• blue screen of death with cold clone of the linux server

  We have an old Dell Poweredge 2550 running Red Hat 3 Server and we try to use the CD to boot more later/more cold clone to p2v it.

  It stops on the CD, and then after that it shows a loading progress bar get us a blue screen of death (bsod) with the following error

  STOP c000021a {fatal system error}

  The system process Session Manager initialization done in unexpected ways with the State of 0xc000026c.

  The system has been shut down

  It's hard to detect the controller raid PERC or something? We have since tried to use the stand-alone converter from PC software and point it to the Linux box to see if that process works a bit better, which seems to take too long.  I just want to know what happened in the case where the stand-alone converter process decides to vomit on his shoes.

  Thank you all,

  Brian

  Session manager errors are rare with PE - is the CD ok? -, it starts in a virtual machine?

  have you tried other CD of coldclone?

  This redhat machine has dark material?

• Can I convert a server disk to a virtual machine?

  I have a number of OS X 10.5 servers running on hardware that is incredibly underused.  Since the Fusion 3 supports running OS X Server virtualized, is it possible to convert a live server disk to a virtual machine to the BootCamp to VM? I could run all 5 of my server on a single Xserve systems. I dug around, but everything points to a new facility to achieve this.

  Thank you

  Tim

  Yes, it is possible to convert physical machines to Mac OS X Server VM. I've posted instructions on how to do this in the following thread: Re: Snow Leopard Server VM existing?

  In your case, the only thing that needs to change is the version of the OS - pick instead of 10.6 10.5. I tried this with one of my machines so far, I would be interested to comment on the question of whether instructions to work for you. I'll probably convert this post into a document at some point...

  I also thought the ability to hire only the OS X physical disk partitions without copying the data (like Fusion for Boot Camp). However, Fusion currently only supported the MBR partition tables to access raw partitions, and most Macs are partitioned GPT (or hybrid MBR + TPG). You can try to use Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmware-rawdiskCreator to see if it recognizes the OS X partitions. If so, you should be able to create a virtual disk that references the partitions and boot from it as you would for a machine virtual Boot Camp.

  It is also possible to use a physical disk full (instead of individual partitions), but you would need to have partitions not mounted before using virtual machines that reference the physical disks. If you are interested in, there is a link in this thread as well.

• Fonts in a PDF document can be converted to outlines with Acrobat 9 Pro?

  Acrobat 9 Pro... sometimes I get a PDF file that I have to make some changes in the.  Because I do not have some of the fonts used, I can't change the file without losing the fonts used.  Is there a way to have Acrobat may re-register itself with all fonts converted to outlines if this wont be a problem with the fonts othe errors that I can get?

  Place the pdf file in InDesign...

  Argl! Never what it is a total heresy!

  ==> Using Acrobat Pro:

  -apply a transparent invisible object to all pages to force the flattening (for example to apply a little white square with an opacity of 1% in watermark in a corner).

  -Then go to the flattening of transparency : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7 b87.w.html

• Cold Clone 4.03 converter - is no longer a connectivity - used to work

  I have a Dell Server physical - 1950.  I used 4.03 Converter Enterprise (after adding the Perc driver) cold Clone is several times, even just two weeks ago.  It works without any problem.  Sometimes I clone this box for backup reasons because I'm not yet ready to move to VMware still.

  In any case. Today using the same exact CD start at 4.03 Converter Enterprise I no longer get my DHCP address. The Converter CD says "no network connection available.  It seems that although I do not know how to test it on that physical server using the clone boot CD there is no connectivity.  I also tried to manually set the IP address, but it will not yet communicate.  At least I can not ping the address of another computer.  The converter program displays my Broadcom adapter to network with the exact model number.

  If I boot Windows Server (which uses the same IP address), the server works fine.  If no outside don't switch issues etc.

  NOTHING physical changed in my environment.  The only thing I did was use the Dell Open manage DVD to update server firmware. I was a little bit outdated good, but complete Dell update program fine.  I checked it and the firmware is up-to-date.  Also when I'm trying to clone, I use the boot CD get cold, then any software side server should not be a problem (well, I guess?).

  Thanks for the help.

  Strange question.

  But maybe the driver on the boot CD is too old (related to the barrette microcode).

  Have you tried to use an updated driver?

• Software RAID for Server 2008

  I have a PC that I want to load Server 2008, with two sets of HDD of 250 GB in RAID 1. My motherboard doesn't support RAID 1, can I find a software RAID that will work with Server 2008?

  What I found which seems to have worked. I installed the two 250 GB HARD drive. Then the loading of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, when he asked which will lead to load on, I chose the disk 0. After completing the installation of Windows, I went to disk management. I saw a disk 0 by a system reserved 100 MB, a C: drive with 232,79 GB type base and a GB 1, unallocated, 232,88.

  I have converted the disk 0 to dynamic. Right-click Disk 0, select Convert to dynamic disk.

  Then I have a right on the C: drive and selected click Add Mirror, selected disk 1, ok/next, then it C: mirrored on both drives. He left 100MB on disk 1 unallocated.

• PowerEdge T310 - install second disc as raid1 with dell server administration software?

  Hi all

  Quick question - we have a PowerEdge T310 with a disk in it. We want to install a second drive and put them in raid1. Issues related to the:

  1. Can we use software from dell server administrator to do?
  2. This will delete the volume on the current drive.

  In a perfect scenario, we want to just install the second disk, set up in raid 1 and call it a day.

  Thanks for the tips!

  1. Yes.

  2. function:

  If your drive is existing in a single drive RAID 0, so it CAN be converted on the fly to a 2 drive RAID 1.

  If your existing drive is a volume not RAID, she cannot be converted on the fly without loss of data.

  The SAS 6/iR and series S PERC H200 supported RAID and non RAID, so the chances of a disk being a RAID 0 array is extremely low.

  PERC 6 / i and H700 do not support no RAID, for a single disc can only be a RAID 0, so convert to RAID 1 is fine.

• Need help with the disks 'unreadable' configuring software raid after the death of the startup disk and system restored.

  I'm looking for some advice on how to restore a windows xp installation software raid 5 that was running on my XP system. I had a problem when the startup disk has failed, but I was able to backup the system before it can. I replaced the drive and restored the system and everything came, but I was not smart to do this and accidently left the readers connected when restoring raid. I don't know if windows has done something when I tried to install XP on the new drive, or maybe something else has happened when I restored the system from the backup, but my raid drives can not be used. There was a moment in the restaurant business I saw a message on the MBR, but I thought that was just for the drive being restored. I didn't have a single player who held any information on the other disks in the system, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

  When the system boots the windows logo screen takes 10-20 minutes before you get on the desktop. Windows Disk Manager takes 20-30 minutes to fill the list of drives and status on the disks three raid is 'dynamic' and 'unreadable' is not reassuring. I suspect it's a problem MBR or partition table that must be corrected before trying to reactive the raid, but this is just speculation.

  The raid drives are on a promise ide/scsi disk and make it appear to start correctly with names and sizes. After that I get nothing. I do not have another scsi controller (or), but I thought I'd try active @ partition recovery to see if she can find information on the disks.

  I hope someone has some experience with recovery like this, because this is a first for me. I thought I was pretty sure running a raid-5, but wouldn't you know, the tech gods have found a way to crush my plans...

  Thanks in advance for any help!

• MS Server 2008 R2 on Optiplex 7040 (USB 3.0 ONLY) can make it work, even with all the dism and patch stuff...

  Trying to install Win Server 2008 R2 on an Optiplex witch is so all USB 3.0 by using the legacy startup it will launch the installer and does NOT freeze to the main screen.  But when it comes to screen readers it says it needs a driver, but nothing does not recognize because he needs a driver to recognize the HD and needs a driver to recognize that anything that is connected to the USB 3.0 ports.

  I spent 2 solid days watching and trying different things, including the patcher software dell (who uses powershell).  It works very well.  Broadcasts usb 3.0 drivers in the build of the server, but when I boot it ti freezes at the home page because he removed the pilots using the mouse and keyboard.

  Is there anything else I can try to get this to work?  I use the wrong driver?  I tried the drivers that came with the driver update utility.  I tried the drivers from the website of intel.  Cause the main screen to be locked up with no mouse/keyboard.

  I tried inserting manual usb 3.0 (same result).

  Another way I can get it work?

  I can use 2012 R2 server (who has 3.0 drivers and hard disk drivers and see the HARD disc immediately, but I prefer to use the Server 2008)

  Thank you

  I've found a workaround. (mine)...

  If I install the 2012R2 server, it gives me a platform of USB 3.0.  from 2012, I installed 2008R2, and it worked.

  I had to use 2012 once more in repair/back window because I forgot to shoot all the drivers in 2008.

  I did once I was able to delete windows.old and now I have a fully functional 2008R2 on an Optiplex 7040.

  Of course, has been easier than all this stuff of dism.

• We can convert a VM with 2 snapshots directly

  Hi team

  I have a vm with 2 snapshot server and there are only 20 left GB in storage. My snapshot file size is 200 GB and we do not have enough space to remove the snapshot. I intend to buy 1 TB HARD drive and attach to my laptopp vm converter and install in my laptop, then convert the vsphere VM VM workstation file on my external HARD drive. My question is can you convert a virtual machine with 2 snapshots directly VM workstation, it will create another cliché of ESX server to do the conversion? If a snapshot is created more conversion will fail because we have only 20 GB free space. Please provide a good solution for this

  Concerning

  Cherif

  I hope that everything will work as expected. Good luck.

  BTW there is a snapshot on the virtual machine. Where did you see the other? If there is a difference between graphical snapshot Manager and user interface that you see in the browser to store data (files such as - 00000x.vmdk are instant), always approve the data browser store!

• A virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 Server?

  The subject says it all.  Our main office has created a virtual machine on their ESX 4 server running.  They want us to use the same but we are running ESX 3.5.  We have no time to upgrade our server to 4 again.  We get an error when we try to start by saying this is not not compatible because it was created with a version with more features.

  If a virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 server using converter?

  most important:

  change

  virtualHW.version = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmx file

  then change

  ddb.virtualHWVersion = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmdk file

  the other changes are optional - for example, you need to remove the lines that start with pciBridge and all the lines making reference to... .pciSlotNumber

  also take care of not to use more then 6 PCIdevices in 4 virtual material - i.e. the sum interface cards scsi controllers + network + video cannot be greater then 6

  If you have a time that is very simple and much much much faster then converter - post an example if you want

• Cannot convert win2k server - fails with the boot.ini on the version 3 and 4 error!

  Hello

  I am trying to convert an old win 2000 Server on an esx server, and I'm having a little trouble.  I am trying to run the converter and version 3 already tried with no luck.  On version 3, it manages at the end, think 97% I think and fails.  When I look in the logs of the converter, it seems to resemble a mistake with the boot.ini file.  I left the server for some time and today I have just spotted that the new version of the converter is out and although I'd give it a try.

  Unfortunately, I will have a chance to convert the server again.  It is not the last step.  Ive joined the output of the converter v4 logs.

  Here are the contents of the boot.ini file:

  I would appreciate any advice or tips that I've been struggling with this and I have to get the server took off the old hardware that crack, on which it is running.
