  • Thank you so much for the video. Any link we can download VMware vCenter Converter Standalone please?
  • VMware converter was / is a software that I often used for work. now that vmware has deprecated it, are there any predictions if and when it will release an alternative to this much-loved program? alternatives to carry out the same operations?
  • Thank you for the video 👍 I am in a situation converting CentOs 7.7 physical machine using 6.2 version converter and it got failed at 96%
  • @JustRelax-br1ku
    HI, Can you please provide clarification on the ports those need to be enabled for every conversion. Also where exactly the ports have to enable. Thanks !!
  • @zakariak5200
    Can i do it for a remote linux machine without using VMware infrastructure server ? Because when I chose linux I am not able to change the destination type. Or is there another software that could do it ?
