In comparison with most converters, the solution from StarWind allows for dual-direction migration between different formats and hypervisors. Next goes some cool stuff from VMware. VMs can migrate directly to the vSphere environment.
During migration, a small agent needs to be installed on the source machine. Migration could be done by running VMs with no downtime.
Moreover, conversion of several VMs could be done simultaneously. A little bit standing out of the crowd tool is 5nine V2V Easy Converter. Unlike previous converters, it has got its free and paid versions with different functionality. You need to power off the VMware VMs. Anti-virus apps must be supported. VMware tools must be uninstalled from the guest operating system of the VM.
It also converts physical machines and disks to Hyper-V hosts. It won't be available after June 3, Linux users will be pleased to discover that VMware Converter is now available on Linux free of charge. As a user of VMware products this makes me very happy, meaning I do not have to be booting the Windows machine just to use VMware Converter. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager.
VMware Converter is the too you need to Convert Physical Machines to Virtual Machines - you can now use the intuitive wizard-driven interface of VMware Converter to convert your physical machines to virtual machines. This screen contained a whole lot of information that the tutorial skipped over. Thick-provisioned disks are virtual disks that reserve as much space on the datastore as they are assigned. Notice the Used space and Total space columns, as shown below. The used space is significantly smaller than the physically allocated space.
Click on the Destination layout tab. This tab contains information about each volume that the VMware converter will create. You can see below that it defaults to a Thick -provisioned type. This saves valuable system resources that can be provisioned to other machines that need additional resources in the short term. Click on the Other tab, and you can then adjust the number of virtual sockets and cores along with the virtualized disk controller.
Imagine for a moment you are converting a virtual machine that will need a second vNIC for load balancing purposes. Your virtual host has plenty of physical NICs distributed among all your VM guests as virtual switches and virtual networks.
To accommodate this scenario, you can allocate those additional vNICs during the conversion process. These settings could have unintended consequences when changed during conversion. If you have to make any firewall rule adjustments, for example, your MAC addresses will change and have to be updated.
One option, in particular, Synchronize the Destination Machine with Changes Made to the Source Machine , is a nice feature when converting Windows computers. This helper VM processes the data the Converter accumulates throughout the conversion process. To function properly, the helper VM needs network access to the source machine so that the Convert can clone files from the source machine.
