esxi server creates and deletes the VM after the standalone converter starts the conversion

[pinlim888]

When I started the Standalone converter to convert the local Windows 7 laptop, the converter would go through the process, then failed at last step, I was able to see from the vSphere server site that after the VM is created, it started to delete it right away, how can I find the problem?

I have attached the vcenter server screen capture here

The problem could be found in log bundle, could you attach it?

Hi,

I, too, am experiencing the same issue.  The firewalls are all open between the vlans containing the source, converter, and ESX hosts.  I still get an error stating that the communications between the source and target disk is not available.  I have port 9089 opened to the source for the agent install, port 902 for the connection between the source and target, and everything in between open.

I see the same error being thrown each time and when I searched on it, I found this article.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Stan

Unfortunately neither of the attachments contains a worker log. Pls export the the log from the tasks view.

Your problem is that phisycal machine can not access the ESX at port 902:

2014-01-11T21:33:00.451-05:00 [07796 warning 'Default'] [,0] [NFC ERROR] NfcNewAuthdConnectionEx: Failed to connect to peer. Error: Host address lookup for server cbt-vms3.aicpainc.org failed: No such host is known

Ensure you can open port 902 for cbt-vms3.aicpainc.org from phisycal machine and try again.

Hi,

Thanks again for your assistance. It wasn’t the port that was the challenge; it was the FQDN it was trying to resolve. Although I use only IP addresses throughout the converter wizard, the source was attempting to connect via the server name. I added a host entry to the server’s host file, restarted the converter wizard and it’s running now.

Yes, Thanks for all the help, that was the problem, adding host name resolved the issues.
