Configuring vConverter
Email Notifications
If you enable these fields, you will receive notifications via email for conversion jobs.
Notifications can be configured for successful jobs, failed jobs, or both. You can trigger
email at job initiation, as well as intermediate synchronization.
Cold P2V conversion
vConverter will wait for the source system to respond
before beginning the conversion process. The wait
interval can be configured here - either infinite or a
defined value. If there is no response received from the
source system during the timeout interval, the conversion
will fail. Having large timeout value may be useful when
booting source systems with limited resources, where
booting to the VistaPE may require additional time.
File-based conversion
Allows you to enable incremental file system transfer
based on block and file size.
Block size, MB: Some conversion types (Synchronized
Cutover, Different Destinations Cutover, Continuous
Protection) require multiple conversion passes, with only
changed data being transferred with each pass. This value
determines the size of the block that is transferred.
Generally, a smaller block size will result in less
transferred data, but will require a larger vConverter
database.
Minimal file size, MB: This value determines the file
size above which incremental file transfer will occur. For
files smaller than this value, the complete file will be
copied over.
Note In environments with slower network performance,
incremental file transfer should provide improved
conversion performance. With higher speed networks,
the performance gains may be minimal, but less data will
be sent across the network.
