I was / am attempting a P2V of a Windows 2k3 R2 sp2 32bit server.
At around 15% the process errored and the Converter interface displayed a message, which I believe was "VMware Converter Agent connection was lost". Looking at the vmware-converter-worker log I can see that a log bundle was generated for this task (attached). The log bundle shows the following error:

However when we look at the vmware-converter-worker log we can see that the process appears to be running still. Several hours later the log shows InitialFullSyncCloneTask @ 49%.
We have attempted to open Converter but the task / job does not appear in the interface.
Has anyone seen this before? Is the P2V conversion still running and what happens when it completes if we can't access the task / job from the Converter interface?
Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
