there instead. Next I have a forth ESXi server that is not part of vCenter (essentials plus only allows 3 systems) so I pointed the external host there and hey presto vConverter accepted it and submitted the job.
The performance was terrible. I disabled SSL and saw a minimal speed boost but the transfer speed is around 2Mbps, and this is coming into a 150Mbps link. I tried using an EFM backup circuit that is only rated at 10Mbps and the speed increased, but only to about 6Mbps - the physical server showing no CPU stress and no throttling enabled.
It is now sorted, the fatal I/O appears to have been [in my case] the issue that the server that is running the vconverter software that I was attempting to P2V could only communicate directly to the vCenter. After looking at firewalls it was clear the after chatting to vCenter on 443 it then opens a port to the target ESXi host on 902.
During this trial and error process I was advised from vmWare that the host, vCenter and ESXi machines all need to be on the same network (interpret as routable). Opening a VPN from the remote server to the vmWare boxes sorted the issue and also seemed to boost the speed.
Hi, actually I used Vmware converter 6.1.1 and were able convert Windows Server 2003 with SP2 although it was not in the compatible Guest Operating System list. I succeeded through vcenter (VCSA 6.5) also directly to standalone ESXi 6.5 host. All of them (source, destination and converter) were in the same VLAN.
StarWind V2V Converter / P2V Migrator is a free software for cloning and transforming VMs from one format to another, as well as converting physical machines into virtual ones. It is utilized when migration or Hypervisor Switch is required. Compared to the typical converters built into hypervisors, StarWind V2V Converter / P2V Migrator offers bi-directional conversion between all the major VM formats: VMDK, VHD/VHDX (Windows Repair Mode aware), QCOW2, and StarWind native IMG.
StarWind V2V Converter has numerous competitive gains over converters built into your standard hypervisors. First, it supports bi-directional VM conversion between various hypervisor vendor formats. To save time during migration and Hypervisor Switch, V2V Converter allows to convert VMs directly from one hypervisor server to another without creating an extra VM disk copy. On top of that, you can easily migrate your vital host VM images between different hypervisor servers without any data loss or corruption. Want to convert local files? V2V can do that, too.
StarWind V2V Converter enables the conversion of a physical machine into a virtual one that resides on a Hyper-V, ESXi, Xen Project, or another industry-standard hypervisor server. It allows converting physical disks or volumes into a variety of formats: VHD/VHDX, VMDK, QCOW, and IMG/RAW. Simply start StarWind V2V Converter on a physical machine and convert it into a virtual one located on a remote server. Data consistency is preserved throughout the migration.
You also have the ability to convert your physical volumes, disks, or entire physical machines into instances in the public cloud without any intermediary steps. Boot up StarWind V2V Converter on your physical machine, choose the desired physical source, opt for Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure (the cloud of your choice) and press convert. The process is quick and safe, eliminating any chances of data corruption or loss thanks to VSS snapshots.
Whatever the hypervisor, StarWind V2V will easily convert your virtual resources to cloud instances in a public cloud in a snap. All popular virtualization formats are supported for this feature as well. Select any virtual disk or VM on your remote hypervisor server, choose AWS or Azure (depending on what you use), and see the magic unfold.
Finally, our solution can convert and migrate smoothly between AWS and Azure! Abiding by the same bi-directional principle, you can easily switch to or bounce between these public cloud services, shifting your VMs and disks how you want them. Again, no copies or extra space is required: the process occurs directly from cloud to cloud, securing solid data safety and integrity.
StarWind V2V Converter / P2V Migrator alleviates the risk of data corruption during conversion by working with a copy of the target VM, keeping the original file intact. The utility uses VSS snapshots while carrying out P2V migration. In this way, the machine state is consistent, and any chance of data corruption or loss is avoided. StarWind can also replicate the virtual drives across multiple nodes in the cluster to ensure constant uptime of your data using StarWind VSAN.
