What Is VMware vCenter Converter Standalone?

VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is a migration tool for moving supported physical systems and virtual machines from other platforms into VMware virtual infrastructure. It can help reduce the manual work involved in rebuilding operating systems and applications on new virtual machines.

Depending on the source operating system and destination environment, the conversion process may use different source-access methods and helper components. Supported configurations depend on the Converter release, source OS, destination VMware platform, and available permissions.

Key Features

Physical-to-virtual migration

Convert supported physical Windows or Linux systems into VMware virtual machines.

Virtual-to-virtual migration

Migrate supported virtual machines from non-VMware or other supported source environments.

Guided conversion workflow

Configure the source, destination, virtual-machine settings, and conversion tasks through a wizard.

Disk and volume configuration

Review supported disk layouts and adjust conversion settings according to the selected workflow.

Migration task monitoring

Track conversion progress and investigate task errors through the Converter interface and logs.

VMware infrastructure integration

System Requirements and Compatibility

Converter requirements vary according to the source operating system, destination platform, and selected migration method. Before starting, check the release-specific documentation instead of assuming that every operating system or VMware version is supported.

  • Converter installation host: A supported Windows computer or Windows virtual machine.
  • Source system: A physical machine or virtual machine using a supported operating system and source-access method.
  • Destination: A VMware environment supported by the selected Converter release.
  • Network connectivity: Required communication between the Converter host, source, and destination systems as specified by the migration method.
  • Permissions: Sufficient source credentials and destination VMware privileges to read the source and create or configure the destination VM.
  • Storage: Adequate destination datastore capacity for the converted disks and expected virtual-machine growth.
Compatibility guidance: The fact that a system can be discovered does not guarantee that its operating system, boot firmware, disk layout, drivers, or destination virtual hardware is supported. Check Broadcom’s version-specific documentation before scheduling production migrations.

  6. Launch Converter Standalone and configure a small test migration before using the tool for a production system.
  7. After conversion, verify that the destination VM boots correctly and that its network, storage, applications, and services work as expected.

For detailed conversion procedures and supported migration workflows, consult the Broadcom technical documentation portal and the release-specific Converter documentation.

Important Considerations Before Migration

  • Back up the source system and verify that the backup can be restored.
  • Confirm the source OS and destination VMware compatibility.
  • Plan the network configuration and IP-address changes for the converted VM.
  • Review application licensing and activation requirements after migration.
  • Test boot, storage, network connectivity, and critical application functions before production cutover.
  • Keep the original source available until the converted system has been validated and approved.
