Timeout on migrating VM from VMWare server to Vsphere
Posted on 2011-03-06
Hi,
I have a VMWare Server installation with VMs that I'm trying to migrate to a new Vsphere server using the VMWare Go site. It starts copying the files and then eventually times out. Is this timeout value configurable, or is there another way to do the migration? This VM has a 16 and 30 gig drive defined.
Thanks!

Download and install VMware Converter 4.3 standalone (http://www.vmware.com/products/converter) and use that to do your migration.

Hi,
Thanks, will check that out. I'd always thought that was strictly a p2v package.
