P2V conversion fails at 1% , "An error occured during the conversion"Unknown exeption""

[mronningen]

I am trying to convert a Windows 2003 Server with vcenter converter standalone 5.0. But the job fails at 1% with the message " An error occured during the conversion"Unknown exeption""

Have tried several things , stopping services , different admin logins etc.

Can anyone help me with figuring this out? Uploading the logs here

Unfortunatly the most important agent logs are missing, they are located on physical machine. Could you upload them?

Also ensure that ESX name is visible from agent's side i.e. from phisycal machine. HTH

Your error is

2012-07-17T15:41:55.825+02:00 [01344 warning 'Default'] [,0] [NFC ERROR] NfcNewAuthdConnectionEx: Failed to connect to peer. Error: Failed to connect to server rkesx3.ringebu.kommune.local:902
make sure you can see 'rkesx3.ringebu.kommune.local' from machine with agent.

Agree with POCEH, make sure from the Client which you installed Standlone has Firewall access opened to the ESX host on port 902. 

Had the same problem on our site, and Port 902 was not allowed through our firewalls from client to ESX host.

thank you , it appears to be some network issues causing this..... quite obvious to me now , probably to tired last night when it failed... 🙂
