Purpose

VMware Technical Support routinely requests diagnostic information from you when a support request is handled. This diagnostic information contains product specific logs and configuration files from the host on which the product is run. The information is gathered using a specific script or tool for each product.

This article provides procedures for obtaining diagnostic information for VMware Converter.

The diagnostic information collected can then be uploaded to VMware Technical Support. To uniquely identify your information, use the Support Request (SR) number you received when you opened your Support Request.

Instructions for opening a support request can be found online at www.vmware.com/support/policies/howto.html.

Instructions for uploading your support files can be found online at Uploading diagnostic information to VMware (1008525) .

Instructions for obtaining diagnostic information for other VMware products can be found online at Collecting diagnostic information for VMware products (1008524) .

Note: When submitting a support request with VMware Technical Support for a problem reported with VMware vCenter Converter, ensure to provide this information, as applicable:

The version of VMware vCenter Converter being used. If this version is older than the newest available version, verify if this issue can be reproduced in the latest version.

The operating system that is running on the machine being converted or reconfigured.

If the problem is encountered during the Converter task configuration wizard, include the screen details where the problem is observed. If an error is displayed, provide the error message and the screen details.

If the problem is encountered after the conversion task is submitted, provide the task percentage reported at the time of failure and also include any errors that are displayed in the task area of the application.

Resolution

The procedure required to collect diagnostic information for VMware Converter is different for each version. Follow the section that matches your version of Converter.

For Windows look in the directory %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\Logs and gather all files.

For Linux look in the directory $HOME/.vmware/VMware vCenter Converter Standalone/Logs and gather all files.

To collect agent logs from the computer that is being converted:

For Windows look in the directory C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-temp and gather all files that begin with vmware-converter .

For Linux look in the directory /var/log/vmware-vcenter-converter-standalone and gather all files.
