Remote Hot Cloning of Physical Machine Sources That Are Running Linux
The conversion process of physical machines that are running Linux operating systems differs from that of
Windows machines.
In Windows conversions, the Converter Standalone agent is installed on the source machine and the source
information is pushed to the destination.
In Linux conversions, no agent is deployed on the source machine. Instead, a helper virtual machine is created
and deployed on the destination ESX/ESXi host. The source data is then copied from the source Linux machine
to the helper virtual machine. After the conversion is complete, the helper virtual machine shuts down to
become the destination virtual machine the next time you power it on.
Converter Standalone supports conversion of Linux sources only to managed destinations.
