Hi all, I used the standalone converter application to convert a .tib SCO Unix image to a VM and automatically transfer it to the ESXi 5 server. An 8GB image, took 6 hours.
Strange I thought, so I ran the converter again on the same file but this time just saved it locally on the same Windows machine the converter was on, it took 15 minutes. So for some reason it takes ages and ages to transfer to the ESXi 5 server.
Is there a faster way to transfer it over? I'm going to do it live soon (testing at the moment) and having the server offline for that long seems unreasonable. Is there a way to manually copy the converted VM over first, then add it to the inventory? I'm a little bit new to this!
