The following workflow demonstrates the principles of hot cloning physical machine sources that run Linux
to managed destinations.
1 Converter Standalone uses SSH to connect to the source machine and retrieves source information.
Converter Standalone creates an empty helper virtual machine based on your conversion task settings.
The helper virtual machine serves as a container for the new virtual machine during conversion. Converter
Standalone deploys the helper virtual machine on the managed destination, an ESX/ESXi host. The helper
virtual machine boots from a *.iso file that is located on the Converter Standalone server machine.

2 The helper virtual machine powers on, boots from the Linux image, connects to the source machine
through SSH, and starts retrieving the selected data from the source. While you set up the conversion task,
you can select which source volumes to be copied to the destination machine.

3 Optionally, after data is copied, the destination virtual machine is reconfigured to allow the operating
system to boot in a virtual machine.
4 Converter Standalone shuts down the helper virtual machine. The conversion process is complete.
You can configure Converter Standalone to power on the newly created virtual machine after the
conversion is complete.
Prepare for Cold Cloning
Because Converter Standalone 4.3 does not support cold cloning, you must use the Boot CD of an earlier
vCenter Converter edition. The features supported on the Boot CD depend on the product version you choose.
When you cold clone a machine, you reboot the source machine from a CD that has its own operating system
and also includes the vCenter Converter application. You can find a detailed description of the cold cloning
process in the documentation of the Boot CD you select to use.
VMware vCenter Converter 4.1.x is not a free software product.
