Hi everyone,
I am trying to convert a ubuntu 10.04 server to esxi. Converter version VMware-converter-all-5.0.0-470252.
But failed when 1% percent.
Here is convert log:

At 18:46, converter tells me can not got helper ip address.
So, I started convert with setting helper address, but this time still the same. The job stopped when connting to helper server.
I looked the ubuntu logs got some error:(/var/log/message)

and nothing else.
I think that, convert will install an helper in my ubuntu server, so must have an log? but here is no log.
So, how can I find where the problem is? Or else can I install a helper manually?
Thanks a lot.
Hey, I found where the problem is.
I defined a ip address in my physical subnet, while this ip is unusable in my esxi's default VM network.
Helper is a new virtual machine in esxi to help convert physical to virtual, not an software installed in physical machine.
Remember this.:smileylaugh:
