Hi there all. I'm in the process of attempting to transfer a currently running Windows server into a VM to run under ESXi5.1. I installed the VMware vCenter Converter Standallone software onto the target server, and ran it with the options that I thought were corrent and let it do it's thing. Unfortunatley it generated a vmkd file that I can not deply from the vSphere client application.
So the question is.
Am i using the correct tool for the job, and if not what should i be using? If I am, how do i get it to create a OVA file.
I know that one of the options you get when setting up the conversion is to set the destination type to VMware Infrastructure VM, but the current server isn't connected to the host that the VM will be running on, so I can't use this option.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
