Hi all!
First, I would like to clarify that I'm new on VMware platform and sorry if I ask a question that has an easy resolution, but reading all threads and solutions I could not solve my issue.
I'm trying to convert a Linux centOS 7 physical machine to a virtual machine in a VMware Server Esxi 6.7.0. To perform this task I'm using vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2.0. I set all wizard options, job starts but at 3% it fails with error:
FAILED: A general system error occurred: connect (`10.240.107.11'): Network is unreachable connect (`10.240.107.11'): Network is unreachable connect (`10.240.107.11'): Network is unreachable connect (`10.240.107.11'):
Network is unreachable Network error. Host 10.240.107.11 key can't be retrieved. (return code 2)
I have performed some tips given in another discussions, such as:
– SSH configuration is allowing root to access the system remotely from port 22
# grep Root /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin yes
# the setting of "PermitRootLogin without-password".
– IPtables allow connection on port 22
# iptables -L | grep ssh
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh ctstate NEW
– You are running Converter version 5.5.1 or greater (there is a known issue with older version that aren’t supporting DSA keys)
As I said before, I'm using vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2.0
– Add ALL:ALL parameter to “hosts.allow” parameter.
# cat /etc/hosts.allow
#
# hosts.allow This file contains access rules which are used to
# allow or deny connections to network services that
# either use the tcp_wrappers library or that have been
# started through a tcp_wrappers-enabled xinetd.
#
# See 'man 5 hosts_options' and 'man 5 hosts_access'
# for information on rule syntax.
# See 'man tcpd' for information on tcp_wrappers
ALL:ALL
– Check DNS suffix
I'm doing the process using ip addresses... I'm not using names.
- Check network configuration
Linux, VMware server and machine with Converter have the same ip range and same netmask
- I'm running Converter as Administrator

Any clue with be apprecieated!
Thank you in advance
