Converter standalone fails P2V Linux server 5.7

Hi Guys,

I am trying to virtualize Linux server, details below

Physical Linux Server: HP DL360G7
OS: RHEL release 5.7 (Tikanga)

IP Address: 10.88.0.100

It's been migrated to virtual environment, details below

vCenter server: 10.30.0.100

vCenter standalone server: 10.0.30.101

Firewall rules allow 10.0.33.101 to connect to port 22 on 10.88.0.100

I started the P2V process and it did started creating VM on virtual infrastructure. However, the progress kept sitting on 1%

By logging on the web interface of the virtual machine that shows on target vcenter server, it looks like;

Based on going through different forums, I configured the static IPv4 address to be on 10.88.0.* network. The physical server was able to communicate with the IP address assigned to this temp machine.

However with more than an hour in this process, it still shows progress as 1%.

Any ideas of what could be missing here or is this normal behaviour??

Hello

Probably Converter server has not connected to helper, running on the destination machine (I suppose you haven't waited more than 20min?). This network path needs also to be available,

If my guess is wrong - upload logs (especially worker log) for further examination.

HTH,

Plamen
