![]() Use the VMware Converter² Virtual Appliance as target server for VMware Converter and migrate virtual machines from this host to your 5.1 hosts. Especially when you’re using iSCSI or NFS you can connect this host to your storage volumes very easily. In my case all hosts are upgraded to 5.1, so I came up with the idea of the “ VMware Converter Converter Virtual Appliance“…which is nothing more than a virtual machine that is running ESXi 5.0. This workaround will work, if you have not upgraded all your hosts or if have a spare host (and license) available. Use the 5.0 host for the conversion and then migrate the virtual machine to an ESX 5.1 host for upgrading the virtual hardware etc. However, the solution…or workaround, is not too exiciting: Use an ESXi 5.0 host and connect this host to vCenter 5.1. ![]() Happily VMware published a KB article which addresses this issue. After trying to connect to my freshly upgraded vCenter 5.1 server VMware Converter crashed with following error:Įxactly the same happens if you’re trying to connect directly to an ESXi 5.1 server. See this updated blogpost on this issue.Īfter an (almost) succesful upgrade to vSphere 5.1, I had to convert a VMware Workstation virtual machine to VMware vSphere 5.1 using VMware Converter 5.
