Slow VMWare Converter 5

0Comments

I’ve been trying to convert a physical machine for a couple of days now.  Each time, I’d only get ~2 to ~3MB/s.  It was terrible.  I finally found the solution here.  After the change, I got 10x the speed, ~28MB/s.  Here’s the solution:

Choose Start > Run … and enter this path…

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone

Edit Converter-worker.xml

Change UseSSL to false.

Important!  Restart the Worker service.

That’s it.  If it doesn’t work, check the article linked to above for more ideas.

That said, he spends way too much time testing cutting-edge gadgets that often come with promises of making things better and faster, but often fail to live up to those promises.  And they usually fail on the cheaper front as well.
