This agent attempts to execute a series of Linux commands (e.g., fdisk , lvm , df , mount ) to build a block-level map of the disk. Try the conversion wizard again
When using to convert a physical Linux machine or a VM from another platform (e.g., KVM, Xen) to a VMware virtual machine, the conversion process may fail at the source identification stage with an error similar to: This agent attempts to execute a series of Linux commands (e
After deploying the agent, Converter communicates back to the Converter server on a dynamic high port (typically TCP/443 or 902 for SSL, and an ephemeral port range). If the Linux source has an outbound firewall (iptables/nftables) or an intermediate network firewall, this can break the query. Xen) to a VMware virtual machine
