To change the vCenter Converter server IP address by using a command-line utility:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter
C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter
extension.xml
file in any text editor to find and replace all instances of the old vCenter Converter server IP address with the new IP address. C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter
vmware-converter.exe -ext "<converter_server_program_data_folder>\extension.xml" -extUpdate -vc <vc_ip> -user <user_name> -password <password> "<converter_server_program_data_folder>\converter-server.xml"
Here: <converter_server_program_data_folder>
is the folder that contains the extension.xml
file <vc_ip>
is the IP address or host name of the vCenter Server system with which you want to register the vCenter Converter Server <user_name>
and <password>
are the user name and password for this vCenter Server system Note: If a vSphere Client with vCenter Converter plug-in is open and connected to the vCenter Server that uses the vCenter Converter Server with the changed IP address, you must restart this vSphere Client and the vCenter Converter services on the vCenter Server so the vCenter Converter plug-in can detect and apply the changes.
