is vCenter Conveter 4.0 provides p2vTool?

[mail4visu]

Does VMware vCenter Conveter 4.0 gives p2vtool.exe used for migrating

physical and virtual source machines with a command line interface and

vcb2p2vxml.exe

I was not able to find anything on this in user's guide and release note doc of vCenter Converter 4.

If this tools were not provided then what is the supporting tools provided by VMware for vCenter Converter 4.

Thanks in advance

With regards,

The experimental p2vtool.exe provided with Converter 3.0.x is not available for Converter 4.x standalone.

Chapter 6 lists some tools, http://www.vmware.com/pdf/VMware_Converter_Standalone_guide40.pdf other than that - you can still use with experimental support that tool in 3.0.3, or with Converter for vCenter latest version.

I was not able to find any tools other than VMware Tool which is used in virtual machine. Please let me know the tool which is used to convert phyiscal machine to virtual machine like p2vtool provided in VMware Converter 3.0.

I was surprised why this is not included in VMWare vCenter Converter 4.0 and release document / user guilde of the same were silent on this :(.

Now that vSphere is out ....

Converter for vSphere has converter-tool that has command-line syntax. This is closes to p2vtool for Converter 4.x branch.
