I'm upgrading my infrastructure from ESX 3.0.2 to vSphere 5.0. I'm trying to use the converter and I get the following on a powered-off machine on my 3.0.2 host:
2012-04-12T11:52:15.833-05:00 [03872 error 'wizardController'] Cannot query source HW info: vmodl.fault.SystemError
I've did some research here and other places and it seems that on the older versions of the converted, you'd change the guest operating system type and it would work. I've tried them all with no positive results.
Any help anyone can provide would be mucho appreciated.
Thanks,
James
You host is very old, in order to convert from ESX 3,0 you must turn off NFC SSL, like here http://communities.vmware.com/message/1851162#1851162
Please upload log bundle from failed conversion.

POCEH, you are absolutely brilliant and thank you so much for your help.
I know this environment is ancient and we are hoping to get away from it as soon as possible.
Cheers!
