Converter and Windows activation

$
0
0

 

Hi,

 

 

I'm running my ESX 3.5 during the 60 days trial mode, and during this period I need to test our main servers in VM mode. For this reason I donloaded VMWare Converter 3.0.2u1 and converted two Win2003 server. But at the en of the job I was unable to login onto the new VMs because windows "must be activated". Is there a way to perform the conversion by exactly cloning the two systems, without asking for activation ? This conversion is for test only, so I cannot dismiss the real server by now. What I would like to do is convert the real server comlletely, keeping the same names, IP, etc, then switch off the real servers, power on the VMs and see if all goes ok. So, I will not run the real and virtual machine at the same time, but I need to keep the real servers ready and activated.

 

 

Is there a solution for this issue ? Thanks and bye, Stefano

 

 

 

 

 


There is no '/boot' directory mounted...but it is mounted

I'm trying to convert a remote linux server, and have run into a problem. I launch VMware vCenter Converter Standalone and can successfully connect to the remote machine (by IP address or hostname). However, the next thing it does is give the following error:

 

There is no '/boot' directory mounted on the source machine. It is required to create a bootable virtual machine. Please mount the '/boot' directory on the source machine.

However, /boot is mounted, as shown when I use SSH to connect to the source machine (using the same user/pass as provided to VMware Converter) and run mount -l:

 

/dev/md0 on /boot type ext3 (rw) []

Anybody run into this problem before? Any suggested solutions? The source machine is running Centos 4 (RHEL 4 clone).

hello everyone,

I'm trying to convert a physical Windows 2008 R2 (SP1) to virtual, using Vmware vCenter Converter Standalone version 5.5 build 1362012, it fails at 1% (after around 40mins) with the following message

 

FAILED: Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s). Error code:

2147754758 (0x80042306).


The windows systems has some LUNS (4 x various GB size each) from the SAN, being GUID Partition Table (GPT).  I went through the wizard typically, selecting  "powered on machine", destination "vmware workstation or other vmware virtual machine" selected vmware player 6.0.x and the target location being a LUN with 500GB space.

Now for data to copy I selected 3 of the LUNS (on which some database is residing) and put "Min size" option (but I have tried maintaining the size for different runs) to save on space.


Looking through the logs, i see the following errors

I wonder if the converter is not able to work on GPT partitions ?  (i think I've seen some community threads about this problem using v.5.1, but using 5.5 should be solved ?)

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

NTFS: deleting corrupt attribute record (128, $J)

I'm trying to do a really simple conversion from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to ESXi machine version 8. It seems to copy okay, but on the first VM boot it does an NTFS disk check and finds a bunch of errors.

 

All major services are stopped (APC Powerchute, Windows Deployment Services, Backup Exec Agent) and the antivirus uninstalled. chkdsk has been run on the source hardware and found no problems.

 

And yet after the migration I see this on first boot:

 

 

Checking file system on C:

The type of the file system is NTFS.

 

One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.

There is absolutely NO WAY that I am going to use this resulting conversion as our primary organization file server. Such corruption of the NTFS partition data is completely unacceptable. I have no way of knowing what "file record 57484 / 57632" are and if they are critical to the operation of the server.

 

Though I expect I already know what the problem is, and I cannot solve it by using VMWare Converter running on the Windows I'm trying to migrate.

 

Trying to copy a file system while it is in use is just inviting disaster because as you're copying data, something before or after wherever the copy is occurring may change so that the final copy result ends up being corrupted.

 

The only way to really prevent this mid-copy data corruption is to copy the partitions when they are not in use.

What's the best way to remove the team after the conversion?  You can't open the Broadcom utility because no adapters exist.  If you try to remove the BASP Virtual Adapter from the device manager it says "failed to uninstall the device.  The device may be required to boot up the computer"

P2V Linux and LVM support on converted virtual machine?

Hello,

 

 

I tried a P2V from an RH4 server using Vmware Converter standalone 4. I did an 'online server' conversion.

 

 

The source server was using LVM for almost all partitions. I notice on the converted virtual machine that no LVM configuration was here. The converter only took the LVM partition and replicated it to normal partiiton on the destination -&gt; NO more LVM on the VM.

 

 

I tried to lookup on the KB or forums, but was not able to find anyone talking about that....

 

 

Is the conversion LVM to LVM supported at this time? or is there another way to do it with the Converter?

 

 

Thanks, Sylvain

 

 

vmware converter helper image not booting

$
0
0

I have done several p2v conversions of Redhat 4 servers to our ESX environment. However, when I did a few this past weekend the process I had been using no longer would work.

 

The process I use is:

 

 

1. Load VMware converter (4.0.1 build 161434) onto the physical linux host and allow remote access.

 

 

2. Using the vmware converter standalone client on my desktop, I connect to converter on the Linux server and set up the conversion.

 

 

3. When configuring the helper image I specify an unused IP address, along with our dns servers and dns suffix. We do not have DHCP servers on our production networks.

 

 

Normally this works fine, the conversion starts, and the helper VM image is created and boots an image that takes care of the copying. However, now the image never boots up and my helper VM is stuck at the PXE boot screen and eventually tells me operating system not found.

 

 

Any ideas?

Can someone from VMware shed some light on this message?  I'm trying to do some basic automation of VM deployments via the VMware Converter to ESXi servers.  Currently running the 4.0.1 Standalone Converter with some very basic machines.

 

command line used:

converter-cli -s e:\p2vxml\dns01.xml

 

where dns01.xml contains:

 

 

All based on the examples in the documentation.  Adding a spectype attribute generates another erro (expected "=")

 

So the situation resumes to two questions :

1.  Is there any way to convince VMware Converter Standalone 4.0 to P2V a Workstation VM at the command line to ESXi and/or

2. What's the best way to automate/script the deployment of a Workstation VM (or a manual copy of an ESX VM) to ESXi?

No LVM in use. When I perform the conversion it fails at 99%. The converter log shows:

 

[2011-02-15 15:20:49.588 07708 info 'App'] [task,373] [task-5] -- ERROR -- Convert: converter.fault.CloneFault
(converter.fault.CloneFault) {
   dynamicType = <unset>,
   faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,
   description = "GrubInstaller::InstallGrub: /usr/lib/vmware-converter/installGrub.sh failed with return code: 127, and message:
/vmware-updateGrub.sh: 38: grub: not found
Error running GRUB
Error running vmware-updateGrub.sh through chroot into /mnt/p2v-src-root
",
   msg = "",
}

 

I cannot start the VM. I followed instructions I found at http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1021306 and http://communities.vmware.com/message/1395202#1395202 with no success.

 

What I have found, based on exploring the system after using the Ubuntu 10.04 ISO to boot from, is that the drive structure has been maintained in the new VM, but there is nothing in /boot. I ran apt-get install grub2  and the legacy udpater command as per one of the above threads, and it created a /boot/grub directory but no grub.cfg. I then ran upgrade-grub and it created grub.cfg but still no joy.

 

The source OS is listed in the compatibility guide so I'm not sure why this isn't working, but I'm hoping someone can help me figure out a way to make this work. I'm so close, and it'd be really great to be able to use this. I appreciate your ideas and suggestions.

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

In trying to do a P2V conversion I am getting a very weird kernel error. I am using the 5.1 standalone converter. The error is:

 

FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: ' * got kernel major revision as ERROR:
kernel version has to be in format 2.6.*, version 2.6.32-358.6.1.el6.x86_64 is not supported (return code 1)'

 

I have searched and found no information on this error. I have added a screenshot, any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

converter V5.1.0 fails at 71%, Warning: Unable to read the block at offset '28,243,914,752' on volume 'D:

Hello:

 

I am converting physical machines to VM sot hat we can consolidate our environment. The converter V5.1.0 Build1087880 fails at 71%, with a Warning:

 

so far, I have good progress on other physical machines except for this stubborn XP -X64 machine. We need to keep it for legacy reasons until there are replacement apps for all sw running on it (; This machine has SSD drive and no spinning HD

 

each time the conversion is able to start and complete the first on two drives. The GUI states its fine , but the log shows

2013-08-11T09:00:00.782-04:00 [02748 warning 'Default'] Disk number 1 has been skipped because of errors while reading partition table

2013-08-11T09:00:00.782-04:00 [02748 warning 'Default'] Disk number 1 has been skipped because of errors while reading dynamic disks header or LDM database is corrupted

 

When it gets to the second drive, I stops as it cant read some sector block.

 

2013-08-11T09:00:00.782-04:00 [02748 warning 'Default'] Disk number 2 has been skipped because of errors while reading partition table

I have run several apps to check and fix the D drive, but none find any issues. the XP-X64 machine has been restated after each test and re run. no issues are found on either drive

 

I have tried to run the converter without  the D drive. It wont let me do so as it states that the D drive Is critical to the conversion and wont proceed without it

 

I have attached GUI screen shots and two logs files

 

Can anyone please help?

Is there is a way to find the root problem or proceed?

if windows cant find an issue with  the D Drive why does the converter?
