Hello.
The machine i need to convert is at a customer and i have remote access to it and other machines too.. But my problem is that i do not have access to the ESXi server from the physical machine and that seems to be an requirement?? Can anyone help me answer that?
Ideally you would have access to the ESXi host, yes. You can use the Destination Type of "VMware Workstation or other VMware virtual machine" in Converter and then copy those files to the location where the ESXi 5 host is and run Converter again. You don't need vCenter Server for P2V conversions, and Acronis True Image Echo 9.1, 9.5 and Acronis True Image Home 10 and 11 (.tib) formats are supported, so you could also go that route. Either way, you are looking at a two-step process without access to the ESXi host from the source machine.
32GB is the memory limit for the free ESXi.
Good Luck!
