Something is wrong, obviously, but I can't say what exactly... I've requested file-level cloning because all files are copied one-by-one but seems that there is no problem with files but something other... Another wild guess - try to convert not 'this local machine' but running machine 'localhost' with username and password (agent is already running on your machine).

Re: Windows VISTA P2V failing - FAILED: Unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.
Unfortunately but expected that all goes in the same way. Could you send me ZIP of folder and contents of "c:\boot\bcd"? (if you want as pm) This one is corrupted.

I attach BCD export in zip file
I included che CURRENT (2015-04-13) and the one I saved before rebuilding BCD
thanks for your efferts and your time
ADDITIONAL INFO: After BCD rebuild I do not have REPAIR YOUR COMPUTER item in ADVANCED BOOT OPTIONS any longer !

VMware Converter Sync Feature
Hi All,
I would like to know if sync can be started at any point of time of my choice....Like once the Job submitted (P2V) for conversion is completed. can i start sync on my own time.
Here I don't want to schedule the sync feature....because don't know when to schedule the sync feature.
Regards,
Ajay

Re: VMware Converter Sync Feature
I don't think you can do it in the middle of task. All options to be chosen before the task begins. Once the conversion is done, converter release all control over the virtual mahine where enabling sync will not be possible, you may have to start conversion again .

Suresh

Re: Windows VISTA P2V failing - FAILED: Unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.
All seems fine... The last possibility I see is to check and edit security of existing BCD hive, try to add Everyone with full access to your existing BCD (all files) then run the chkdsk (with reboot) for sure. Then do the conversion and finally clean your modifications...

Re: VMware Converter Sync Feature
Hi All,
I used converter to do V2V migration with good success...only point is that the source was running on a snapshot and at the target the snapshot was not see on the target VM and also see the disk/voulme size more than in the source VM...
Will this be a problem of converting a VM which has snapshot running on it?? Please advice.
Regards,
Ajay

Re: VMware Converter Sync Feature
There wont be any issues or data loss because converter does not know virtual disk architecture, it sees only what the operating system. In other term we can say that it consolidated the snapshots logically as it gave the virtual machine in current state at guest level.

Suresh

Always in the same way.

I give up. I'll create my VMFusion machine with Windows from scratch.
Thanks for all your efforts.

Error when converting physical Linux Error Failed to find matching disk device for VMODL Param Disk #0
I'm converting a physical Linux machine and receive the following error
{

Does anyone know how I can resolve this please?

Could you attach the whole log bundle? This snippet is not enough for diagnostic.

Getting "Invalid Fault" error when attempting to perform V2V conversion with Converter Standalone 5.5.3
I am attempting to migrate VMs from an older VMWare environment, using an ESXi 5.5 host (build 1331820), using the vcenter converter standalone utility (version 5.5.3), to a new ESXi 5.5 U2 (build 2068190). The new environment has a vCenter 5.5 server running on it, and the new ESXi 5.5U2 server has been registered with it.
The data store sizes are exactly the same on the old and new ESXi servers, just using separate SANs (the new environment is meant to be a 100% clean restart for this environment).
However, when I attempt to migrate a VM (version 8) from the old environment to the new environment, and convert it to hardware version 10, I get an "Invalid fault" error from the standalone converter.
The only line I can find in the error log before the 'invalid fault' entry is:
2015-04-14T15:36:01.267-07:00 [08268 info 'wizardController'] FillPage()

I'm stumped as to what else I should be looking at, in regards to migrating and convering VMs from my old environment to the new environment.

Re: Getting "Invalid Fault" error when attempting to perform V2V conversion with Converter Standalone 5.5.3
Your VM have any GPT disk ?
Anyway, if this VM are running from a SAN, why not just present the datastore storing this VM, remove the VM from the old host, register on the new host, and migrate the VM using Storage vMotion to the new datastore on the new SAN and then upgrade the VMware Tools and the Hardware Version.

Re: Getting "Invalid Fault" error when attempting to perform V2V conversion with Converter Standalone 5.5.3
I was hoping to have avoided going through all the trouble of setting up the old ESXi environment and doing vMotion, by using the stand alone converter. It's only 8-10 VMs that I'm dealing with.
None of the VMs are GPT partitioned. They are all Windows 2008 R2 server and Windows 7 hosts. I'm suspect as to why this isn't working, since I was able to do the 'exact' same type of migration at another location between an older ESXi server, and a new ESXi 5.5U2 server, without incident.
