Regarding P2V "Agent cannot be connected" message

[Minoru Asano]

Hello,

We would like to know whether we can P2V beyond L3 switch, which is connected another
subnet.

At the hpvmmsvc.log, the following log was recorded:
INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/09/28 14:05:26 | DEBUG - ** dstVLI = [[manufacturer=VMware name=ESX version=2.5.3 build-22981] numberOfVMs=3]

[QUESTION]
- Can we execute P2V beyond L3 switch which is connected another network ?
- Could you tell me any hint for solve this trouble? What shall we do ?

Thank you for support and advice.
Best Regards.

The condition for P2V is that the CMS, Source and Target machines must be able to ping each other no matter which network they are in.

Also if you have a firewall, it should be configured to allow TCP traffic on the following ports : 1125 and 1126

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Thank you for reply.

We guess that the trouble has happened due to specification for SMP 2.0.2.
The network segment of source machine was different from target ESX server.
So we recommend that those machine set to same network segment.

Thank you.
Best Regards.
