Disconnecting host machine from vCenter Server

[sadafkhan]

I am receiving following error message during the converting of Physical Desktop machine on ESXi 5 using VMware Converter Standalone 5.0 utility whenever  I have removed the host machine from the vCenter Server.

This utility is installed on Physical desktop machine but error prompt at the screen of “System Destination of “VMware Converter utility.

Error.

“The access to the host resource setting is restricted to the server ‘130.0.34.210’ that is managing the host. Use the management server as a destination.”

Please help out.

Hi,

Request you to check 4 points

1) Cross check wether NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enable in your physical machine.

2) Windows Installer , Windows module Installer and WMI Performance adapter services are running.

3) Windows firewall service is stop

4) All the below mention ports are open in firewall.

Source	Destination	TCP  Ports	UDP  Ports	Notes
Converter  server	Source  computer	445, 139, 9089  or 9090	137,  138	If  the source computer  uses NetBIOS, port 445 is not required. If NetBIOS  is not being used, ports 137,  138, and 139 are not required. If in  doubt, make sure that none of the ports are  blocked. Port 9089 is  used for Converter Standalone versions, and 9090 is used for the Converter  plugin. Note:  Unless you  have installed Converter server to the source computer, the  account used for  authentication to the source computer must have a  password, the source computer  must have network file sharing enabled,  and it cannot be using Simple File  Sharing.
Converter  server	VirtualCenter	443		Only required if the  conversion target is VirtualCenter.
Converter  client	Converter  server	443		Only required if a custom  installation was performed and the Converter server and client portions are on  different computers.
Source  computer	ESX	443,  902		If the conversion target  is VirtualCenter then only port 902 is required.
