• PC migration - converter could not connect to the remote computer. A general error occurred: unknown internal error

  Hello

  I am brand new to fusion m v so forgive me if I miss useful information of the first post time around.

  I try to use migrate your PC, feature of VM Fusion 8 but I see the error in the title of the topic when I try to start the import operation.

  I have disabled the firewall on the PC and MAC

  I tried over ethernet and direct connections

  When I run the migration of PC Windows tool, he complains that UAC is enabled even if it is not (confirmed via Control Panel and evolution via the command prompt)

  When you try to migrate, it accepts the PIN and then shows a warning on this certificate, that I choose to browse

  He will then ask admin username/pass on the PC (I tried my only regular and also tried setting a new admin user and try this)

  After that, I see the error: the migration of PC - Converter could not connect to the remote computer. A general error occurred: unknown internal error

  Should I keep trying to get this working, or that it will be more easy to find a way less direct to turn the PC to a virtual machine on the Mac?

  I found the logs on mac and have posted what I think is the appropriate one below, but not really sure:

• Storage VMotion - a general error occurred: could not wait for the data.  Error bad0007.

  People,

  I searched through this forum and have not found an answer that works in many positions out there, I say to myself that I would ask him once again.

  Here's the context:

  We have 12 identical Dell M600 blades in 2 chassis with 16 GB of Ram, 2 x Xeon E5430, they are all connected to an Equallogic PS 5000XV iSCSI SAN on a separate iSCSI (vswitch1) with 2 cards network dedicated network and dedicated switch, console svc iscsi dedicated, dedicated VMkernel port for iscsi access. Net access (vswitch0) contains port groups VM for our various networks and a console port and vmkernel svc for VMotion with 2 separate NETWORK cards as well.

  We are running ESX 3.5 U3 and VCenter 2.5 U3 on Win2k3 R2

  VMotion works between all servers, Storage Vmotion works for most machines, HA works and the value 2 host failurs with no monitoring of vm, DRS is set to manual for now I have a few machines on the local stores that I complete my rebuilt LUN, there is no set of rules for DRS and VMware EVC is enabled for guests of the Intel. However, I'll just describe one machine to do svmotion below.

  Here's the problem:

  I'm trying to Svmotion via svmotion.pl - interactive, a Machine to Windows 2000 with a virtual disk and a virtual RDM. I am aware of the requirements for the RDM and required parameters for svmotion, independent is not selected for the RDM, and I also have svmotioned several machines linux and win2k3 with the same configuration without problem. In the interactive session, I choose to individually place the disks and I chose the virtual disk to only the virtual machine to be moved, essentially, as I saw it move vdisk virtual machine and then copy to the pointer of the RDM.

  The use of the processor in this machine is about 25% average. but I try to run migrations at the time the lowest. and The Host it itself shows only about 5.5 GB of the 16 GB of RAM used. so I think we're good on the RAM. the volume/datastore that I'm migrating from has 485 GB free and the volume/datastore I migration towards a 145 GB free. the VM virtual disk is only about 33 GB.

  I run the script the windows version of the RCLI svmotion. and when to begin the process, I get the following error at around 2 percent of the progress:

  "Since the server has encountered an error: a general error occurred: could not wait for the data."  Error bad0007. Invalid parameter. »

  After searching around, I found the following hotfixes to the U2 release notes

  • Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress: Set the value to 1.

  • Migrate.PageInProgress: The value 30, if you get an error even after the setting of the Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress variable.

  I've made these changes, and I still get the same error.

  When I dig in the newspaper, I see these entries in the journal of vmkwarning:

  (Feb 24 00:17:32 vmkernel iq-virt-c2-b6: 82:04:13:56.794 cpu4:1394) WARNING: bunch: 1397: migHeap0 already at its maximumSize bunch. Cannot extend.

  At this point, I'm stuck... What is Windows RCLI? the vcenter Server? or the service console with not enough of RAM? We have already increased all our consoles service 512 MB...

  Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  Thanks in advance.

  The vmkernel on out of memory error, I had that before. And vmware support recommends setting 800M Max service console memory. And I did it and have no problems after that.

  See if that helps the issue.

• A general error occurred. Found dangling error SSL

  I get the following error message when you try to convert a Windows 2003 server with converter 5: a general error occurred. Found dangling error SSL.

• A general error occurred: could not connect with the password of administrator of vim cannot configure VIM account on the host

  Community salvation.

  Story: I was called to look at the configuration of vSphere for a customer. When I started looking, I noticed several problems in the environment of the person who has put in place initially. I've been noting but have done nothing to fix these up to the...

  A question that I've seen is that the server vSphere does not apper communicate properly on ESX 3.5 servers. The error message is similar to a post on this forum ( http://communities.vmware.com/message/1450789?tstart=0) however the same method of solution did not work.

  Currently I have two ESX hosts connected to a console vSphere. The Console displays the disconnected hosts and the error points to the problems with the VPXUSER account. I found

  I searched and found several articles with similar questions, so I chose a course of action

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1007132

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/1168241

  As a note - vSphere client connections toESX welcomes also directly works very well - don't show no problems and everything seems fine.

  So - my first actions were to disconnect and reconnect one of the hosts.  The operation failed with the error "a general error has occurred: unable to connect with the password of administrator of vim cannot configure VIM account on the host. After that, I followed the elimination of the VPXUSER process, restarted the agents and you reconnect the server for vSphere - to the same result. I then deleted the ESX host, removed the VPXUSER, restarted the agents and added that the host ESX back once again - but no change - the same exact error message. I don't see the VPXUSER ID are re-created by this process - so I guess that ESX and vSphere should know the ID and the password.

  Nothing shows up in the var for this - but one of the articles above explains that as a result of the use of the PAM modules.

  Just for fun, I also tried using the ROOT password and reallowing ROOT to connect via SSH - but I got the same failures. I also tried lifting the VPXUSER ID privleges but - same questions.

  If - goes here - any ideas? I can give other details or screen caputres

• A general error occurred; to open the file

  Just added a 3rd esx 3.5 server to the cluster.  Configurations correspond to one extreme I can say.  But when I try to migrate a virtual machine from one of the other two for one third of the error a general system error occurred, unable to open the file appears.  We even tried rebuilding esx server and it time to the cluster but nothing helped.

  I read in some other threads you need to right click on the virtual machines that you cannot migrate and update the virtual machine hardware.  How this is done? As far as I know this ability is in vsphere but not 3.5. Any ideas that might help?  Help, please!

  Thank you

  SB

  If you can, power off the virtual machine and perform the migration or the power off and then turn on the virtual computer and try the migration again. I've seen this several times before, usually after I completed a storage VMotion on the virtual machine in question. Update the virtual machine hardware is possible if the virtual machine is turned off so why you can currently see as an option.

  Update: Assuming that you are unable to restart the virtual machine, make sure that the data store host you ar migration has added data warehouses the same virtual machine host is currently enabled. For example, esx1 a vm1 with a store of data added by FULL domain name, esx2 will be the new home for vm1 and has the same data store has esx1, but the data store has been added by its IP address. Although the two data stores appear to be identical (i.e. going to Configuration - Storage shows them both identical) they are because they were added in different ways. This translates into different UUID, which causes the error experienced. More information on this subject can be found here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004906

• A general error occurred: unknown internal error

  I'm trying to convert the remaining two vm on my server Hyper-V 2012. I am a physical to virtual conversion of a slot machine tension because the converter 5.5 does not support Hyper-V 2012. The virtual machine is the two 2008 R2 server, one is an Exchange Server and the other is a domain controller.

  I have 2 ESXi hosts connected to a vCenter server. I tried to remove the vCenter ESXi host and just conversion using the IP addresses, which did not work. I also tried using the credentials of a local administrator on the server.

  I've already converted two other vm without any problems, so I don't know why I'm running sharply in issues with the latter two.

  Attached are the concerned exported logs. I see where the error occurs, but I can't understand why it's a failure. Other people with similar problems appear to have firewall, DNS, or disk errors. I don't seem to make the same mistakes that I've seen others get.

  OK, I need the log of the agent-converter machine you're trying to convert.

  I see error 3 (the system cannot find the path specified).

  Do a Google search on your error. You will find several suggestions to try as verification of SSH, using IP instead of names of hosts, check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, network, firewall etc.

• vCenter esx 5.5 - consolidate the snapshot fails with an error occurred by consolidating the discs: msg.snapshot.error - NOTFOUND?

  I don't know why is this error?

  I got an error that the virtual disk space was low tool and my vm has been automatically turned off.  I scoured the data store and I saw old clichés that were very important which could be removed.

  I went into the Snapshot Manager and has tried deleting them and started getting the error msg.snapshot.error - NOTFOUND.

  The clichés that I deleted since the Snapshot Manager always appear when I browse the data store, but are locked.

  I really need to be able to consolidate these pictures in the parent company.  100 GB free on the store of data right now.

  If I try to take a new snapshot it fails and says: an error has occurred when taking a snapshot: msg.disklib.OPENPARENT.

  I also noticed after the fact that my hard drive is pointing to the most recent snapshot rather than to the parent.

  I think if I edit the .vmx file and change it so that it points to the parent would be the load, but then I will not lose the clichés?

  I like to keep at least the most recent roll in parent company snapshot.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello!

  Thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately, a part of the problem is that the data store was running out of space.  If I didn't have space or time to try a clone.

  I did a reboot and after that has been able to update the CID to get the right string after I changed the hard drive to point to the base file, power, created a snapshot, turned off and pointed to the hard drive in the last snapshot.

  But there was a corrupt, one in the list since my VM corrupted after all the snapshots consolidated (+ 6 hours later).

  I didn't have a lot of time to continue to troubleshoot or try a clone on another virtual server, we have little space so I started from scratch.

  Fortunately, I discovered that my backups of the data have been very well, I so reinstalled Windows and started from scratch.

  Thanks for the suggestion though!

  Hope this helps someone else because I just watched as he went to work, and I don't know if a clone would have gotten it going or not.
