selected target server will be displayed.
Note When using the Virtual Appliance for VMware as a target, the Use RDM option will
be disabled.

5 In the VM name field, enter the desired name.
Caution To avoid errors, please ensure that the VM name is unique within your
environment.
6 The Conversion type defaults to the only option: Linux Remote Cold
Conversion.

Step 5: Advanced Task Properties
You may access the Advanced Task Properties by clicking Advanced on the Task
Properties pane. The Advanced Task Properties dialogue has two tabs - Disk and VM.
The Disk tab contains two options:
• Create flat disk image (Non Growable) - This field is selected and disabled,
as this is the only supported option.
• Adapter type - The Adapter type menu contains a list of virtual disk adapter
types for VMs and captured disks. If a target VM platform supports a
particular adapter type, it will be listed in this field.
