CAUTION: During cloning of powered on Linux machines, Converter Standalone 6.1 preserves the following source file systems on the destination: ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, vfat, and xfs. All other source file systems are converted into ext3 or ext4 file systems on the destination virtual machine.
Features from prior releases of Converter Standalone are described in the release notes for each release. To view release notes for prior releases of Converter Standalone, click one of the following links:
Converter Standalone installation fails when the selected installation folder name contains non-ASCII characters
Converter Standalone installation fails if the installation folder name contains non-ASCII characters and the OS locale is different than the locale of the characters. If there are characters from two different locales mixed in the folder name, the installation fails because there is always a character with different locale than the OS locale.
Workaround: Make sure that all the non-ASCII characters in the folder name are from the same locale as the OS locale.
Converter Standalone installer removes Workstation 6.5.x remote agents without notification
When you use Workstation 6.5.x to hot-clone a Windows source machine, Workstation deploys a remote Workstation agent on the source. If you choose to leave the remote agent on that source and then install Converter Standalone on the same machine, the Converter Standalone installer uninstalls that agent without any warning messages.
Users with limited rights cannot install Converter Standalone on Windows
If you are logged in to Windows as a non-administrator user, the following error message is displayed while the InstallShield is extracting files for Converter Standalone installation:
Unable to save file:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\
The system cannot find the path specified.
The error is displayed because limited users do not have the required write permissions.
Workaround: Select the %TEMP% directory to extract the installation files:
You cannot install vCenter Converter 4.2.1 on the same machine where you have already installed Converter Standalone 6.1
If you install Converter Standalone 6.1 and then install vCenter Converter 4.2.1 server on the same machine, downloading the vCenter Converter 4.2.1 plug-in from vSphere Client fails.
Workaround: First install vCenter Converter 4.2.1 and then install Converter Standalone 6.1.
Disk-based cloning of a powered off machine image to a Virtual Volumes datastore destination might fail
You might not be able to perform a disk-based cloning of a powered off machine image to a Virtual Volumes datastore destination. The conversion might fail at 1% with a message Operation expirienced network error if the size of the source disk is not a number that is a multiple of a MB.
Workaround: Use volume-based cloning, if the option is available.
Creation of virtual machine with thick destination disk type of certain size fails on VSAN datastore even if it seems to have enough space
If you try to perform disk-based conversion with thick destination disk type of certain size on VSAN datastore, the creation of virtual machine might fail with the following error 'converter.fault.InsufficientManagedDiskSpace', even if it seems to have enough space.
Workaround: Change the destination disk type to thin.
If you try to convert a source physical or virtual machine to a managed destination by using thick provisioned disks with large empty spaces on them, the conversion task might fail
If you try to perform a disk-based cloning of a physical or virtual machine to a managed destination by using thick provisioned disks with large empty spaces on them, the conversion task might fail with an error message Unable to clone disk source_disk on the virtual machine virtual_machine_name. The following messages appear in the log file: [03200 warning 'Default'] [,0] [NFC ERROR] NfcNetTcpRead: bRead: -1
[03200 warning 'Default'] [,0] [NFC ERROR] NfcNet_Recv: requested 264, recevied only 0 bytes
[03200 warning 'Default'] [,0] [NFC ERROR] NfcFile_Stream: Failed to get message from source
[03200 warning 'Default'] [,0] [NFC ERROR] NFC_NETWORK_ERRORThe destination ESX server must return an acknowledgement after each processed NFC write request. If the source sends a large block of zeroes that must be written it might take a long time for the ESX to return the acknowledgement. Thus, the Converter assumes that the operation has timed out and closes the connection, no matter that the ESX server is still writing to the target disk.
When converting hosted virtual machines with unpartitioned disks, you might not be able to obtain hardware information about the source
When converting hosted virtual machines with unpartitioned disks, you might not be able to obtain hardware information about the source. In such case, the following error messages might appear in the worker log:
- [01628 warning 'Default'] Partition:Invalid sector magic number.
- [01628 warning 'Default'] ERROR: Failure during open: Reading disk signature
- [01628 error 'Default'] [BaseDiskSetComputer::DoOpen] OpenDisks failed, mntapi error: 32.
A running P2V conversion job fails if you create a new conversion job for the same Windows source machine and use a different port to deploy the Converter Standalone agent
If, while running a P2V conversion job, you start creating another conversion job for the same powered on Windows source machine, and specify a port for the connection, Converter Standalone deploys the Converter Standalone agent using the port you specified. If the connection port is different from the one that is being used for the already running conversion job, both jobs fail. The following error message appears in the Job summary tab for the first conversion job: FAILED: A general system error occurred: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. The following error message appears in the Job summary tab for the second conversion job: FAILED: Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s). Error code: 2147754774 (0x80042316).
You cannot copy running conversion or configuration jobs
If you open the Copy As New wizard for a running configuration or conversion job when the source is a virtual machine or a backup image and you click Next, the wizard displays the error message Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine.
Workaround: Wait for the job to complete before selecting Copy as New in its pop-up menu.
Linked Cloning of source images greater than 2GB to a network share that does not support large files fails
Creating linked clones from source images that are larger than 2GB to a network share that does not support large files (for example, to a Linux SMB share) fails. Converter Standalone does not split the source files into smaller chunks. If the source is larger than the supported file size on the destination, the conversion tasks fails.
Creating a conversion job to convert a standalone VMware source with a VMDK file greater than 2GB from a network share that does not support large files, fails
If you select a standalone virtual machine source with VMDK file greater than 2GB residing on a remote network location that does not support large files (for example, Linux SMB share), the following error message appears in the Converter wizard on clicking Next or View source details:
Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine.
Workaround: Map the network shared folder to the machine where Converter Standalone runs, and select the source from there.
Converter Standalone cannot detect the power state of VMware Workstation or other VMware hosted source virtual machines if they are located on a read-only network share
If the source machine is a Workstation or another VMware hosted source and is located on a network share with read-only permissions, Converter Standalone cannot detect if the source is powered on or suspended. This might lead to data inconsistency on the destination machine if changes are made to the powered on source virtual machine during conversion.
Workarounds:
Conversion jobs from and to ESX hosts that are not connected to vCenter Servers fail if the number of disks on the source machine is more than nine
When converting a source machine that has more than nine disks, conversion fails with the following error in the log file:
Error on logout (ignored): Operation timed out
SSLStreamImpl::BIORead (3BBA4E8) timed out.
The error is due to the limited number of NFC connections that can be established to ESX hosts that are not connected to vCenter Server instances.
Workaround: Connect to the destination ESX host through a vCenter Server. In this case, the number of source disks is limited to 27 for ESX and to 23 for ESXi hosts.
Converting source volumes with unrecognized file systems might prevent the destination virtual machines from starting
While you are setting up a volume-based cloning task in one of the Converter Standalone wizards, the volume name might be missing in some rows of the Source Volumes tab. This means that Converter Standalone does not recognize the file system on those volumes. The destination virtual machine that is created as a result of such a conversion task might fail to start up. Nevertheless, Converter Standalone copies the source volume data to the destination using block-level copying.
Workaround: configure the destination virtual machine after the conversion.
