HyperV conversion error

Hi all,

I currently have a HyperV environment I'm migrating to vSphere 5.0 and converter is throwing an unknown error when trying to import a powered off HyperV VM.

All seems pretty straight forward, I thought since it was powered off it would be a relatively simple task......seems now.

Logs are attached, does anyone have any ideas?

Hello

Converter deploys an agent service on the HyperV machine which actually does the conversion. When a conversion starts it connects to the agent at port 9089. If it can't, it deploys it. This is the same as for P2V. Although deploying the agent usually doesn't require rebooting the source, sometimes it does.

I suggest you verify at the HyperV machine whether "VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Agent" service exists and is started. If it is not started try to start it. It may require rebooting the machine.
