P2VError UFAD_INTERFACE_MISMATCH

[phubert]

The log has the following messages:

Making sure that UFAD interface has version vmware-ufad-p2v30-build-89816

UFAD interface version is vmware-ufad-p2v30-build-39557

We've just upgraded to Virtual Center 2.5 Build 64201 and are upgrading hosts to ESX Server 3.5 Build 64607.

From where is the UFAD executable installed????

[IamTHEvilONE]

Build 39557 = 3.0.0

Build 89816 = 3.0.3

It sounds like you may have multiple instances of VMware Converter on that system.

Thanks for matching the builds to the versions.

I did have 3.0.0 installed and downloaded 3.0.3. But I uninstalled then installed. Perhaps I need to uninstall ALL vmware products (the converter and the infrastructure client) AND delete the directories then reinstall????

[IamTHEvilONE]

it may refer to your system, or the system you are converting in the case of a remote conversion. When you do a remote conversion, it will install the agent that matches the version on your computer onto the system being converted. The mismatch might be on the remote host too.

Double-check both sides of the equation, and it might be best to reinstall the VMware products from scratch.

I had tried unsuccessfully (process hung at 97%) to convert the target system before, so you may be right.

Have to try to figure out how to find the components installed by the converter on the source system!

[IamTHEvilONE · Accepted solution]

it should show in add/remove programs.

VMware Converter Agent (or something similar)

AMAZING!

Not that I shouldn't have thought of it... just didn't expect a remote install like that to play so nice!

Thanks for the help!
