Hi all,
Thanks for the help in advance!
I am attempting to do a P2V to a disk locally attached to the source computer, at the end it failed, and the error message was not too helpful:
"A general system error occurred: unknown internal error"
I'm not sure if it matters, but the vm image is to be saved to an SATA harddisk connected via a USB port (I have some gadgets to achieve this)
I am attaching the log files at C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs
I can provide more info if I have been too brief on the matter.
The job is as follows:
