Configuring vConverter
Disk tab
Create flat
disk image
(Non
Growable):
De-selecting this checkbox will enable the creation of thinly
provisioned disks for vSphere (ESX 4) targets. Flat format is
required for ESX Server 3.x / 3i, but enabling this option can
slow the conversion process.
Note This must be enabled in order to resize volumes during
conversion.
Note This option should be selected when converting to an RDM.
Note This option applies only to P2V Windows tasks; for P2V Linux
only flat disk images are available.
Skip bad
sectors
where
possible:
Turns on/off ignoring disk read errors. If this option is off,
conversions will fail if a bad sector is found in the source
hard drive during capture.
Note This option is available for P2V Windows only.
Overwrite file
if it exists:
If this option is selected, vConverter will overwrite VM files
if they already exist on the target virtual server (or in the
target shared folder). Otherwise, conversion will fail.
