FAQ Issue One: Unable to complete Converter AGETN installation on " 172.*.*.* " , a reboot is pending from a previous uninstallation. Reboot the remote machine and try again. "

A: If you are prompted, the reason why you cannot migrate is because the source host has been migrated once and the system has not been restarted since the last migration. Restarting the physical host will solve the problem.
