Hi all,


I read a thread similar to mine, but I didn't understand the answer.

So here's my problem :

From my PC, I'm running VMware vCenter Converter Standalone version 4.0.1 build 161434. I try to convert a physical machine to one of my host which is under ESXi 4.0.0 build 161434.

"When I try to run convertng I get this error message : Unable to contact the specified host .hostname. from the Converter Agent machine. This might be because the host is not available on the network, there is a network configuration problem, or the management services on the management services on this host are not responding. Please verify that all Converter components are able to connect to 'hostname'."

I don't really understand why this is happening because it works well last I'd used it.

Any Idea?

Thanks

Johnny
