vConverter v4.1 Chapter 5 Using vConverter CLI 163
Run CLI Tool with the following command line:
fileserv /su admin /sp 123456 /tserver storage
186H\\storage\vm\fileserv.vmdk /tu admin /tp 123456 /vm vmware
/adapter ide /vol c: /vol d: /flat /winsftp
This converts the system fileserv to the image \\storage\vm\fileserv.vmdk into VMware
IDE disk file format. The volume C: will be put into a primary partition; the volume D:
will be written as a logical disk in the extended partition. All the files necessary for
system conversion must be located inside the source system, otherwise the conversion
will fail.
To run Windows TSA you must provide the proper target server credentials, even if they
match those of the source server. In this example, there are two similar credentials—one
for the source, the other for the target.
Note: If running Windows TSA fails, the conversion will continue trying to write to the
target shared folder using the native Windows file write operations.
Example 2: Conversion of a System Passing Setup Folder
If you convert the same system from example 1, but some files that are necessary for
conversion are missing from the source. You will have to add this parameter:
Name Value
Setup folder location \\install\os\windows2000\sp
The command line is:
fileserv /su admin /sp 123456 /tserver storage
187H\\storage\vm\fileserv.vmdk /tu admin /tp 123456 /vm vmware
/adapter ide /vol c: /vol d: /flat /winsftp /setup
188H\\install\os\windows2000\sp4
It performs the same conversion, but the missing files are searched for within this folder:
189H\\install\os\windows2000\sp4.
Example 3: Conversion of a System to ESX Server Saving Tools Log Files
If you convert the same system from the examples above to ESX Server, these
parameters apply:
Name Value
Source Server Name fileserv
Source Server User Login admin
Source Server User Password 123456
