Hi
Using VMWare Converter, I'm trying to clone a physical server to a VM, the server resides on the other side of a firewall. I've opened up the firewall so that this process can begin however this process always ends in failure with the following result:
Conversion Status
Type: Covert physical machine to virtual machine
Created: 19/03/2010 12:19:08 by xxx
Status: FAILED: A system error encountered during an operation
I inspected the export logs and noticed the following error:
NBD_Clientopen: attempting to create connection to vpxa-nfc://[xxx] GAS02/GAS02.vmdk@vmh02.cig.local:902
Started up WSA
CnxAuthdConnect: Returning false because CnxAuthdConnectTCP failed
CnxConnectAuthd: Returning false because CnxAuthdConnect failed
Cnx_Connect: Returning false because CnxConnectAuthd failed
Cnx_Connect: Error message: Host address lookup for server hstpllvmh02.cig.local failed: No such host is known
NfcNewAuthdConnectionEx: Failed to connect to peer. Error: Host address lookup for server lvmh02.cig.local failed: No such host is known
NBD_ClientOpen: Couldn't connect to hstpllvmh02.cig.local:902 Host address lookup for server hstpllvmh02.cig.local failed: No such host is known
What I'd like to know is on what interface does the VM host communicate with the VC server, both have interfaces in the same subnet, however the VMhosts have interfaces in a separate VMKernal network.
I can resolve the name of the host from the VC server, although the IP address that it resolves too is only used for management access, not a vmkernal port.
Any help would appreciated.
Thanks
