Windows P2V Conversions 87
Creating Conversions
Synchronized Cutover. It may make sense to create a folder for each of these
conversion methods, with a remaining folder for the standard conversions.
• By Schedule - Given the length of most virtualization projects, it may aid project
management to create folders for each unit of your project timeline (Week 1,
Week 2, etc).
Creating a Folder
Folders and tasks are managed via the Task List pane of the vConverter UI.
You can create new folders by clicking the New Folder icon in the vConverter
toolbar. You may also right-click in the Task List pane and select Create Folder.
You must create at least one folder. You may add as many tasks to that folder as
appropriate. Each task can convert one source system.
Creating a Task
Each source system to be converted requires a task. While folders are merely devices for
logical grouping, tasks contain the actual configuration data.
You can create a new task by clicking the New Task icon in the vConverter
toolbar. You may also right-click on a folder in the Task List pane, and select P2V/V2V.
You may also use the Conversion Wizard to create a task. The Conversion Wizard is
launched by clicking the icon in the vConverter toolbar.
