VMware has done a great job with this tool. Especially the ability to convert Linux machines to VM’s and the re-sync option. I perform a lot of P2V’s for clients. If ONLY I could schedule the re-sync to run when I want it to. Then I could copy the majority of the massive data during the day then on a scheduled downtime window allow the re-sync to process.
Thanks for keeping us informed!!!!!
This update fixed the problem when I installed this on my laptop, and the laptop would wake up from standby constantly.
Solgae,
I have the same problem on my laptop. I was not aware that this was an vCenter Converter issue… If yes then, great…. -:)
I am looking for a document that explains the communication through different ports when conversion is done. Is the Service Console used data transfer when the physical machine is converted.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks!
Converter scheduled synch now available on Converter 5.
