I'm trying to convert a physical Linux server to a virtual ESXi server. I am using VMWare converter to convert the machine and VMWare workstation to run the virtual ESXi server on. Both software are the lastest versions.
When running the conversion software I get no warnings or errors when running the set up, the conversion gets all the way to 97% and errors.
The error message I get is
FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'GrubInstaller::InstallGrub: /usr/lib/vmware-converter/installGrub.sh failed with return code: 1, and message: Installing GRUB2 on (hd0)... /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible.

I also have the diagnotics report as well.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
