Creating Conversions
• Saving and Running a Task
Each of these operations can be performed in several ways, and have a variety of
configuration options. The sections below explain the options and configurations in
each operation. Most of the information below is applicable to all conversion types.
Where a given conversion type requires a change from the standard or more
information, this information will be called out separately.
Identifying Source Servers
For standard P2V conversions, the source servers are the physical or virtual systems that
you wish to virtualize. These systems are identified during an automated discovery each
time vConverter launches. The list of discovered systems is displayed in the All
Systems tab of the Network Browser pane on the left side of the user interface.
Note vConverter will use up to 20 scan threads for network discovery. Each domain requires a
scanning thread. The data displayed in this area is captured and refreshed by WMI, which
requires TCP port 135 to be available.
The Network Browser pane includes six points for user interaction:
Refresh: Refreshes the tree in the All Systems view of
the Network Browser pane and launches scanning of a
specified domain.
Filter On/Off: Enables or disables filtering of the
active tab of the Network Browser pane.
Note Filtering does not apply to the results of the Virtual
Machines tab.
