Hi,
The requirement is to use VMware Converter v6.1.1 to:-
- Migrate a source windows VM server that is powered on
- To another remote vCenter server
- Conveter software installed on a separate VM in target environment
The VMware documentation is unclear. It states a numer of permissions are required at the datacenter level, but dosn't distunguish with whether the permissions are on source vCenter server, target vCenter server, or both.
When converting a powered on server, the converter server prompts for VM details rather than source vCenter server, therefore are the permissions relevant for source vCenter? We have an account with local admin rights to connect to source server.
Vmware converter also assumes the source server is physical rather than a VM (when converting powered on servers).
Thanks
Jas
