Cannot P2V a larger then 2TB physical machine

Hi all,

 

I am trying to P2V a physical Linux box, but when I do the proccess using "VMware vCenter Converter" I got an error when software is trying to partitionate destination disk:

 

"FAILED: An error ocurred during the conversion: Volume group 'XXXX' has insufficient free space (xxxx extents): yyyy required."

 

It says that I do not have free space and free extents to use.

 

My scenario basically is:

 

- REAL BOX

Red Hat Server Linux using LVM. The VG group has almost 3.4 TB. The biggest single partition is a data storage partition and has 3.1 TB.

 

- VMWARE

ESXi 5.5.0 with a iSCSI datastore using VMFS5. 5.49TB total space (just 800MB are being used to store some ISO files).

 

When I start P2V proccess, It forces me to choose VM Type 10 because the vmdk file size, so, that's OK. But when it starts to partitioning disk, I got the error wrote above. I have tried to increase destination disk size in Vmware Converter's Options in wizard: it just changed free/required extents values, but I still got the error.

 

So, I suppose that using VM type 10 and 5.5.0 I could work with files greater then 2TB. Anyway, I am in trouble with this error message.

 

Any help??

 

Best regards.
