Boot From SAN Multipathing Physical Server Migration

$

Hi,

 

In my current environment we have boot from SAN configuration and we have entire storage coming from remote SAN (Multipath configured). I have tired VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.0 to migrate physical SUSE 11 to Virtual Machine but got error "FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion:'Partition number must be set for the boot volume'" at 97%.

 

While checking logs we found both the Physical Machine cloned successfully and got error while reconfiguring the destination virtual machine. Further digging into problem we have observed /boot volume is not visible at ‘Source Volume’ TAB in vConverter that means vConverter is not reading /boot volume information from the source Physical Machine. While checking at destination virtual machine we found error at console "Operating System not found".


In VMware vCenter Converter Standalone User's Guide if found "Linux volumes mounted by Device Mapper multipath" is not support for Powered On Machine.


Please help me to understand if vCenter Converter Standalone supports boot from SAN environment?
