Schedule Migrations by using VMware Convertor

Hello,

is it possible to create migration jobs with VMware Convertor and run them on a scheduled time like 23:00....?

I know with platespin it is possible, but we want to use VMware Convertor Enterprise because is free for use in our contract....

It's not possible to schedule conversions using VMware Converter 3.0. That feature may be offered in a future version.

There was a command line component in the beta that would allow you to write scripts to accomplish this.

Not sure why they didn't include it in the general release.

A command line tool will likely be included in a future release of Converter.

The only thing I have been able to do is repeat a conversion that I have already done. I know roughly how long it will take so I can start that one off at a time which would give the second conversion a chance of starting at the time I want.

VMware just released Convertor 3.0.1. The command-line tool p2vtool is in this release.....(experimental but if it works then fine by me)
