P2V converter issues

[Tapobal]

I am trying to convert RHEL, but once I deploy in VMWare, the guest VM will ask for converter login. It says root and password, but once I enter it fails. Has anyone faced the same issues. Any suggestions.

Thanks

Check SSH is available for source machine.

if your ssh is ok

check your firewall that's better turn off your firewall

service iptables stop

ssh is enabled, firewall is disabled. Once I start converting, it stops at 1%. I tried to login in helper console, it was asking for converter login and password. It doesn't accept any item.

You can troubleshoot Helper VM connection to source machine with switch useSourcePasswordInHelperVm=true and eventually powerOffHelperVm=false

Check VMware Knowledge Base  and VMware Knowledge Base

you have to use root user

1- Do you connect to vm for convert with root user ?

2- Are you sure from vm helper network connection ?

I am connecting VMWare converter as the root user.

2- Are you sure from vm helper network connection ? >> Do you mean to say whether there is network connection on that or not ? Looks like it is pulling DHCP network. I am getting the error as cannot communicate with the remote host, either due to network errors or because the host is not responding.

I get chop wood, carry water in console after login.

i propose you use static ip for vm helper and after start convert ping vm helper if could ping vm helper ip

you don't have network problem otherwise that is network problem
