vConverter v4.1 Chapter 2 Installation 34
109BSpecial Notes on Features
• To use any of these features—Continuous Protection, Synchronized Cutover, or
Right-Sized Virtual Disks—the source server must be running Windows XP or
Windows Server 2003. These features will not work if the source is running
Windows NT4 SP6a or Windows 2000.
• To use the Synchronized Cutover or Continuous Protection features, you must
have MS VSS installed.
• To use VA, which is stored in zip/rar format, you must import it from outside the
application and configure it. See Chapter 3 for instructions.
• To use RDM, you must enable the option in the software. This is possible only if,
on the target server, you have available devices that are not being used by another
VM. The P2V to RDM feature will not be accessible in the software if an RDM is
not available.
• To use RCC, the source server must have at least 512MB of RAM.
• If the boot volume on the source server is compressed, VistaPE will not load.
When the source boots, you will be prompted to restart. The system will remain in
the non-bootable state and will need to be reset manually. Before selecting RCC
as the conversion type, cancel compression for boot volumes.
