    <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm trying to clone a old linux machine that is powered on using version 6.3.0 Standalone client.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can connect to the source machine fine, but the conversion fails because the helper VM does not negotiate the key exchange properly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can connect to the source machine via SSH from another linux machine on the same subnet, but I have to supply the key exchange algorithm and host key algorithm to do this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The command line syntax is: ssh -oKexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 -oHostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa 10.10.0.x&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How do I get the helper VM created by the VC Converter Standalone to use the&amp;nbsp;diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 key exchange and the&amp;nbsp;ssh-rsa host key algorithm?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5402192"&gt;@fiegle&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You cannot force a Helper VM to negotiate on a different Key Algorithm but as a though I believe you could change the Linux to Convert or the Helper VM ssh_config file. Of course, this would need to be tested.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You could use this old KB to configure the login on the Helper VM:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1008209" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1008209&lt;/A&gt;. And I came across this link for the proper syntax on the ssh_config file:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/340844/how-to-enable-diffie-hellman-group1-sha1-key-exchange-on-debian-8-0" target="_blank"&gt;https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/340844/how-to-enable-diffie-hellman-group1-sha1-key-exchange-on-debian-8-0&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Same issue here unfortunately.&lt;BR /&gt;Im considering to use Veeam for the conversion instead now.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Unfortunately the workaround from Lalegre doesnt work as you would need to modify the Helper VM first before starting a migration task and you cannot (to my knowledge) make converter use an existing Helper VM.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
