Hi,
I'm trying to convert an oracle vm (3.2.7) server to VMware Esx. The guest operating system of this virtual machine is RHEL 5.8. I'm using P2V to do this conversion. When I migrate an oracle virtual machine with RHEL 6.3 as guest operating system, using also P2V, the process ends successfully, but with RHEL 5.8 I'm getting the following error:
"An error occurred during the conversion :'InitrdNativePatcher failed to generate initrd image: /usr/lib/VMware-converter/initrdGenRhel.sh failed with return code: 1
..
..
ERROR: failed running mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-308.el5.img 2.6.18-308.el5 with chroot /mnt/p2v-src-root "
I tried before without success :
- Convert the oracle vm machine from PVm to HVM
- Install also the standard kernel in the machine
Maybe some of you have had this error in the past, and can give me some advice , thanks a lot!!!
Regards,
Paola
