Yet another P2V Conversion failure: unable to submit job: converter.fault.ManagedDiskOpenFault

Hello

I guess title says it all....

Trying to convert a Win7 machine to ESXi vCenter 5.5 - the job never gets to the point of starting as I get an error at submission.

Tried both with converter 5.5.3 and 6.0 to no avail.

There is no (known ?) other connection to vCenter.

Log bundle is enclosed.

Any help / suggestion most welcome !

You have to make sure you have network connectivity on port 902 both from Converter Server machine and the source machine to the destination ESX server (note it is not the vCenter server). If your ESX server is registered in vCenter with hostname, but not with IP address, then both Converter Server machine and the source machine should be able to resolve the ESX server DNS name.

It is worse!

Thanks ! That was indeed my issues (connectivity to the ESX machine) - all ok now.

All I wish is the the converter app could present us with a more helpful message (could not establish network connexion to host xxx on port 903 would be much more helpful !)
