converting is an ACTIVE job, meaning you are converting a resource into the ESX.<br />
what was it converting? the laptop? <br />
if the action is between machines that are stored on storage connected to ESX than you can shut down the laptop safely -<br />
if the laptop is intermediating than then answer is no..<br />
<br />
Hope this answers your question..<br />

No, I was converting one virtual machine over to another host and I used my laptop to launch the converter since the VM is offline.<br />
<br />
I'm doing a V2V migration

then it should be fine..<br />
<br />
when you log in to the esx server you are not seeing this task running/completed?

A lack of information provides a lack of a decent solution.

Andrew - Are you sure that even if he used the laptop to create the V2V/P2V task it will not run on the esx server?<br />
<br />
Alex - If you do not see the task or it appears as &quot;filed&quot; you have the answer..

Morning,<br />
<br />
If I've kicked off a Vmware convert on my laptop and I shut it down, does it stop the convert job or does that run on ESXi or something?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Morning,

If I've kicked off a Vmware convert on my laptop and I shut it down, does it stop the convert job or does that run on ESXi or something?

Thanks,

Shutting down laptop that's running VMware converter.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
