• Error V2V conversion

  I'm doing a V2V conversion between a host 5.5 and a 5.5 temp host. Whenever I convert the machine, he gets to 15% and fails with the message "FAILURE: a general error occurred: TaskInfo indicates an error, but no exception is specified." I tried to review the logs but not really something out of me. I join this thread. If someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated!

  Your mistake is (repeatedly):

  2015 12-31 T 10: 56:54.534 - 06:00 WARNING vmware-converter-worker [21500] [sub Originator@6876 = Default] [, 0] [NFC ERROR] the operation was cancelled - NfcFile_Stream: cancelled Server receive

  The concrete problem could be found in the server logs, but you can try to disable SSL and try to restart the conversion (just a guess).

• What is the difference between a virtual machine cloning and v2v conversion to a virtual machine

  What is the difference between a virtual machine cloning and v2v conversion to a virtual machine

  Cloning process is to duplicate a VM. V2V is deploy vm on vsphere environment to another virtual machine format (example: the workstation, hyper-v).

• What happens to changes made to the file during a p2v/v2v conversion?

  We are eager to do a V2V conversion on a file server that has a data partition on thick disk of provisioned to get slim with HDD resize.  I started an online conversion (vm under tension) and things are going very well, but what happens to files that are modified on the server while this process takes place?  Virtual machine changes source is written to the destination virtual machine towards the end of the conversion process?  Similar to when you migrate to another host/store data?

  I looked through the converter and the importer a few user guides, but I've seen no mention of this.  They were older documents, I found for esx 3.x.

  Someone at - it a document or advice on this?

  Thank you.

  5 converter has the ability to intercept any change during the P2V conversion of post synchronization. There are two types - a regular synchronization and let the live conversion or a final synchronization that complements the P2V.

• V2V conversion with no space on the data store.

  Hi all -

  I need to resize/shrink a disc of comments (disc Win2008r2 800 GB to 300 GB) and I read that there is some reasonable success using a conversion, v2v (with vCenter Standalone Converter), but my concern is that I have only 50 GB free on the host data store.

  I would be able to download and drop the virtual machine folder and files on my local machine and convert from my local to the esxi host?  If not, what other options are there?

  Thanks in advance

  Yes, you can use the VMware Converter to convert the machine virtual VMware Workstation/Player format and save the files on your PC.

  Once this is done, then run the converter again choose VMware Workstation/Player as source and your virtual infrastructure as your destination.

  However, if the new virtual machine is over 50 GB in size, you can have a space problem.  You can, on the last page of the VMware converter during the movement of the virtual dos machine to your vSphere host, make sure that the disc is set to THIN provision...

  Good luck!

• Service_Boot_Start error on v2v conversion

  I'm trying to do a conversion, v2v with autonomous 5.1 Converter on a windows 2008 r2 VM. I do this to reduce the system partition that has been wrongly finely 415 concerts up to 100 service.

  It gets most of the way by and I get an error that says "an error occurred during conversion:" cannot change the startup type of the pilot bitmap to SERVICE_BOOT_START, context = "IncrementalConversion(job-1:0)-[d2 52 11 61 2 b 43 41 85 - 6 d if 90 5 d 6f c7 94 90]" ', error = 0'.

  I looked on the internet and there is nothing I can find on this. Does anyone have ideas, what I can do?

  Thank you very much in advance.

  The driver of the Bitmap is used only when the progressive conversion is used. You want a progressive conversion?

  I recommend you to reinstall the converter, this should fix the problem with the driver.

  The V2V means you convert VM power off, the P2V means that you convert the machine (physical or virtual). If you can do V2V on your server, I advised.

• V2V conversion but attempt hard drives not recognized

  Hi all

  I'm V2V a Windows 2008 R2 server using the latest conversion tool provided by Vmware. But what happens when the wizard gets to the last part where you change prefs available to drive there not hard to select drives. Then of course with no hard disks the conversion does not start. I disable disk one / software v before turning off all services. I also confirmed there is no utility disk installed that could interfere. Any ideas on how I can go beyond the obstacles are greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  As the source system that you choose? When you perform a V2V with engine turned off the virtual machine, you must select 'Vmware infrastructure virtual machine', connect to hosts and select the virtual machine on that host.

• "Impossible to get hardware information for the selected computer." OV V2V conversion error

  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

  The error is:

  As I recall there is a problem with Server2 with clean shutdown. As you say that you did a clean shutdown, try to delete additional files (lock) from the folder of the virtual computer.

  The VDDK tools or download invoke vmware - vdiskmanager.exe with the - R option.

• V2V - conversion of a machine from an Intel based in AMD based

  OK, I have a handful of ESX servers that are all Intel Xeon based. We just got in our new server-Dual AMD Opteron 12 hearts of each.

  Now, my question is will do a V2V of an Intel based ESX Server work when go to an AMD Opteron based ESX Server?

  If you know all the documents on this thanks for posting a link to it. I am running the process now. It is said that I left seven so I thought I would ask because I have a while to go before I can start the converted virtual computer.

  Thank you

  What is perhaps easier is to put the host ESX AMD in your vCenter inventory, as autonomous, then migrate cold.  But, Yes, he should be able, on the destintation host.

• Essentials V2V conversion 4 free ESXi 3.5

  Hello

  I have 2 servers running on vSphere ESXi 4 Essentials more than license.  I need to switch to a free ESXi 3.5 server.  These 2 machines should be saved.  I don't think I can install the converter and v2v just them above the free version, and I know that I have 3 licenses for ESXi 4 but I have more not all 64-bit servers to run on. The guest computers are server 2003 32-bit.

  Is there an easy way to do this?

  Thank you

  Curt

  You shouldn't have any problem doing this with VMware Converter.

• Conversion of a file server to reduce the size of disk - things to consider?

  Hi all

  This weekend I plan to do a conversion, v2v of our file server to reduce one of the discs of 600 GB to 250 GB and also change the disk type of thin thickness.  I expect it to take quite long time so want to make sure I have to work on my first attempt!

  I will warn users that the file server is not available during this period, there is always the danger someone could connect remotely and connect during the conversion process (they have roaming profiles/home folders stored on this server).

  My main concern is that if a user connects and modifies a file, etc. in their home folder during the process, it may fail.

  My boss has proposed to vcentre server and the server I want to convert in one vlan private during the process, so that no one can connect, but I am a little concerned that the servers may need to communicate with controllers of domain/dns during the process?

  Is someone able to provide advice regarding my concerns?  Especially if someone connect/change a file on the server of files during the process.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If you really do a v2v conversion, you must stop the machine before the conversion. So nobody will be able to connect (obviously). You seem to plan a p2v (treats converter powered on virtual machines the same as physical devices). I suggest that you consider making a volume based v2v turned off (if it's a Windows machine because it seems to be)

  If for some reason, this is not possible, can you consider to stop the 'Server' service during the conversion? Thus, all actions will become unavailable.

  Note: You must have a converter agent deployed before that.

• V2V migration

  I have a virtual machine that has quite a large snapshot compared to its size. It would be prudent to conduct a migration v2v converter rather than deleting the snapshot. There are 3 VMDK attached to the virtual machine. The v2v migration will remove snapshots and converter will work for what I want to achieve.

  ESXi 4.1, vCenter 4.1

  Thanks in advance

  John

  Hello

  With a V2V conversion, the original virtual machine be left as what.

  The V2V conversion process creates a new virtual machine with all the original VM, including data data in snapshots.  This is the right approach when you want to consolidate the big shots, which are very difficult to remove.

  Best wishes / Saludos

• Help with a conversion from an ESX 4.0 host ESXi4.1

  Hi all

  I'm new to VMware. I was given a task to virtualize infrastructure. I bought 3 dell 610's with 64 GB of ram and an equallogic SAN 6000. I have all three new hosts and the SAN in collaboration with a few virtual machines running in it as it is. I have the advanced VMware license. I also have VMCenter installed and working.

  What I need help on is the following:

  I have a computer host running ESX 4.0 with a local storage with exchange 2003 and windows 2008 r2 server x 64 running on it. How can I move the two virtual machines to the SAN, and then upgrade to the host ESX to ESXi 4.1?

  Kind regards

  CG

  Hello

  As Scott says, you simply add the host in vCenter Server and connect the ESX to the San.  Then you can migrate your VMS (virtual machines must be turned off) from the existing to the new host.

  If for some reason you cannot connect the host to the SAN, then you can try with vCenter Converter to do a V2V conversion to migrate your virtual machines.

  Finally, there is no way to upgrade from ESX to ESXi, so you need to do a clean install of ESXi on your existing host.

  Best wishes / Saludos

• Virtual machine compatible with VM Ware with VM ware ESXi 6.0 enterprise (not sure version)

  Hello, does anyone know if a company of VM Ware virtual machine (maybe it is version 5, not sure) is compatible with VM ware ESXi 6.0? Can I do a snapshot on the VM Ware company and copy it in VM Ware ESXi 6.0?

  Thank you!

  Will VM probably run on ESXi 6 without modification. There may be a few exceptions where some minor modifications may be required however.

  In any case, you can migrate the virtual machine with VMware Converter making a V2V conversion (2 virtual), export the virtual computer to an OVF on the former host and import it on the new, or - depending on your method of backup and application - use your last backup and restore it on the new host.

• a virtual machine can be created in esxi5.5 in the VM necessary esxi4.0 files?

  That is to say of the hard, .vmx files or do you need to use the vmware converter for example?

  Thank you

  Michael

  Hello Michael,

  If all the virtual computer files are present in the data store, and this data store is also available to 5.5 ESXi host, then you can just click with the right button on the .vmx file and add to the inventory and choose the host ESXi 5.5.

  VMware converter is used to perform a v2v conversion, which is also possible. However, the above step is much easier.
