Hi,
I followed the steps from
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=101801...
I have an issue with step 5 - c:
--------------------------------------
5 - Start vCenter Converter Standalone and create a conversion task to import the Workstation image into the vSphere:
- On the Specify Source page, select VMware Workstation or other VMware virtual machine from theSelect source type drop-down menu.
- Click Browse to locate the
*.vmx
file you downloaded from the Amazon S3 server and click OK to return to the Specify Source page . - Click Next to proceed to the Specify Destination page.
------------------------------------
When I click Next, I get the error : Unable to obtain hardware information
The log file shows:
