Got this message when attempting P2v of Windows 2003 SP2 server on Workgroup. Using the IP address and local administrator account to login to server and connecting to vCenter to add the VM to the host. The source server is on a workgroup and vCenter server reside in domain but I am able to ping from source to vCenter and source to vConverter server and vice-versa. So, does not appear to be a firewall issue nor port issue. My account exists on vCenter DataCenter as Administrator so I should have no issues with permissioning.
FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion:
'Platform-specific error 2338'
Message occurs at: Task: Convert physical machine.
One more note: The ESXi 5.0 host that I am trying to place the VM on has dual 10G uplinks set to Full while the physical server has a 1G NIC. It's still mismatch duplexing but don't know if this would be an issue here. Also, am using vCenter Converter standalone ver5.1 to vCenter 5.0 on ESXi 5.0 build 1117897. Standard vSwitch configuration.
Have tried to locate what this error means and thusfar am drawing a blank. Any assistance appreciated.
Thanks very much
