VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is a product to convert virtual and physical machines to VMware
virtual machines.
Hot vs Cold migrations
VMware vCenter Converter is capable of accomplishing both HOT migration and COLD migrations.
HOT migration:
Hot migration are those which occur while the source system is in running state. Hot migration are not recommended for certain tasks - like migration Active directory domain controller into a virtual machine(this task should be performed during a cold migration) but work well with systems where local data remains static.
COLD migrations:
Cold migrations occur while the source system is offline. cold migration are ideal for systems like SQL server and mail servers that have data that is regularly updated or altered. During cold migration, the physical computer itself is still running, but the operating system that is being cloned is inactive.
1. Open VMware vCenter converter Standalone and select Connect to a local server & Click Login.
2.To perform a P2V migration in vCenter converter standalone, click "Convert Machine"
3. Select source type"Power on"
Select "This Local Machine" if you want to migrate the physical machine to where VMware vCenter Conversion is installed. Otherwise, click "Remote windows machine or Remote Linux machine" and then enter the IP address and Login credentials for the source system. click Next
Note:
Insert Administrator USERID and Password only not other user
4. In Converter Security warning-> Click Yes to continue.
5. Enter the destination server address and login credentials for the system running VMware ESX/ESXi. Click Next
Note:
Insert Administrator USERID and Password only not other user
6. In Converter Security Warning Wizard -> Click on Ignore
7. Insert the virtual machine Name
8.Select the location for the New virtual machine
9. Review the system parameters on the option tab.
10. Increasing the volume of destination machine. Go to Data to copy -> Edit -> Advanced option
11. Under Tab Device -> Edit -> Increases memory & CPU (number of virtual sockets & number of core per sockets)
12. Increasing the Network Adapter to connect.. under Tab Network -> Edit
13. Under tab Advance option -> Edit. You can set post - conversion Power state
14. It's very important to set Helper VM network.
Note: when we convert a powered on Linux machine, converter standalone creates a Helper virtual machine to clone the destination. The Helper virtual machine needs network access to the sources machine to clone the source file. ( Be sure the IP address you specify for the Helper virtual machine is not already in use in the network.)
15. Review your configuration on the summary tab; then Click Finish to perform the migration.
