Creating a Conversion
The Linux P2V process differs from the standard P2V process in some key areas:
• Linux sources are not automatically discovered by vConverter. You will need to
add Linux sources manually.
• Linux P2V conversions can only be performed using VMware vMA with
vConverter Virtual Appliance components as a target.
