How to migrate Oracle VM with RHEL 5.8 guest OS to Vmware Esx using P2V

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
