I'm trying to convert a powered on server running Centos 6.9 to a destination VM in one of our vCenters. I've looked at the VMware Docs on which ports to open and have put firewall rules in place. After over 3 hours and the status still at 1% the task failed with "Error: Unable to connect to the Converter helper server on the destination virtual machine".
I am doing the conversion on a Windows hosted VMware Converter Standalone version 6.2 and can successfully ping the helper VM from the Windows box. On the console of the helper VM, there are entries showing it can ping its gateway. The docs say port 443 is used between the Converter Standalone server to the helper virtual machine. Is port 22 needed too? or maybe I'm missing something in the setup.
