Attached as .zip. I attached the worker,agent,and the server logs of the most recent attempt. Are there any other logs you need?

Re: how to convert an .img file to VMWARE Fusion?
An img file maybe a complete uncompressed image like you would get with
dd if=/dev/sda of=disk.img
If that assumption is right you can use it without any conversion.
Use vmdk-type monolothicFlat and create a descriptorfile. Then it can be assigned to a Fusion or Workstation VM.
See VMDK-Handbook-Basics

Re: P2V Windows 2000 Server to Esxi host 5.1
Dont have the time at the moment to explain in details ...
but if you dont manage to find a working converter feel free to call me via skype.
I do coldclone imports of Win2k with a Linux LiveCD and can probably help you.

Re: Converting an encrypted LUK in Redhat P2V
Why dont you create vmdks with dd and then do the patching part manually ?
This way you can copy the devices as complete blocks and dont need a tool that can handle the encryption ...

Fail to convert P2V at 3% with error. Host key can't be retrieved
The physical computer which I am trying to convert to a VM:
CentOS 6.6 running FreePBX 10.66-22
Destination ESXi host running: ESXi 5.5.0 6480324.
The middle man computer which running: VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.0.0
All of the 3 computers are on the same network without any firewall restriction.
From the vCenter server managing the ESXi host I can see the VM was created, powered on and booted to the VMware converter helper. However, it stuck at the screen. And it then fail!
From the middle man computer I see the error "A general system error occurred: Network error. Host 1x.2x.x.201 key can't be retrieved."
I already tried the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2.0. But it too ran into the same issue.
The below article advised to use the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 5.1.0. However, this version is no longer available for download.
The more interesting thing is just about 6-7 months ago I was able to convert the same machine onto the same server over the same network!
Could someone please help?

Re: Converting an encrypted LUK in Redhat P2V
Hi
it seems the root volume is mounted twice
<volume mountPoint="/" blockSizeInBytes="4096" capacityInBlocks="178678536" blocksFree="136208949" blocksUsed="42469587" devicePath="/dev/rhel/root" fileSystemType="xfs" isBootVolume="false" label="">
...
<volume mountPoint="/var/lib/docker/overlay" blockSizeInBytes="4096" capacityInBlocks="178678536" blocksFree="136208948" blocksUsed="42469588" devicePath="/dev/rhel/root" fileSystemType="xfs" isBootVolume="false" label="">
From release notes :"Converter cannot query Linux source when a volume is mounted more than once".
Try unmounting /var/lib/docker/overload and retry the conversion.
HTH,

Re: p2v conversion for oracle linux for esxi 6.5 u1 does not boot the VM
this is expected. Oracle Linux is not supported and has no reconfiguration specific code.
You will need to do that manually. Boot the VM with a live CD (preferable the installation one) and from there install GRUB and build the initrd image. Check also fstab file.

Re: Fail to convert P2V at 3% with error. Host key can't be retrieved
There is no block nor allow specified in the host.block or allow.
The same machine was successfully converted a few months ago.

Re: Fail to convert P2V at 3% with error. Host key can't be retrieved
can you share converter log bundle here ?

Re: Fail to convert P2V at 3% with error. Host key can't be retrieved
The issue here is that the converter us the same interface as those configured for the VM.
During the VM conversion setup wizard, if the network interface is not connected to the same network as the remaining components, the transport of the data will not happen.
VMware should have used a different temporary connection to perform the transport of the data from the source to the target VM host.

Re: how to convert an .img file to VMWARE Fusion?
thank you Continuum.
I spoke with LINODE support and they said it should have been the case (complete uncompressed image)
I did try to create a descriptorfile as you suggested, but without luck... VMWare seems non responsive to it.
If I try to mount the .img file Macbook pro complains : "no mountable file system"
The best I've got from VMware Fusion, trying to use the image file to make a new VM were two error message: "No boot filename received" and "Operating System not found"

Re: how to convert an .img file to VMWARE Fusion?
Can you access the img-file from Linux ?
Please provide the output of
sgdisk -p img-file
If that displays a valid partitiontable then please also provide the size of the img-file in bytes so that I can create a descriptorfile for it.

Re: how to convert an .img file to VMWARE Fusion?
thank you continuum!
I did copy the linode.img file over to an Ubuntu 14.05.5 server and run this command: sgdisk -p linode.img
this is the output:

Re: Conversion fails at 98%
This is the first time I've been back here since and I've powered up the VM but it Blue screens with 0x0000007B and keeps looping. How can I fix that?
↧
Re: how to convert an .img file to VMWARE Fusion?
that img-file is not full disk-image and so it is not usable as a flat.vmdk.
It may be possible that the partitiontable is damaged but I doubt that.

Re: how to convert an .img file to VMWARE Fusion?
thank you again for looking into it.
I doubt I would have ever figured out by myself.
I'll look into other options on how to have the same remote setup into a local VM.
Best regards.

Did you run chkdsk /b on source machine?

VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Migration Speed
Hi,
Currently I have a V2V migration from Hyper-V to VMware planned. I have tried and tested using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone, but I am getting very low transfer rate for A hyper V VM of following configuration:
| 1 Virtual CPU |
| Assigned Memory |
| 4 GB |
| Assigned Disk | |
|
I have already tried turning SSL, services and Antivirus off, yet the process does not speed up.
Kindly suggest me some mechanisms using which I can speed up the migration.
