I was doing a migration from Physical server to Virtual server, specifically in VMWare ESXi Hypervisor v.6.7
Luckily VMWare does have a FREE tools called VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone, download here. As of writing the latest version is v.6.2.0
The installation is very simple and straightforward, you just need to ensure the following ports is open at the firewall.
(A) Server Ports.
1. TCP = 443, 445, 139, 9089, 9090
2. UDP = 137, 138
(B) Client Ports.
1. TCP = 443
The above ports need to be enabled at the Firewall and I've only done the P2V from Windows Server 2008 R2 to ESXi v.6.7 Hypervisor. I've yet to try the Linux OS thus unsure how it will works.
Take note that the "Source" server must also have the Converter installed as "Agent", then from the "Server" Converter connect to the "Source" to perform the conversion.
!!! HAPPY COMPUTING !!!
