56BConnect vConverter to ESX Server
Without proper credentials, conversions will fail. It is critical to test your connections
before starting a conversion directly to ESX. Also, confirm that there is a DNS entry in
place for the IP address that you intend to use. Otherwise, this message will display at
step 8:
1. Select Tools→Preferences→ESX Server.
2. Click Add.
3. Enter the IP address of the ESX Server.
4. With non-root credentials, populate the Password and Verify password fields. By
default, vConverter populates the Username field.
5. Populate the Root password and Verify root password fields.
Note: VMware does not allow remote root connections.
6. Select the Enable VA feature checkbox. The Enable vzBoost and Create a User
if doesn’t exist checkboxes are selected by default.
