Convert physical to ESXi machine using VMware vCenter Converter?

  • 772

I want to convert a physical machine to a virtual machine using VMware vCenter Converter. According to the product page of VMware vCenter Converter I should be able to create a virtual machine for ESXi, however during the conversion wizard I can only choose various versions of Workstation, Fusion, Player and Server as target type, not ESXi?

vmware-esxi

    You should choose a destination type of "VMWare Infrastructure virtual machine" and point it to the address of your ESXi server or vCenter server. The result will be a powered-off VM on the ESXi host.
