Anyone used Vmware Converter standalone 5 to move a powered-on VM to another ESX host, with a firewall in between? I'm having a hell of a time. I've opened ports as per kb articles, installed the converter agent manually on the source, but when the conversion runs it instantly fails with "a general system error occurred, unknown exception". Looking at the logs, it suggests SSL might be the problem. I've disabled SSL in the converter-worker.xml file but still no go.
I'm pulling my hair out now, nothing seems to work. Has anyone got any ideas?
