Configuring vConverter
Create Virtual
Machine
Instructs vConverter to create a VM descriptor file
and registers the VM in the target environment (ESX
Server/Hyper-V). Otherwise, only a set of disk image
files is created, which you must attach to the VM
manually.
This checkbox can have three states:
• Checked (VM will be created) and disabled (you
cannot change the setting) if the target is an ESX
server with a VA
• Unchecked (VM will NOT be created) and disabled
(you cannot change the setting) if the target is a
shared folder
• Checked (VM will be created) and enabled (setting
can be changed) if the target is an ESX server
without VA
Enable Autologon
on first boot
Enables automatic login of specified user in converted
VM during first boot.
Power Virtual
Machine ON
Runs the VM after the conversion is complete.
Applicable only for ESX Server, and Hyper-V targets.
Power Source
Server OFF
Instructs the source server to shut down after
completing a successful conversion.
Install VMware
Tools
Adds VMware Tools to a VM on ESX Server (Hyper-
V Integration Services package to VMs on Hyper-V).
vConverter will automatically power on the VM.
When you select this setting for ESX Server,
vConverter instructs the VM to boot and to acquire
VMware Tools from the host on which the VM is
installed. For example, if a VM is running on ESX
3.0.1, it will get VMware Tools from 3.0.1.
Configure VM
Opens the VM Options dialog - see VM Options
Dialog below.
