Hi Alex,
Thanks for your suggestion. When you say to make sure the helper VM can resolve the name of the ESXi host, how do I do this? In my scenario, the helper VM deletes itself as soon as the job fails.
Are you using version 5.1.0 of Converter Standalone too? Last November I did a successful Linux P2V using the version of Converter prior to 5.1.0. If I can still get my hands on that earlier version, I'm going to try it out on this one and will let you all know how I get on.
Thanks,
George.
