So why not use the v4.0.1 converter as we have been? Well that's OK I suppose, but you have to be careful because the OVA specification used is outdated, and doesn't support the larger VMs (Over 8GB) in OVA format, which would be preferable to OVF format. Also the release note for v4.3 says it is now compatible with 4.1 hosts, which suggests that the v4.0.1 converter will be or is unsupported where 4.1 hosts are used, like ours.
VMware VCenter Converter Standalone V4.0.1 Portable.11
VMware Converter (VMware standalone converter), now known as VMware vCenter converter Standalone, is a tool used in VMware vSphere environments to convert physical and virtual machines to VMware virtual machines, using the VMware Converter for P2V process. You can also use VMware Converter to perform V2V (virtual to virtual) conversions to convert virtual machines running in one type of virtual environment to another virtual machine. For the purposes of the post, we will refer to it simply as VMware Converter.
Different VMware converter ports are required for communication, depending on the conversion of a Windows or Linux host. Also, compared to the ports required for vmware converter p2v, V2V operations require fewer ports. 2ff7e9595c
