Check out the official VMware documentation to find out

by default, during the Linux P2V conversion process, Converter Standalone has a 20-minute timeout waiting for the helper virtual machine to start
The Linux P2V conversion task may fail due to a connection timeout.
Workaround:By modifyingconverter-worker.xmlIn the filelinuxP2VBootTimeouttoken, which extends the timeout period, in milliseconds.

2. On the computer that is running the Converter Standalone server, browse to %allusersprofile%\application data\vmware\vmware Converter standalone\ The converter-worker.xml file in this location.

4. Open the converter-worker.xml file in a text editor and replace the linuxp2vboottimeout default value with the desired time-out value in milliseconds.
   Note: The timeout value is in milliseconds. To specify the timeout value in minutes, multiply the number of minutes by 60000 and use that value.

6. To restart the Converter Standalone Worker, do the following:
   Reboot the system or open the Services section of the Microsoft Management console and locate and restart the VMware Converter Worker service.
