VMWARE Converter 6.0 to ESXI 5.5.3 host

[CJV31]

Hopefully just a quick question but can I use a newer version of the converter to convert a server to a ESXI 5.5.3 server? Server is 2008R2 and if I try an download the 5.5 converter it brings me to a page that I can only download 6.0 or newer. Thanks in advance

Yes, works just fine using 6.0 to convert to a target host of 5.5.

Yes, it will work but if you experience an SSL problems because of TLS 1.0 disablement, you need to change the tag <sslOptions> from 123422720 to 56313856 in converter-server.xml, converter-worker.xml and converter-agent.xml, then restart services, and in converter-client.xml placed in installation folder, then restart the UI.

Depending on the selected source, you can convert it to the following destinations.

• VMware vCenter virtual machines
  • ESX 4.0 and 4.1
  • ESXi 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, 5.5 and 6.0
  • vCenter Server 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, 5.5 and 6.0
