vConverter v4.1 Chapter 5 Using vConverter CLI 162
147BGeneric CLI Tool Parameters
The CLI Tool—both .EXE and .DLL—requires the following command line:
<source system name or IP address> <credentials to login to
the source system> [<target server address>] <target file
name in UNC format> [<credentials to login to the target
server>] <capturing parameters> [<extra parameters>]
The mandatory CLI parameters are:
• source system name with valid administrative credentials
• target filename (where the output image data will be written)
• capturing parameters
You can specify a login and password for the target server if, for example, the target
share is not generally accessible, you want to launch Windows TSA there, or you want to
capture to ESX Servers.
Some migration parameters can be used to improve performance and reliability. Several
examples of CLI Tool command line usage follow.
