SSL Exception when Converter tries to connect to vCenter

Hi,

I want to migrate VMs from vCenter 5.5.0 U1b to vCenter 6.5 U1b using Converter Standalone 6.2.

When Converter tries to connect the source vCenter (5.5) I receive this error:

"A general system error occurred: SSL Exception: error:14077102:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unsupported protocol"

The error seems to be related to the certificate.

Could you help me?

Thanks

Andrea

I'll give it a try. The VMX version incompatibility  I have found out this by myself, but maybe the converter 6.1.1 is more stable and doesn't just stop. On the other hand it could be related to my network card, becasue it gave me a purple screen on heavy usage recently.

I get an Access Denied error message when I try to save the changed file.  All of the VMWare Converter services are off.  Next idea?

Do the changes in configuration XML files "as administrator". After that restart services.

None of the options worked for me so as a workaround, I removed one host from the cluster and vCenter altogether and just pointed the converter tool to the ESXi host directly, as soon as it finished, i simply put the host back into vCenter with the new converter VMs..

Probably you miss to change sslOptions in some XML file or don't restart services after change of sslOptions value.

I recheck all xml in the server 2012 64bit where I install the convert vmware standalone 6.2, and targetting to another server 2012 with the hyperv VM.

I try again to another destination (not a esxi 5.1), to Vcenter Vmware with server 2008r2 64bit, where I do the same, installing and modify the ssl value´s in the xml file but still the same issue:

Its work for me. I enable TLS1.0 in "converter-agent.xml by changing tag <sslOptions> from 123422720 to 56313856". That´s it.

I´ve Vmware ESXi v4.1.0 version installed.

I have the same problem as hernanSue. Smiley Sad

I use vCenter Converter Standalone Server 6.2.0 convert to ESXi 5.5.0.

Have changed all references of "123422720" to "56313856" in documents.

edit the converter-worker.xml, find the <useSsl>true</useSsl> and change the value to <useSsl>false</useSsl>

Restart the service on the machine.

Always failed at 1% with FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'SSL Exception: error:14077102:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:
unsupported protocol'

Thanks a lot.
