Conversion Process
Linux P2V
The Linux P2V process follows the basic workflow described below:
The main components of the Linux conversion process are the Migration Tool Package
(MTP) and the Post Processing Service (PPS). The MTP is uploaded to the Linux
source server, and prepares and sends the data. The PPS resides in the vConverter
Virtual Appliance running on VMware vMA – it receives data from vConverter and the
MTP and creates VMs and write VMDKs.
The vConverter client connects to the source server and uploads the Migration Tool
Package. The MTP collects source system configuration information and displays this
information in the vConverter console.
