  Hello

  I'm trying to convert Windows 2008 32 bit VM of VServer to ESXi 5.1 s. He always of errors with the message above. I tried to use VmWare Converter 5.1, 5.01 and 4.3.  4.3 using I get another (I get a "a general error has occurred: failure" when I click on the Finish button.)  I got the converter 5.1 work with s 2003 32-bit OS I had.

  Some things I've tried:

  -Changed type VM from 2008 to 2003

  -Powered the machine up, then shut down cleanly

  -Do of course, there is nothing wrong with configuration that could hang up the conversion as the map NETWORK configurations, etc.

  I have really no idea what to do at this point.  I tried all the solutions and workaround that I found through Google and nothing seems to work. Not really sure where to go from here.  Anyone out there have anything that has worked for them?

  Thank you

• Impossible to get hardware information for the selected computer

  Hello world

  I need to convert a .vmx ESXi 5.5 machine. I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 5.1.1.

  I have this error: failed to get the hardware to the computer information selected

  
  

  Before copying the files (VMs), I stopped the VM and I did not include snapshots.

  Thanks for your help!

  Specific error should be found in the converter-worker newspaper, could you upload log-bundle?

  Also, you should make sure that the user running the user interface that has sufficient rights on your VM.

• Convert VM residing on host to another host ESXi ESXi - impossible to get hardware information for the selected VM

  Hey guys,.

  I was wondering if someone came across this yet, but I amtrying to move a virtual machine to one ESXi server to another with converter. The virtual machine is powered OFF and when I select the virtual machine, and then click Next, I get this error "Unable to obtain information on material selected VM." I could always use FastScp but I want to resize the partition of hard drive on the virtual machine before I move it.

  Thank you!

  Hi Jonathan,.

  Can you send me the list of contents in "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs"?  As you have noted that these services are running that they are very likely to produce newspapers in this directory.  Also can you send me the following files as it is possible that logging can be disabled in them:

  "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\converter - server.xml" and "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\converter - agent.xml.

  You can make sure that you connect to the server local converter by going in "Administration > to connect to another server...". "in the main window of the converter.  This is different to connect to the ESX Server.  Just to make sure that the flow is clear, when you go through the wizard, it communicates with the converter server to which you are connected.  The converter server will contact the appropriate converter officer who is responsible for the collection of information from the source and run the conversion.  In this case, the appropriate converter agent is one running on the local computer. This converter agent then connects to the esx server you specified in the wizard to get the necessary information machine.

• Impossible to get hardware information for the selected machine error

  Ok. I tried every version 4 (standalone) converter. XX to 5.0 with the same result. what I want to do is to convert a Win 2 k 8 R2 x 64 VMS residing on one of our ESXi servers.

  all I get is "[07240 error"wizardController"] can not query info source HW: vmodl.fault.SystemError" in the journal mistletoe converter.

  I tried all the stuff I found on the forums (cloning the VM, clean shutdown, change the version of the guest operating system,...) does not. I simply can't converter to work, regardless of the version.

  any ideas?

  Thank you

  Tom

  Is the ds3@vmdk03of your data store name? If Yes, try to remove ' @' data store name, and then the conversion.

  This had already happened with another server (also W2003 DC), but the hardware was completely different; Unfortunately, I wasn't able to solve this year here.

  Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance

  Thank you for all your help

  I finally found the guilty service.

  It was pcmonitor monitor/remote control software. Once I stopped it is service vmware converter could get the capacity of the physical drives.

  It is rather curious because I made several servers P2V conversions using this software (so far the last one two weeks ago - the difference between that server and this one was that the first was not a domain controller).

  Hopefully this thread will help others in the future.

• P2V failed to get the hardware information for the selected computer

  Hi all!

  I am (for the first time) doing a P2V conversion.

  
  The target computer is a remote SBS2008.

  I have installed the local vCenter Converter Client 5.1 on my laptop

  I installed the agent (found in the installation on my laptop directory) on the remote server.

  I opened the ports that I found on the website of vmware in the firewall of remote sites (8089, 139, 445, 9090, 137 and 138)

  When I enter the connection details in the converter I receive the SSL certificate pop-up (so there is an established connection), but when I click on 'ignore' it just presents me: "Unable to obtain material information to the computer selected."

  I've been looking around for some howto or extra info but he had a hard time finding ;-)

  Thank you very much for the comments!

  When you launch VMware Converter, do my right clicking on the program icon and selecting "Run As Administrator".

• Impossible to get hardware information for selected machine (Ubuntu 64 physical)

  Hello

  I need p2v a Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit physical and I get the error 'Unable to obtain information on selected hardware machine' busy.

  I have attached the log files, I also noticed that in the auth.log of the server when you try to make the conversiton, the following lines flow:

  1 dec 11:13:42 seg - dev sshd [9830]: password accepted root of x.xx.xx.xx port 63552 ssh2
  1 dec 11:13:42 seg - dev sshd [9830]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid = 0)

  1 dec 11:14:01 CRON seg - dev [9922]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for the root user

  I don't see any failure to authenticate, and can the machine the converstion server runs on ssh to the machine to convert and open a session as root with question.

  I get the same error if I disable the linux Firewall service running on the machine (ufw).

  All in all this is a pretty simple vanilla LAMP server, but it does not convert. Help, please!

  Hi Billy,

  I think I found the problem - it's in your/import/storage volume. If you look at the log of the sysinfo file it says

  -->

  If you look at the path of unity that's devicePath = "/ dev/cciss/c0d1 '. More late looking disks section in sysinfo exit disk c0d1/dev/cciss/c0d1 who has c0d1/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 partition there. This means that any * disk * is used as a volume, but not only the partition. Unfortunately the converter does not support these configurations. What happens is it trying to fill in the hardwareInfo.storage.volume.diskId for each volume and assumes that each volume is a partition on a disk or an LVM logical volume. As for volume/import/storage , none of them are true (it is a partition or a logical volume) hardwareInfo.storage.volume.diskId is left not defined, and this is the error reported later:

  2011-12 - 02T 10: 35:20.989 - 05:00 [198536 error 'Default'] not initialized: converter.info.ComputerHardwareInfo hardwareInfo.storage.volume.diskId

  I can think about is to run the conversion again and try to deselect the/import/storage volume, convert the operating system, and after (if) the conversion is successful, you can start the target, manually re-create the volume/import/storage , and then copy the data from the source.

  Hope this helps,

  Ivan

  It looks like an accident of service. Can you check if this is the case? (for example in Event Viewer). If so, I would say that you assign the level of detail record (see VMware KB: increase the logging levels to verbose for vCenter Converter application components) and fix the new log again for further investigations.

  The P: volume seems to be encrypted ("is the name of the \Device\TrueCryptVolumeP device"). Maybe there is something specific in what has cause the service down?

  Alternatively, you can try bring this volume offline drive (if possible), and then try to restart conversion. But even if this work around is successful, I would still ask the detailed log to investigate the accident.

• Get Unknownhost exception for the local computer's IP

  I'm new to the network API in Java and get a weird error. I do the following with UDP sockets:

  Your e/s is asymmetric. You are using DataOutputStream.writeChars () to write the data, so you must use DataInputStream.readChar () to read each individual character back and build your channel out of these characters.

• How to make a good UI for the selection of the channels with DAQmx

  A lot of my Labview programming accompanied verisons them previous LabVIEW (pre Labview 7), and there are a ton of new features I am digesting (currently using Labview 8.2).

  My question is (in general), how people schedule their user interface for the selection of channels and others when using hardware DAQmx?  What I have in mind is a system compacDAQ with a number of modules.  The user would be able to choose which channels to watch.  With the help of MAX as part of this process seems counter intuative and somewhat static (yes I know you can change out there, but it feels more like something you would use for something that doesn't really change much).  I wish that all the UI within the VI.

  Programmers use the task of creating screw for this or something else?

  Thanks in advance.

  ChuckNRC,

  I tend to avoid using MAX and create all my channels/tasks using the DAQmx functions.  There are also having some DAQmx features that allow you to save/remove channels, tasks and scales to MAX.

• When I defragment I get message "suspended for the shadow copy of volume.

  Original title: Defrag problem

  When I defragment I get message 'suspended for the shadow copy of volume' whatever that means?

  The VSS Service should not be run unless you do some kind of a backup that uses it.

  Are you using any kind of third-party backup software that would force the VSS Service to run all the time?

  If defrag used to work, what do you think might have changed since the last time it worked correctly?

  I have my VSS Service set to "Manual" - in this way, it not start with XP on a restart and run all day to do nothing, but he will start by itself when I do a backup and stop when the backup is complete (it runs when you need).

  You check the VSS Service, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  services.msc

  Click OK to open the Services applet and find the Volume Shadow Copy Service.

  Select the status and Startup Type columns.

  If you do not have a backup at this time there, the Status column must be empty (not started) and the Startup Type should be set to manual.

  If this is not the case, let a right-click on the VSS Service, properties, Stop (to stop it), change the Startup Type to manual and OK your way out (ensure that it is reactivated by itself).  If it starts up again without a valid reason, you need to understand why and fix it.  Restart to make sure the changes 'stick '.

  See if your defragmentation works when the VSS Service does not work...

• PCL Code for the selection of the status bar

  We have a Unix-based program that relies on EZ for the selection of the printer spooler. Printing was allowed until we replaced the old printer with a HP 3005dn. We must make letterhead in tray 3. EZ print spooler requires to print PCL codes. I ran the code numbers range to print from the 3rd drawer.

  My problem is when it receives the print job, you have to hit the OK button twice so he can shoot from the 3rd drawer.

  By changing the PCL code, I can get him out tray 2 automatically, or stops for tray 3.

  I have modifed the installation of manual feeding system and or use requested tray do not help both.

  Here's the line of code in order

  PCLx_lowreceipt_ac_begin_ ^ [& l0o66f4H ^ [& s1C ^ [(s4099t0p12H_]]

  4 H is supposed to designate the selection of the status bar. I spent several hours from 1: 00 until 8: 00 successfully and to have the work automatically pull from tray 3.

  any ideas?

  Solution

  You need to access from the UI and not the control panel

  -IP in the laserprinter

  -Tab settings select

  -Set the camera (left side)

  -Develop "Configure Device" in the center of the page

  -Develop "Impression".

  -Develop 'PCL '.

  -at the bottom, "Mapping of media sources"... assign the Standard classic.

  Worked!
