Adding Linux Hosts
Adding Linux Hosts
Linux servers are not automatically discovered and must be added manually prior to
configuring a conversion task.
To add a Linux host:
1 In the Network Browser pane, right-click on the Linux Hosts node.
2 Click Add Linux source.
3 Complete the Add a new Linux source system dialogue.
Quest recommends using the Secure Connectivity option. vConverter will
connect with this alternate login, then SU to gain appropriate authority.
4 Click OK.
Cold Cloning Ready
Source systems that have been booted (automatically or manually) to the VistaPE
environment are said to be “Cold Cloning Ready”.
1 Boot the target server using the vConverter VistaPE boot environment. This may
be remotely via the vConverter PXE service or manually with a CD.
