VMware Converter Sync Feature

[Ajaykumar]

Hi All,

I would like to know if sync can be started at any point of time of my choice....Like once the Job submitted (P2V) for conversion is completed. can i start sync on my own time.

Here I don't want to schedule the sync feature....because don't know when to schedule the sync feature.

Regards,

Ajay

I don't think you can do it in the middle of task. All options to be chosen before the task begins. Once the conversion is done, converter release all control over the virtual mahine where enabling sync will not be possible, you may have to start conversion again .

Hi All,

I used converter to do V2V migration with good success...only point is that the source was running on a snapshot and at the target the snapshot was not see on the target VM and also see the disk/voulme size more than in the source VM...

Will this be a problem of converting a VM which has snapshot running on it?? Please advice.

There wont be any issues or data loss because converter does not know virtual disk architecture, it sees only what the operating system. In other term we can say that it consolidated the snapshots logically as it gave the virtual machine in current state at guest level.
