Hi,

Please turn off the VM and convert it. https://www.starwindsoftware.com/v2v-he ... erver.html
Alternatively, try converting disks one by one with the repair mode enabled. https://www.starwindsoftware.com/v2v-he ... erver.html

You should turn off the VM and convert it.

That's right to turn off VMs before conversion.

The instance is going to be a single system ... the VMX file represents the entire Virtual Machine.
the .NVRAM (when running) is just that ... NVRAM.
There is a vswp (virtual swap file), VMDK (Virtual machine Disk).
Even with Virtual Server, you have VMC (virtual machine configuration), VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) ...
It sounds like you want all of the files that comprise a VM put into one (like an archive or something).
That's not the average virtual machine.
