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.

To function properly, the helper VM needs network access to the source machine so that the Convert can clone files from the source machine.
