Unable to convert P2V source: Ubuntu 14.04, with VMWare vCenter Coverter Standalone 6.0.0

Hello

the relevant error seems to be:

fatal: no matching mac found: client hmac-sha1,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5 server hmac-sha2-256,hmac-sha2-512 [preauth]

Converter uses OpenSSH 5.7 which, it seems, doesn't implement sha2 MAC. You could relax a little the source machine sshd (see man page for sshd_config) and try again.

I'll log a bug to upgrade Converter's OpenSSH in a future release.

hi

you can follow below provided link details

A little correction. Since you can't query the source machine, the 'culprit' is not openssh in converter helper, but plink.

Anyway - the workaround is the same.

[patanassov]

Please do not post irrelevant links, they can cause confusion and waste of time rather than be helpful.

Your link is about:

- failure to reconfig, not query source

- Debian, not Ubuntu

- earlier versions of Converter, not 6.0 (note that Converter 6.0 can deal with Debian)

Hi Plamen!

I added required MACs to sshd_config - and converter connected!

Thank you for your help,
