I am trying to convert a server running windows server 2003 and it failed during the conversion process can anyone point me in the right direction?

The converter is installed on a win 7 machine if thats important.

Logs attached.

I'm trying to convert a running physical Windows Server 2003 machine using Converter 5.0. The target is a VMware Server 2.x box.

When I launch the wizard and enter credentials for the powered-on machine, I'm using its IP address and an account in its domain (IT). The VMware Server machine is in a different domain and forest.

After I put in the credentials, I get the following error:

A general system error occurred: Crypto Exception: error:02001005:system library:fopen:Input/output error:unable to load C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\ssl\rui.crt

Here's what I've tried so far:

1. Verified that the target rui.crt file exists at the specified path and that the domain account I'm using to run the converter has full access to it.

2. Running the converter using the Windows 2003 "Run As" command, specifying the domain admin account I'm currently logged in with and unchecking "Run this program with restricted access"

3. Running with "Run As" using a different domain admin account

4. Removing and reinstalling the converter

The conversion starts normally if I run the client from the machine hosting VMware Server and let it connect to the agent on the source machine, but I'd like to know why the client fails when run directly on the source, as I have several of these machines to convert. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hello

I am trying to create a vm from a physical server fails at 1% from the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone client with the error:

FAILED: A general system error occurred: failed to poweron vm

The vmware-converter-server-1 log contains the following, (last 30 or so lines) below.

I have found a few topics regarding this error, but they did not work, such as assigning a static IP over using DHCP.

Environment:
VMware Server - ESXi 4.1
Physical machine - RHEL 5.5
VMware vCenter Converter Standalone client, version 5.0.0 Build-470252

Any/all help is greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to do P2V for our active directory domain controller. The source machine is a windows 2008 R2. I'm getting a VSS error on the DC.

I'm seeing this error in converter. "Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume. Error code 2147754753 (0x80042301).

The source machine is in DSRM mode as we cannot perform an online migration of active directory domain controller.

On the server I can see log for VSS Event ID 84 i.e. This machine is a Domain Controller in Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM), Backup cannot be performed in this case, please reboot out of DSRM.

Please help me regarding this as I am stuck and not able to get any resolution for this issue.

Hi everyone.

I was used VMware Converter Standalone 6.0 to converter server 2003 on Hyper-V to host ESX of vCenter.

Hyper-V have IP : 10.132.2.200

vCenter have IP: 10.132.2.177

Host ESXi have IP : 10.132.2.192

We haven't policy firewall for 3 IP this. All ports are open in Firewall.

But, when I convertering 1% that have error with status : FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'The operation experienced a network error'

So, Can you help me fix case this ?

Best regards.

Can someone give a hand?

Thanks in advance.

I keep getting this error and i have checked all the steps with the helper VM and it gets stuck at 1% then errors after about three hours this is with a static IP for the helper address. converter 5.1 is what i'm using

Thanks!

I have tried converting a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 32 bit from physical to virtuel with VMWare Converter 5.5.

But every time it fail with "this Unable to update drive letters for the destination volume layout".

I have tried searching for it, but with no luck.

Hi - when using VMware Converter what is the reason for creating 1 vmdk file when doing a P2V of a server that has 2 disks? Why doesn't it create two vmdk files?

Do most people just run the converter several times selecting 1 disk at a time??

When I select the C: and D: volumes of the server and resize them - instead of creating 2x15GB vmdk's it creates a 30GB vmdk.

What's best??

I am trying to convert a windows home server version 1 to use after migrating to windows server 2011.

I initially succeeded creating a VM, but I created it for Workstation 8x instead of Server2.

On my next 3 attempts each time the conversion fails at 95 or 97% with the error:

FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'File-level volume clone error failed with sourcevolume id \WindowsBitmapDriverVolumieId=[DC-7xxxx] and target volume id <-07?).  Error code: 112'

Pardon my ignorance, but what information will help troubleshoot this error from the logs.  I exported a log but it produces a bunch of converter-gui-#.log.gz and vmware-converter-server-#.log.gz files.

thanks for the help.

Hi All,

I have a Laptop with

     6 GB RAM,

     300 GB HDD, 

     2 CPU (1 socket and 2 cores)

     Windows 7 64 bit OS.

I am having external HDD (2TB capacity with 460 GB free space) which will have the destination folder for the VM.

When I try to convert this using  VMware converter standalone I am getting this following error.

"FAILED: The VSS snapshots cannot be stored because there is not enough space on the source volumes or because the source machine does not have any NTFS volumes. Error code: 2147754783 (0x8004231F)."

I have attached the error log for your reference.

Thanks in advance to all for helping to overcome this issue.

Cheers

I am attaching the logs files for all the pros who could help me resolve this.

I'm trying to P2V a Windows 2003 Server into my vCenter 5.5 enviroment.

Appreciate your help!

Hi All,

I see a error when doing P2V using converter 5.5.0 (An error occurred while opening a virtual disk. Verify that the converter server and the running source machines have a network access to the source and destination ESX/ESXi hosts).

Any suggestions are welcomed.

Target is vCenter here and from there selected ESX host where the VM gets created and then deleted.

Logs attached.

Regards,

Ajay

Hello, I am planning to V2V (as part of the datacentre migration) a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller (DC) to new datacentre. As it’s not best practice to convert/ clone domain controller, I am stopping all AD related services and doing the V2V conversion.  When V2V finishes, I power on target VM, connect the network and start the services. We have other live domain controllers in the network.

As I am stopping the AD services, I am assuming that server is down from AD point of view. Is it right assumption?

Do you see any issues? Appreciate your thoughts on this.

I can’t use cold clone. OVF method or parallel DC build and migrate roles for some other reasons. I have no access to source vCenter server.

Cheers!!

Hello,

I am trying to migrate my Virtual machine from Esx 4.1 to Esx 5.5. This is completely on new vCenter. However, when i trying to migrate using VM Ware vCenter Converter Standalone, i am getting error "A File I/O error occurred while Accessing." This error shows when i click "finish" on the summary. Attached the diagnose file. Any expert, please advise.

I'm trying to do a VM to VM conversion to reduce the amount of space being taken up. I've tried 3 times and always get the same error message:

GrubInstaller::InstallGrub: Failed to read GRUB configuration from /mnt/p2v-src-root/boot/grub2/grub.cfg

When the VM boots, I'm immediately shown a grub prompt. I tried to use a grub rescue disk but it says that there is no known filesystem detected.

Using the CentOS 7 minimal boot iso, I can access the file system. I'm just not sure what I should do from that point?

Using the latest version of VMWare Converter 6.1, the OS is CentOS 7 fully updated.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Dear all,

Sunday we converted a win 2003 sbs to an esxi server 6.0.

About the convertion no problem, but when the machine is up and running the access to the server sbs is very very slow.

All customers machine have the same issue and also when we try to manage the server from the console.

We had to stop the machine and set back the old server online in order to let users work.

Any idea why the sbs 2003 is so slow?

Thanks in adavnce for your reply.

Pardon my question if it is obvious as I am new to virtualization and VMWare.

I have a computer set up as a Linux machine. I want to move that machine to a virtual machine and run it on my Windows XP machine under VMWare server. Can I convert from Linux physical to Linux virtual with the Converter? Can I convert it on the Linux machine or do I do it remotely on the Windows machine?

All help is greatly appreciate as I start to build on my knowledge and skills of virtualization.

Thanks in advance.

Mike
