Ok, attached are all the screen shots that show the settings I'm using the results. The end result so far is that I cannot specify my local machine successfully as the server when I get to the destination screen. When I do, it can't connect to the local server. Although, I was able to log in to my local converter server when the converter started up and I selected "Local server"...
Here's the install and usage environment:
1. Win7 x64, destination machine, where converter (with all options seletected in setup, this is important btw, make sure they are all selected, by default the remote server connection lib is not checked, thus clients can't connect to your box if this is not selected. This is relevant if you don't already have a vCenter infrastructure or other VMWare server in your network. I do not. I am a developer with only VMWare Workstation running on a laptop).
2. P2V conversion is the goal against a Linux machine on my local network.
3. I installed all Converter options as noted above.
4. I log into converter with the "local server" option.
5. To be sure the server ports are open and nothing is in the way, I've shut down the Windows Firewall completely for all pub/private/etc profiles.
6. Only when I select (for a test case to see what works and what doesn't) "local machine as source machine" do I then get an option on the "destination screen" to select a VMWare workstation as the destination target.
7. When I select "remote powered on" machine, I get to the "Destination screen" and it only allows me to enter a VMWare Infrastructure server in the destination option.
8. When I enter localhost or my machine name in that option, it proceeds to try and connect to the local install of converter server but fails as noted in the screen shots.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Chris
