VMware Communities: Message List - Converter Standalone

Same thing here, you're not alone...

There is nothing there for me either.

Seems to be some temporary problem. Will try to fix it asap.

It's fixed now.

Hello,

The issue is taken care of now. Please try the download again.

Here are the logs. you requested.

Your problem is:

2015-11-18T19:33:26.151-08:00 [05152 warning 'Default'] Failed to get capacity for \\.\PhysicalDrive0: error opening disk device: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process (32)

2015-11-18T19:33:26.151-08:00 [05152 warning 'Default'] Skipping hard disk '\\.\PhysicalDrive0'

2015-11-18T19:33:26.176-08:00 [05152 warning 'Default'] Warning: no attached disks were detected.

Often this problem is caused by AntiVirus or Protection software, you should disable or uninstall problematic software and try again to convert.

HTH

Can anyone help with my particular issue. I am trying to convert form a running VM to another ESX server in the same vCenter. It looks like it completely copies and then gets to 91% stalled timing out on something. Below is the vmconverter logs

Task: Convert physical machine.

Starting block-level cloning for volume 'C:

Completed cloning volume 'C:'

Creating a snapshot of the source system

I have to add, the original running VM is originally from VirtualBox, but we have it running on the ESX box but using a NFS share to a storage area (Datto - Backup appliance). The VM spins up with no issues, so we ultimately want to get the NFS share converted to another ESX server, but this has to be done live as the client can not be down for more than a few minutes.

If the conversion continues, what the problem is?

If the conversion fails then upload log to check them.

The conversion never continues, it's stalled at 91% with the logs putting out this line once in a while:

It never really fails

Could you upload log bundle or share details of conversion?

Have you tried re sizing the disk when you create the conversion job so it does a file level clone instead of block level clone? This used resolve some problem conversions back in the day.

Yes, we have selected Thin Provision, if that's what you mean.

Nope that is not what I mean. If while setting up the conversion to run you change the size of the c: drive even just a little bit, select the drive and add say 5Gb of space.the converter uses a different methodology to run the conversion and this sometimes clears up some issues.

I just tried that and added an extra 5 GB. It balked at me and said to disable synchronization even though it says it will ne allowed if its NTFS, which it is. I need that turned on to make sure we keep the data up to date when it finishes.

The download shows up but nothing happens when the download button is selected. Tried Chrome and IE.

When I inspect the element, I get utag.view(data) 'utag' is undefined

it's working good for me here. Chrome.

Why not use the tools the image was created with in the first place?

You mean I need to use Acronis bare metal restore with universal restore?

Need longer answer?: Who the heck is so smart to need the latest Converter when he doesn't need the latest Workstation?

It would be nice if the download page for converters would list the versions of software they work with. Now one needs to download and install them to

see that certain versions are in the list and others are not.
