Citrix XenCenter v6.5 (64-bit)

Full Error:

Log Highlights:

 

Error: Unable to clone the volume mounted on '/' from '<ip address>'

 

I've been having issues with getting this Linux xencenter vm to convert over to VMware, and I've been able to fix a few issues, but now I'm not 100% certain what is next...

 

The error above occurred at 17%, but had also occurred at 11% initially. Disabling SSL got the conversion past 11%.

 

What could be the next issue?

Is there an option in "vcenter converter standalone" to avoid sysprep ?
As it is a domain controller, i don't want to generate a new SID.


Thank's.

P2V Open Suse Leap 42.1

Hi,

 

is it possible to convert a not official supported Linux distribution, or just the few mentioned in the manual (CentOS, RedHat, SLES, Ubuntu)?

In my case I really  need to convert a Open Suse Leap 42.1.

I wonder if there is any possibility to, because I read Leap is based on SLES.

Thanks,

Janine

Hi

 

It is possible in general. Converter recognizes some distro names, like Open Suse (also Debian, Fedora, Oracle, and Asianux) and does the reconfiguration that is close to theirs (e.g. SLES for Open Suse, Ubuntu for Debian, RHEL for the others). There are good chances it works but it has not been tested. Give it a try.

Okay..then..did somebody try to convert a non supported linux and if yes- what happened?

At the Moment I can't query the live linux source machine.

Thanks,

What happens depends on the specific Linux distro and version. Sometimes it just works, sometimes there is nothing to do, sometimes some workaround can be found.

Attach the worker's log from the attempt to query the source; I can have a look and may suggest something.

Hmm... That's strange because we've already converted some Linux servers off of Xen and into VMware without issue.

Based on that link, I should be looking to change to a different kernel in order to get the system moved. However, I appear to only have one kernel on this. I've been trying to track down how to add in another kernel in order to proceed.

 

Any thoughts? I may be missing something here.

Thanks. Tried that too and failed. I ultimately got it working in a very roundabout way by installing Virtual Box, then used VBoxManage command line to convert vhd to vmdk. Then I created a new VM in workstation pointing to that vmdk and allowing it up upgrade to the current version. The mouse didn't work until I uninstalled Virtual PC Integration in the host.

Hello

 

It is the paravirtual Linux kernels on Xen that are not supported, hardware virtualized  can be converted. Besides the issue with paravirtual is during reconfiguration, while this is something occurring during cloning. It is actually 'tar' that terminates with an error (not converter code per se) which makes it harder to diagnose why. I'd suggest as a beginning to check the source machine's file systems for corruption.

Re: Hanging on "Verifying Task parameters"

I found using resource monitor that the vmware-converter-a.exe process is busy reading each disk.  It creates a folder in the same directory as the virtual disk with a .lck extension like this "virtualdiskname.vhd.lck"  Once it's done, it cleans up after itself.  My problem is with large disks.  It seems to handle smaller vhd files fine, but once it hits a disk 500GB+, it ultimately fails.  I'm looking for some kind of timeout value in the converter configuration XML files.  

 

The GUI will sit at "verifying task parameters" for roughly 30 minutes, and then fail with an "Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine" error.

 

Anyone know if/where that timeout value might be?

  I tested exactly that same physical server and:

 

a) without synchronization converting time is around 27 minutes

b) with synchronization ( Run immediately after cloning) i take 60 minute and 6 minute for next job with synchronizastion.

 

If this is normal ?

I just installed a new Vmware ESXI 6.5 and using OVFTool to deploy an OVF created using ESXI 5.5 (VM Hardware version 8)

 

I used the following command

 

ovftool --acceptAllEulas --X:logFile=c:\temp\errorvm.log --X:logLevel=verbose -ds="datastore1" -n="VTESTHOST2" --diskMode=thick F:\VMWareBackup\Vserver1.ovf vi://root:password@10.1.2.222

 

I get an error Transfer Failed

 

Here is part of the log. Take note that this command will work on an ESXI 5.5 server. Thanks for any ideas

Good morning,  I installed a new vmware Esxi 6.5 (Build 4887370) with no vcenter.  First time use, I tried to deploy an OVF using the vsphere web client (IE Browser).  After a few minute wait, I encountered an error

 

Failed to deploy VM: postNFCData failed ,

 

The two task failed.

Install Vapp

 

I know that my OVF works as it works on Esxi 5.5 using thick client.  Is there something that I failed to install?

 

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

Minimize downtime during P2V conversion

All,

 

In a test environment, I am using vCenter Converter Standalone v6.0 to generate a procedure to convert Windows 2003 Servers to VMs.  My goal is to minimize my customer’s downtime.

 

The User Guide list an option of “Stop Services Running on the Source Machine” before Converter Standalone synchronizes the data between the source and destination machine. While the services on the Source are synchronized with the Destination, this is an outage or downtime.  Is there a way I can find exact time synchronization started and ended? I am trying to estimate or measure this downtime. This will allow me to tell the customer “When we converted Windows 2003 Server XYZ in the lab, it was offline ABC minutes.”

Having an odd problem, I have use the converter software before with no issues until now. Recently purchased a new PC with Windows 10 Home edition, ( Version 1703, Build 15063.540). Installed VMware-converter-en-6.1.1-3533064 with no issues, however when I try to launch it, I get the following error:

 

Config File Error:  Not Well-Formed (invalid token) (line 4)

 

I've tried installing and launching the software as well in Compatibility Mode for Windows 8, also same issue.

 

Does anyone have an insight on this?
