automate vmware converter

Hello,

I need to do a V2V on a couple of hundred machines.  Is there a way to automate the converter process?  Most of the options will be the same except the hostname, host and storage.  Which I would like to put into a csv file and have it take that as input.  The rest will be the same ie, vcenter, username and passwords.

Hi,

This is why there are other options than VMware Converter when V2V a hundred of VMs.

It's a free tool but, not "ready" for doing hundreds of VMs...Of course you can do it but, it will take you time configure each VM.

So you can, write some code against the SDK (and try it to automate it, I don't know if someone achieved it), get another tool (Veeam for example) or just configure each VM manually.

I think there aren't more options.
