Hello!
I am testing a proof of concept for my company where we can capture any physical machine on our network and bring it into our Hyper-V cluster. The best way I have found to do this is with VMware ESXi and converter. I have setup a test Ubuntu VM that to capture to ESXi. I installed openssh-server on the VM and can ssh into it from the .69 Windows Server using Putty. When I go to convert the VM with VMware, Isetup the job and start it. It starts with 1% about 1 hr then 2% 3hrs 15min, then 3% 1hr, then 3% 1min, then failed at 3%. Here is the status the job ends with:
FAILED: A general system error occurred: connect (`10.160.0.65'): Network is unreachable connect (`10.160.0.65'): Network is unreachable connect (`10.160.0.65'):
Network is unreachable Network error. Host 10.160.0.65 key can't be retrieved. (return code 2)
I don't understand why this is happening. All your help is appreciated. I'll be at my desk to answer any questions or post any more needed info.
Thanks in Advance!
