      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes... a bit embarassing, but on the machine to be virtualized, /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny were configured to deny access to the subnet that my ESXi server is on.&amp;nbsp; After fixing those files and confirming that I can ssh to the machine from my virtualization subnet, I get past that error.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope that helps!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;The main point is the destination VM to be able to ssh to the source machine. An easy way to check would be to try ssh from another VM in the same VM network.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That said, the potential problems that I can think of: &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; - there must exist a route from the VM network to the source machine network, i.e. the VM network must not be isolated (neither the source machine network, obviously)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; - both networks must not be VLAN isolated&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; - firewall settings on the source machine (as discussed in the thread)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; - firewalls between the destination and source machines&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; - using incompatible IP versions (e.g. source is IPv6 only, destination is IPv4 only)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There may be others, too. I am not a network expert.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;HTH&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Plamen&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Another possible reason for this error is to have the SSH server on the source configured with a DSA key,&amp;nbsp; however Converter currently supports only RSA keys. If there is only DSA key on the source SSH server, this error will occur.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A workaround could be to add an RSA key on the source SSH server and retry.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

This works for me too.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;"I just change from name to IP of the source machine in convertion wizard and it goes ok ."&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(-donellejoseph--Philippines)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I also encountered such a problem。Pay attention to this：When you convert a powered-on Linux machine, Converter Standalone creates a Helper virtual machine on the destination. The Helper virtual machine needs network access to the source machine to clone the source files. Default conversion settings enforce automatic acquisition of an IPv4 address and a DNS server for the Helper virtual machine, but you can set up this network connection manually.@@&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm getting this error trying to convert Ubuntu 14.04. Tried all the suggestions in this thread like editing the hosts.allow file, but still getting "key can't be retrieved". Converter and source machine are in same VLAN. Destination vSphere server is in a different VLAN but everything is open between the two. Could this be the problem? It's impossible to move the source to the destination VLAN a the moment.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is with Converter Standalone 6.1.1, amazing they still haven't fixed this bug...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had the same issue on Converter Standalore 6.1.1 while trying to migrate a CentOS server and found the problem to have been caused by iptables rules inside the source server. After disabling the iptables rules I was able to migrate it smoothly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
