Synchronize changes to a P2V after job has finished

  Hi,

I P2V a physical server (Server 2008 standard SP1) using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client 6.1.1 as a test. Now two weeks later we would like to use this as a live server. Is there a way of re-synchronizing the data again to save having to convert again?

Regards,

See this documentation: Synchronize the Destination Machine with Changes Made to the Source Machine

Hi,

What's relevant in this case is that the conversion job must have been created as sychronizing without finalizing. This way the job remains active and you can do incremental deltas. Once the job is deactivated no more synchronization is possible.

HTH,
