SCVMM 2012 SP1 - connecting to ESXi host (without vCenter Server)
Is it possible (and how) to connect ESXi host to SCVMM 2012 SP1 without vCenter Server? I want to convert vSphere 5.1 VMs to Hyper-V this way. Or is it possible (and how) to convert offline vSphere VMs to Hyper-V VMs (by using VM files instead to connecting to ESXi host / vCenter Server)?
Thanks!
Thanks!

No offense, but it is not the answer. In this question I was asking for a way to do conversion with SCVMM 2012 SP1, not by using third party tools.
But never mind, I've found the solution meanwhile.
Thanks anyway.

The question should not be canceled. It's real life question, and it is answered. I don't need any points of course, but the answer should be visible to others, because it is very helpful time-saver.

It's great to be able to convert VMs by using SCVMM even if vCenter is inaccessible (for example when migrating not just virtualization provider but datacenter also...)

Copy vmdk to Windows, run the conversion, add the VHD to a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V, done.
