• P2V sync after conversion post cleaning

  Hello

  I have been quite successful with P2V using converter by following this process.

  (1) perform P2V

  2) switch on VM (with disconnected network), install vmware tools, assign a static IP, remove the software/hardware provider (lack of cards network, management of the raid, raid controller, etc.)

  (3) physical power-off and turn on the virtual network

  My question concerns the use of synchronization. If I P2V one machine and does not final synchronization, what happens to the new virtual machine, if I do all the steps in option #2 above and then synchronize changes later? I'll give you an example of why I ask this. I perform a P2V at 20:00, do all my cleanup I mentioned in #2 and then turns off the virtual machine. The next morning, the owner of the app is available in performs a synchronization of the P2V, physical stops and then turns on VM.

  I guess what I'm asking is, if necessary, sanitation won't work I did the night before being lost, or cause problems with synchronization?

  I usually have the app owner easily available to test the P2V immediately, is not the next morning/afternoon

  Thank you

  Hello

  A conversion synchronization resets all of your changes, you did after you turn on the virtual machine. In fact, it is even more, I'll explain in a moment. However you can do all these steps as a preliminary test to verify that everything works fine.

  Now on why sync-ing back to the virtual machine. Conversion about consist of two parts - cloning and reconfiguration, in this case the cloning copy disk blocks. To make synchronization to work, a driver on the source machine follows the changed blocks so that only they are copied during synchronization. Reconfiguration made tweaks to system files and the registry so that the VM to start in a virtual hardware environment. In doing so, it changes some blocks that could have been changed on the source machine, too. Therefore, after each clone and just before the reconfiguration, the destination VM is instantaneous. She returned to this snapshot right before the cloning of the next synchronization. The stuff you did in step 2) are logically as a kind of reconfiguration, although some are not automatically made by the converter.

  OTOH installation tools and configuration of the IP address are automatically. However, some things are made only on the final synchronization, as stopping services on the source, turn off the source VM part and the customization process, which puts a static IP address. I'm not completely sure, but think that the installation of the tools is also done on final sync only.

• VMware Converter Sync feature

  Hi all

  I would like to know if the synchronization can be started at any time of my choosing... As the work presented once (P2V) because the conversion is complete. can I start sync on my own time.

  Here, I don't want to predict the function of synchronization... because don't know when to schedule synchronization functionality.

  Kind regards

  Ajay

  I don't think that you can do in the workplace. All the options to choose before the start of the task. Once the conversion is completed, converter release all control over the virtual machine where allowing the synchronization will be impossible, you may need to start conversion again.

• CentOS 5.8 P2V error use Converter 5.0

  I am need of P2V our linux machine that we have, I was able to connect and the P2V process was successful.  When I start the virtual machine, I get the following error message:

• P2V between data center

  Hello.

  I have 30 intel physical server in A data center.

  I need to virtualize the 7 new physical server but in Datacenter B.

  I have more or less 3 TB of data. I have a very small WAN between domain controllers (2 Mbps). The distance between domain controllers is 200km.

  What is the best way to P2V them between domain controllers?

  Can I use no vmware tools?

  Thanks in advance.

  Well, choose only one way depends on basically the size of the virtual machines resulting and the time you can afford to stay offline when convertion/move files.

  If you need reduce downtime to a minimum, also consider a tool such as PlateSpin Migrate ( http://www.novell.com/products/migrate/), it features ha like Live transfer or synchronization of server to replicate the servers and keep them in sync if migration takes too long.

  Maybe you can start with a first copy made in offline as Andrea said you and then sync source and destination through 2 Mbit link, once that you moved the replica to the destination datacenter.

  Kind regards

  Luca.

• P2V Gentoo ESXi 4 fails

  Hello

  Two days ago, that I tried to P2V my old gentoo box from the data center to a test server ESXi here at home.

  I did the following steps: downloaded the converter and installed the server on my linux only to text box, opened ports tcp and permitrootlogin on ssh.

  I started the conversion everything works smoothly up to 98% and then I get the following error:

  Error: Impossible to reconfigure the virtual machine target.

  When I try to start the virtual machine, I get this:

  VFS: Cannot open the device root "sda6" or unkown-block (0,0)

  Please add a correct 'root =' boot option. Here are the available partitions:

  0300 4194301 had pilot: ide-cdrom

  Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unale to mount root on unkown-block (0,0)

  Some things to note:

  -the physical server has ide drivers and it's Moose grub.conf:

  title = Gentoo

  1. Partition where the image of the kernel (or operating system)

  root (hd0, 0)

  #kernel /boot/linux-2.6.22-hardened-r8 root = / dev/hda6 init = / bin/bb

  kernel /boot/linux-2.6.22-hardened-r8 root = / dev/hda6

  It has to do with the fact that the custom kernel that I build has no support for scsi devices?

  quick glance:

  I removed the scsi controller

  change the CD-ROM IDE 1:0 drive

  and added the vmdk as IDE0:0

  don't worry about the modified sequence of lines.

• Photos, iCloud and OneDrive sync

  Hi all

  I have a question on how to better organize my photo library.

  For the moment, on my space OneDrive (mapped to a partition on my MacBook SSD), I have a folder called 'Images' containing just about all of my photos and organized by folders.

  Since my tech ecosystem is roughly marked Apple (iPhone, iPad and MacBook), I would use the power and versatility of the Photos and iCloud, so that everything remains in all of my devices and free space memory iPhone sync.

  Here's the question: I want to keep my pictures saved on OneDrive, then put the Photos on my Mac to view photos from this folder and use iCloud to share through my devices.

  -I see the same folder structure on iPhone and iPad a synchronization is complete?

  -More important, if I take a picture with my iPad, it will be placed not only on iCloud but also automatically added pictures on Mac which, in turn, puts it in the folder of photos on my OneDrive?

  -Finally, take pictures of my iDevices will store them in the film. If I move them into folders, photos will be mapped (copied to iCloud) on my other devices constantly (in the folder)?

  I would like to notice I'm not trying to avoid using iCloud premium space - I already have a subscription plan of 50 GB that I don't mind mounted. I just keep having just all my photos on OneDrive.

  Thank you in advance for any comments you may have!

  Paul

  The answer is simply not

  The photo library can not be stored on a basic system to pictures not work will have a referenced library, so you may not have a local library references photos on a disc - the photo library can be on a local drive connected directly to the Mac OS Extended format

  You can synchronize between the Mac and IOS devices using iCloud library that synchronizes the photos and the structure of the album/folder between devices

  When you import pictures you can export them to your OneDrive record and have a copy (not associate Photos somehow) on a disk

  You can not have the same physical pictures in Photos and on one disc - each must have its own copy of the Photo

• How can I have two desktops on iCloud sync at the same time, without having duplicate files?

  Hi all

  I have two computers, a MacBook Pro and iMac. I use the new feature for Sierra macOS, which allows me to continually synchronize my office on iCloud. I welcome the Office on my iMac be synchronized on the cloud. Now, I would have the exact same office on my MacBook Pro. I tried many ways, including by dragging files to iCloud Drive on my desktop, but the synchronization does not work. If I enable syncing on my MacBook Pro, I know that I have duplicate files.

  With this method, I would like to: whenever I have add a file on my desktop iMac computer, it shows up on my MacBook Pro Office without the need for me to keep about iCloud road opening.

  Thanks for reading this.

  If you enable sync on the MacBook Pro, it should not be duplicates.  What makes you think it?

• Is no longer able to sync to iPod album art

  All my album in my library artwork iTunes stopped syncing with my iPod - even the music I bought on the iTunes store. How can I restore it? I've been deleting music from my library to create capabilities but no joy so far.

  According to me, iTunes syncs and stores separately, album artwork to optimize the way iPod displays the album (on the small screen of the iPod) artwork and minimize storage space used by the illustrations of album on the iPod.  There may be data corruption on the storage of the iPod originally this problem; iTunes is syncing, but embedded iPod software is unable to properly access this optimized work data.

  If all the songs on the iPod are stored in your iTunes library, you can do a Restore on iPod using iTunes.  This erases the iPod and it affects the "factory" condition by default.  The restore button is on the settings of the iPod summary screen in iTunes.  If the cause is corruption of data on the iPod, it should be resolved by doing a restore.  After the restoration, access music from the iPod settings screen in iTunes and set it up to Sync music as before.

• I have a music library of about 7.6 GB.  I have an old nano iPod which has a capacity of 8.0 GB. When I try to sync my library on the nano it accepts only about 1.68 GB.  How can I fix?

  I have a library of about 7.8 GB of songs iTunes music.  I have an iPod nano to 8.0 GB.  When I try to sync my music on the iPod the IPod does accept that about 1.68 GB.  I tried to restore and re-synchronization-the same results.

  JEB

  Are all your songs stored locallyin your computer's iTunes library?  iTunes cannot sync the songs that are accessed by streaming from Apple servers ("iCloud").  To check, find a song that does not sync your iPod to your iTunes library.  Do a right click and get information.  On the tab of the file Info window, browse to the location.  This site shows a path of the file to the location the file of that song on your drive, or should I say iCloud?  Expressed the iCloud, download it.

  If this is the General reason why much of the music library will not sync to the iPod, you can select the pieces all affected at the same time, right-click on the selection and download.  Once all the music files are stored locally, they sync to iPod.

  If this is not the cause of your problem, thanks for posting back with all additional details, such as any error message that appears when you attempt to sync.

• iPhone SE sync - memory almost full

  When I sync my SE I see that my phone memory is almost full. Most of the memory is used by Documents and data. What is this and how can I reduce it?

  "Documents & data" so often in large part album art associated with music on your iPhone.

  Another way to measure the use of storage of your iPhone is on the iPhone: settings > general > storage & use iCloud > manage storage (in storage).  Remove some of the elements of y.
