  5. In Destination , type the IP address or name of vCenter Server, Username, Password, and OS Family "Windows". Click Next to continue.
  6. It will prompt a "Converter Security Warning", click "Ignore" the Certificate Warnings.
  7. In Destination Virtual Machine, type Name of server ex. KINGNET_Server01, click Next to continue.
  8. In Cluster (if you use this feature), select the server, in Datastore select EqualLogic, click Next.
  9. In Options, click Next continue or click Edit to change the diskspace and memory. Click Next.
  10. In Summary, click Finish.
You're almost done. You can see the status in real time, and wait for the conversion to complete. 

When you see the 100% complete, congratulation. You may now disconnect the Physical Server so you can configure the Virtual Machine IP Address, and test the virtual machine.

Continue the setup.
