vConverter v4.1 Chapter 1 Introduction 6
Use the Quick Convert feature to adapt an existing conversion task profile into a template
that can be the basis for new conversion jobs.
27BRight-sized Virtual Disks
When you select file-based as the transfer mode and change the size of a volume, a target
virtual disk is created in that size. For example, if sources C (100GB) and D (500GB)
each have less than 10GB, in file-based transfer mode you can set the target to C=25GB
and D=25GB. vConverter will pre-create the target virtual disks as 25GB each and
transfer only data during conversion.
28BWindows Disk Resizing
This feature uses a New Technology File System (NTFS) resizing process to increase
speed and reduce the amount of time it takes for block-based cloning.
29BIP Migration
IP Migration allows you to transfer the IP from source physical Network Interface Cards
(NICs) to target virtual NICs. vConverter provides the default option of retaining the
source server IP configuration.
30BVM Installation
This feature allows you to install vConverter on a VM either as a stand-alone installation
or against an upstream physical machine.
31BEmail Notification
Use Email Notification to configure who receives alerts indicating that a conversion job
has started, succeeded, or failed. You can configure the alerts to include relevant log files.
You can also request notification of intermediate synchronization status.
32BWindows Target Server Agent
Provides the ability to replicate a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) agent on
Windows as a Windows service so that P2VDR jobs complete as they do on an ESX
Server. Ports a Target Server Agent (TSA) to Windows to speed up writes.
33BImport/Export Settings
Use these commands to import or export settings that you have defined previously. Reuse
these settings across multiple systems and vConverter instances.
