Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.

In order this warning is not shown, in the browser you have to open the FQDN server name, for which the certificate is issued. Other systems do not trust them and show a warning or block the connection with these websites. To disable the warning, we can add the self-signed certificate in the list of trusted certificates.

Or we can replace it with our own one issued by a trusted certification authority. Let us consider the first variant, the procedure is trivial, but there are some not quite obvious moments. So, when we open a vCenter server webpage in the browser, a window with the following warning will appear:.

We save the file to any directory. The name of the file is download with no extension. Then we change the extension of download to download. The cert archive contains 2 files with the extensions. Change the file extension. Suppose, we want this certificate to be trusted only with the current account.

Open certmgr. We select the certificate file obtained earlier and place it to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. Generally, these guidelines are applicable to vCenter Server Appliance. There will be no link to download the archive with the certificate. Be sure to choose a datastore that has plenty of free space. Also, always specify the virtual machine version that matches your VMware Infrastructure supported version. Version 17 is supported on ESXi 7. Select the check box for Install VMware Tools on the destination virtual machine under Post-conversion processing.

VMware Tools provides a set of services that enhance the manageability of a VMware virtual machine. You want this on your converted VM. Finally, on the Summary page, review the configuration settings, and when satisfied, click Finish to begin the conversion process.

Once the Status has changed to Completed , start the newly converted virtual machine. Since the tutorial is using ESXi, the below screenshot is showing that. Log into the newly-created VM and verify all networking, services, and apps are working correctly. When converting a physical or Hyper-V host in the last section, you came across an Options screen. This screen contained a whole lot of information that the tutorial skipped over.

Thick-provisioned disks are virtual disks that reserve as much space on the datastore as they are assigned. Notice the Used space and Total space columns, as shown below.

The used space is significantly smaller than the physically allocated space. Click on the Destination layout tab. This tab contains information about each volume that the VMware converter will create. You can see below that it defaults to a Thick -provisioned type.

This saves valuable system resources that can be provisioned to other machines that need additional resources in the short term. Click on the Other tab, and you can then adjust the number of virtual sockets and cores along with the virtualized disk controller. Imagine for a moment you are converting a virtual machine that will need a second vNIC for load balancing purposes.

Your virtual host has plenty of physical NICs distributed among all your VM guests as virtual switches and virtual networks. To accommodate this scenario, you can allocate those additional vNICs during the conversion process. These settings could have unintended consequences when changed during conversion.
