Hi guys,
Really going a little desperate here.
I have here 1 Server 2003R2 EN edition running SQL 2005 instance (1 database).
Trying to convert to VM running on ESXi 5.5.0 1623387 using 5.5 standalone converter and also the 5,1 converter.
Hardware raid, normal basic disks (C: 60GB / D: 140GB).
stopped the SQL database, ran as local administrator, used SSL and no-SSL during copy (for speed).
Made sure I had LSI logical controller.
The convertion fails at 98% with "error: Cannot open the destination virtual machine for reconfiguration"
After that I can run the task "reconfiguration" seperately and it will tell me it has succeeded on the VM.
But in both cases I only get a black screen with a solid cursor.
Weird thing is, I dont even get the BIOS when I tell ESXi that I would like to see the BIOS after the next reboot. I go straight to black screen with cursor.
I also tried ONLY converting the C: but that resulted in the same issue,
Enclosed are the 2 log files from trying to convert (using 5.5 and 5.1).
I dont really know how to read them since I see a lot of "failed" and "error" remarks.
Appreciate the help.
