Here are examples of site registration and performing migration task through the API:Site registrationcurl -X POST :8080/api/sites -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '"sitename":"my-vc", "hostname":"vcenter.server.com","username":"administrator@vsphere.local","password":"mysecret","insecure":false'Migration taskcurl -X POST :8080/api/tasks -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '"operationType":"relocate","sourceSite":"site1","targetSite":"site2","sourceDatacenter":"Datacenter","vmList":["vm1", "vm2", "vm3"],"targetDatacenter":"Datacenter","targetCluster":"Cluster","targetHost":null,"targetDatastore":"Datastore","networkMap":"Private Network":"Internal Network", "VM Network":"VM Network"'NotesApplication logs are stored in xvm.log file.
Site connection details (excluding password) are stored in xvm.dat file on disk.
SSL keys for vCenter servers are stored in xvm.ks keystore file.
The app stores migration task state in memory, implying a restart of the app loses information about migration tasks.

Vmware Vcenter Converter Standalone 3.0 3 Download
P2V conversions of SLES 9 sources cannot complete, if the root directory is located on an LVM disk When you select to convert a physical SLES 9 source, Converter Standalone cannot complete the conversion if the root directory is located on an LVM disk. After the conversion job is 99% complete, the job status changes to Failed and the following entry is added to the log: FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'Failed to restore original lvm in initrd image: /usr/lib/vmware-converter/restoreLvmInInitrd.sh failed with return code: 1, and message: * Unpacking initrd image /mnt/p2v-src-root//boot/initrd cpio: unsupported cpio format, use newc or crc ERROR: Unable to unpack initrd image /mnt/p2v-src-root//boot/initrd ' Workaround: Convert the LVM disk to a basic disk.
Linked cloning of standalone VMware sources to Linux SMB shared destination fails Linked cloning tasks of VMware standalone sources to SMB shared destinations that run on Linux fail with the following error: converter.fault.FileIOFault.

B) I tried also to install vcenter converter standalone on windows machine. In this case, all works fine until Summary Review conversione parameters. If click finish to start conversion, in vcenter I can see create and then delete vm tasks, but in converter standalone I get a "A general system error occurred: unknown internal error"
Using Vm Converter 5.0 to do P2V a linux server. But getting a read only file system on VmLinux after conversion. I was wondering if someone knows a working procedure to convert physical Linux to vmware using converter 5. I looked but all I found using converter 4.0 + using Boot CD. For converter 5.0 do we still need boot CD or enabling SSH on linux....etc. If someone can help with a step by step procedure really appreciated.
I trying to copy a vm that's on an old amd processor to another system with a newer socket amd processor using the latest vm converter standalone. I get the following error "Unable to validate the destination. Error:vmodl.fault.SystemError" the esxi 5.1 versions are the same on both servers and the difference is the older is regular SATA vs SATA raid controller on the newer system. Any help will be greatly appreciated. The VM that im trying to move over is Windows 2008 R2 64 bit.
The system is an ubuntu 10 system. The error I get is "FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'GrubInstaller::InstallGrub: /usr/lib/vmware-converter/installGrub.sh failed with return code: 127, and message: Installing GRUB1 on (hd0)... /vmware-updateGrub.sh: 59: grub:not found Error installing GRUB Error running vmware-updateGrub.sh through chroot into /mnt/p2v-src-root '"
