Re: A general system error occurred platform-specific error 38

Hi,

 

Looking at the logs, I noticed there is a permission issue (write) on LUN (vsanDataStore).

Make sure you have the administrator permission on vCenter where you are trying to put this converted VM.

 

Regards,

Vijaynb

I don't have full permissions, but enough to complete the P2V.  I was able to start this job once, but it failed and I deleted some of the files on the vSAN datastore that weren't removed properly.  I wonder if there is an issue with me lacking some type of modify rights for files that might still be hiding on that datastore.  My technical contact is out for the next few days, but when he is back I will try again with full admin rights and see if this works.

 

Thanks!

Dears,

 

any one has information about " VMware Converter 6.0 can't configure (Shrink VMDK Size) for Redhat Linux 7.1 Virtual Machine"

Hello

 

I am not sure I understand your question, Converter is not a tool to work with vmdks. You can shrink the volume size when performing volume based cloning. In case of Linux, this should be P2V, V2V is disk based only.

What kind of conversion are you trying?

Hello

 

the log you have provided contains the following line:

2015-04-28T10:10:56.985+08:00 [03500 info 'Default'] [diagnosticManager,495] Adding worker log bundle from temp location "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\vmware-temp\vmware-SYSTEM\worker-source-diagnostics-ztj.zip" to server log bundle at "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs\bundles\server-diag-20150428021045-dwhuxz.zip".

HTH. If not, look in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs" for "vmware-converter-worker-###.log"

192.168.250.145 is the local machine's IP ( "Powered-On Machine"),

my convert setting likes follows,

Source Type : Powered-On Machine / This Local Machine

Location for the Virtual machine : D:\VM_PC


attached log file is my latest Try today.

These are gui logs which are not in use in this case.

If you want to convert your local machine, you can connect to 'local server', run the GUI 'as administrator' and then convert the machine to local location, i.e. d:\xxx. However you *must* not include disk D: in conversion in this case!

Unable to obtain hardware information

I am trying to convert a VM from ESXi Free v5.5 using the Standalone Converter and getting the error: Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine.

 

I have tried running the converter with elevated admin privileges and that didn't work. The strange thing is I have done this before and it worked so I'm not sure what's changed on this ESXi server.

 

I have two VM's. One is Red Hat and the other is Microsoft 2012 Server and both give me the same error. I also tried v5.5 and v6 of the converter.

 

I can connect to the ESXi server with the vSphere client.

 

Thanks.

vmware converter asks for a vcenter server - can this be bypassed?

Hi,

 

I've installed vmware converter 6.0 in my Hyper-V 2012 R2 VM (running Windows Server 2012 R2). I select to convert the powered-on local machine, but I am asked for a vcenter server IP.

 

The problem is, there is just one Hyper-V host in the network and the vcenter server for my vmware environment is hosted elsewhere, in a different network (but same IP addressing). Thus it's not easy to really provide a vcenter ip. Is there not a way to convert the vm but to dump the resultant disk somewhere locally?

 

Thanks

Instead of selecting VMware Infrastructure virtual machine in the combo box, you can select a VMware Workstation image. You can save it to an e. g. external hard drive, which you can then attach in the destination datacenter and import it to vCenter.

Note that you *have* to provide a network share path to the destination external HDD, because the conversion process is performed by an agent running inside the source VM and it needs access to the destination location.

You need to restart the machine with Converter server because vstor2 driver is not working:

ERROR: Vmount library: Error 2 while opening VSTOR2 driver's control device

Power on the VM and convert (as if it is a physical machine).

In the data-to-copy page in the wizard, adjust the volume size.
