简单介绍：

　　Converter将开机的Win2008r2系统P2V到另一个ESXI上

问题报错：

　　 A file I/O error occurred while accessing ”.

使用Export log导出Converter日志，报错内容如下：

error vmware-converter-server[01288] [Originator@6876 sub=Ufa.HTTPService] Failed to read request; stream: <io_obj p:0x03dc40ac, h:-1, <pipe ‘\\.\pipe\vmware-converter-server-soap’>, <pipe ‘\\.\pipe\vmware-converter-server-soap’>>, error: class Vmacore::TimeoutException(Operation timed out)

谷歌之后查到报错原因：

　　虚拟机所在的源ESXI与目标ESXI不能互通

解决办法：

　　P2V时勾选proxy mode复选框

官方文档介绍：

If the proxy mode feature is off, the data traffic passes from the source machine directly to the destination server.

If the proxy mode feature is on, the data traffic passes from the source machine through the
Converter Standalone server to the destination server. The proxy mode feature enables conversion
processes when the source machine does not have direct access to the destination ESXi server.
