If a line in the file begins with echo, either delete it or change it to #echo. If authenticating as a different user, use a text editor to edit /home/user name/.bashrc, where user name is replaced by the user name being used for authentication. If authenticating as root, use a text editor to edit /root/.bashrc. Through an intuitive wizard-driven interface and a centralized management console, Converter Standalone.
bashrc file of the user name being used for authentication does not contain an echo command. VMware vCenter Converter Standalone provides an easy-to-use solution to automate the process of creating VMware virtual machines from physical machines (running Windows and Linux), other virtual machine formats, and third-party image formats. If this does not result in information being displayed, a firewall might be preventing the computer running Converter Standalone from connecting to the Linux source operating system. From the computer running Converter, open a command prompt, run telnet xxxx nn, where xxxx is replaced by the host name or IP address of the Linux source operating system and nn is replaced by the port being used for SSH.Note: For more information on opening a shell prompt, see Opening a command or shell prompt (1003892). If this does not result in a successful login, correct the problem.
Log in using the same user name and password used in the Conversion wizard. From the Linux source operating system, open a shell prompt, type ssh localhost, and press Enter.Verify that the Linux source operating system is accepting ssh traffic and that the user name and password used in Converter are correct and result in a functional shell prompt.If you perform a corrective action in any of the following steps, attempt converting the Linux source operating system again. The steps are ordered in the most appropriate sequence to isolate the issue and identify the proper resolution. Each step provides instructions or a link to a document, in order to eliminate possible causes and take corrective action as necessary. Third party image formats can also be converted over to VMware virtual machines as well. You must perform both troubleshooting steps listed below. VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is a converter that is capable of switching Windows or Linux physical machines over to VMware virtual machines.
