3.1 Converting a Workload to a Virtual Machine (P2V, V2V)

To initiate a peer-to-peer workload virtualization conversion job:

  1. Discover or refresh your source workload and your target VM host. See Discovering Source Workloads and Migration Targets.

  2. Start a conversion job. See Selecting a Conversion Job Setup Method.

  3. Configure the required parameters of the job. See Essentials of Workload Migration and Protection Jobs.

  4. (Optional) If you are converting a workload to a virtual machine for business continuity purposes, enable incremental synchronizations. See Scheduling and Synchronization.

  5. Run the job.
