Converter failing with: The operation experienced a network error

[Phil_LeMaster]

I can't believe there is any kind of network issue because all of my VM's are working and on the network.

I am running version 6.1.1 and have tried three different ESXi servers. Two are 5.5 and one is 6.0 servers and they all fail. I have also tried this on another PC that fails.

I have also tried different VM's to import. I took one of the VM's and converted it on my PC from one drive to another drive and that works telling me the VM isn't the issue.

I found one article on the web from VMware Converter: "The operation experienced a network error" - discussing the network error issue but said it was something else that he got around.

The other strange thing it does, the progress bar gets to 50% and then speeds up to 98% and then goes back to 6% where it fails.

I have attached the log files from one of the tests.

Thanks

Hope this helps a little with the issue, as Andre says, the answer for my case was in the worker logs, and all have to do with the DNS, here's the tip:

In your Host file, ensure that you have this:

* IP and Hostname from the source

* IP and hostname of the vCenter

* IP and hostname of the master host**

Dunno but this last one was the clue to get off the I/O error, doesn't matter if it's a farm or a cluster, try it!
