Hi
Might put some light on your query, Ensure that you have this ports open in your environment as well as you have installed the converter agent in your physical machine?
Ports for Converting a powered on Linux operating system (P2V)
Source | Destination | TCP Ports | Notes |
Converter server | Source computer | 22 | The Converter server must be able to establish an SSH connection with the source computer. |
Converter client | Converter server | 443 | Only required if a custom installation was performed and the Converter server and client portions are on different computers. |
Converter server | VirtualCenter | 443 | Only required if the conversion target is VirtualCenter. |
Converter server | ESX | 443, 902, 903 | If the conversion target is VirtualCenter, only ports 902 and 903 are required. |
Converter server | Helper virtual machine | 443 | |
Helper virtual machine | Source computer | 22 | The helper virtual machine must be able to establish an SSH connection with the source computer. By default the helper virtual machine gets its IP address assigned by DHCP. If there is no DHCP server available on the network chosen for the target virtual machine you must manually assign it an IP address. |
