vCenter 5.5 - error Grub hot-cloning Ubuntu 12.04

Hi All-

I'm having a pretty hot-cloning time of a Ubuntu 12.04 VM from virtual server to another virtual server.

Two virtual servers are running ESXi 5.0.0 build 623860.  I use VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone Client 5.5 build-1362012.  The virtual machine in question is under Ubuntu 12.04.2.  The virtual machine is using LVM, I read may have an impact.

When you run the converter, I get to 97-99% done, then get the following error:

an error occurred during conversion: grubinstaller::installgrub: /usr/lib/vmware-converter/installgrub.sh failed with return code: 126 and message: chroot: cannot run ' / vmware - updategrub.sh': exec format error

vmware runtime error - updategrub.sh through chroot into/mnt/p2v-src-root

/usr/lib/VMware-Converter/installgrub.sh: line 143: / mnt/p2v-src-root: is a directory

I looked all over trying to find someone who has got this exact error message, but can't.  I tried these steps but were unsuccessful.

http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2052628

If someone has all understand why this error occurs, how to fix, etc, it would be greatly appreciated!

Well... Finally, I've advanced and rebuilt the server vCenter Converter Standalone was running on.  I then did a new install of the converter and revived the task and all is well.  I think it could be a matter of the wrong version *.iso being mounted as the aid of the converter.  I had to keep manually mount the iso on the new VM and start before he would go actually through, and sometimes I could get invited to "converter" identifiers.

I will be chalked up a junk of update/install/accumulated bad on the system of vCenter.

  • Error recovering hot cloning backup - 10 g

    Hello
    I use oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) with linux4
    I'm cloning a database with hot backup

    but I get an error when I run the

    RECOVER THE DATABASE BACKUP USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL.


    See my procedure:

    start of the db
    ALTER database begin backup
    take backup of the file redologs, data files and archiving of newspapers as well, spfile and pfile.
    ALTER database backup controlfile to trace.
    alter database end backup;
    -so far the hot backup is done.



    now, I copied the backup files to the new directory clone db structure. The structure just like any other db directory structure.

    Now, I created a new pfile from the existing database.
    start-up of the new db clone with the new pfile in phase nomount

    Now, I created the new control file.
    the control file is created successfully
    copy the backup control file to the udump directory in the new comic book of clone.

    Now, I want to apply new clone db archives.

    When I start the

    RECOVER THE DATABASE BACKUP USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL.

    I get a message saying that there is an inconsistency in the wire sequence



    Tried both possibilities such as specifying the redo logs and the location of the newspapers archives from the back to the top and the new clone system, but I can't solve it.

    can someone help me what to do

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hot cloning

    This could be linked to that thread. All these steps are linked to hot cloning of EBS R12 12.0.4 under layer of Db RHEL 4. I'm still stuck so could not proceed to the appstier.

    I am in the process of hot cloning here is not real I have taken depending on the circumstances.

    1 - run adpreclone apps and dbtier machine "PROD".
    2. down the two apps and machine dbtier "PROD".
    3 - Copy the apps and files "PROD" machine-to-machine targeted dbtier 'UAT '.
    4 - perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack targetd ganglion 'UAT '.
    5. in the course of adaptation tech_st copied was completely node successfully, while apps_st was in the process and got cut network and targeted.
    6 - could not come down until next weekend. I changed the intent of hot clone while I tech_st copied to the target node 'UAT' successfully of the machine "PROD".
    7-taking machine hot "PROD" via RMAN data base and controlfile backup.
    Contorlfile 8-cree in format control.txt using alter database backup controlfile to trace.
    9 - startup nomount targeted node with the parameter file where I defined db_name in this parameter file "PROD".
    10-restore controlfile from rman to the target node 'UAT' using rman backuppiece which i made in step 7.
    11-mount node targeted 'UAT '.
    12 - restore database.
    13-stop database node 'UAT '.
    Contorolfile 14-deleted that I restored it in step 10.
    15-recree controlfile of control.txt which I created in step 8 by setting.
    Create controlfile set database 'UAT' resetlogs noarchivelog.
    16 startup mount with new controlfile created in step 15, after setting the new controlfile in initUAT.ora.
    17-restore sql database using backup controlfile
    restore database using backup controlfile until Cancel.
    18-open database resetlogs.
    19 - run successfully by sqlplus "/ as sysdba" @aduplib.sql so
    20. at this stage I have failed.
    CD /orahome/PROD/db/tech_st/10.2.0/appsutil/clone/bin
    Perl adcfgclone.pl /orahome/PROD/db/tech_st/10.2.0/appsutil/UAT_uat.xml dbconfig

    Log file for execution at step 20 are

    One thing is that why it's recreate the controlfile when I did step 15, another issue is that "PROD" suite a_txn_ind24.dbf of index file which gives the error in the following log file is in slot/orahome/PROD/db/apps_st directory, it is not as/orahome/PROD/db/apps_st/data, after restoring from backup using rman backuppiece i taken in step 7 and restore this backup to node targeted "UAT" to step 12 restores the file exactly under/orahome/PROD/db/apps_st.

    One thing during step 4, I gave data on 1 and its path/orahome/PROD/db/apps_st/data, it is for this reason or miss me something, please see the following file log of the last stage 20.

  • XP SP2 Start Up disk to remove the error GRUB 22

    Hi all

    HP laptop 6400; Windows XP Pro OS

    After you deleted Ubuntu and expanded my C: drive to top up space, I have the following error of 22 Grub

    1:
    GRUB, loading stage1.5.

    GRUB loading, please wait...

    So I get as much as

    He says that my windows what OS is fine, so I think I need to do something to remove the GRUB boot files, so that when I restart it, it goes straight to the XP operating system?

    Any help please?

    Thank you

    Follow-up.

    Tried what I could.  It descends by using personalization and cloning Script Manager.  Seems like it's a not in the 64-bit version of PowerCLI.  Only way I could make it work is to run the 32-bit.  I hope that VMware is reading, I wish than that to be added to the list "Ahhhh OOPS" for them.

    Thank you all.

  • Error e/s on Ubuntu LTS (LXDE) disk 12.04.1

    I've not seen anywhere else. I have a disk i/o error on my Ubuntu Linux 12.04.1 desktop (LXDE). Skype 4.1 was working fine and all of a sudden it crashed and I had a disk i/o error that referred to my Windows task bar? !! I restarted Skype about 4 times, restarted my PC, rebooted Skype twice again and again, I get this error.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Solved by restarting Skype AGAIN. However, if developers could focus on this issue so that it does not happen again would be great

  • Uninstalled SRM. vCenter management VR error display Service status

    Hello

    I've been trialing SRM and uninstalled.

    I uninstalled SRM and also removed the replication apparatus that I deployed to it.

    There is now an alert in vCenter Service status VR management is impossible to recover data on the health of https://ipaddress:5480/service/HMS/CGI/health.py

    I did some research for the error and found people taking on this error and how to solve if SRM is still present by updating the thumbprint.

    I have followed the steps in this Blog from VMware to locate the entry in the LDAP Server vCenter.

    If I have more SRM installed, can I remove the many "CN = com.vmware.vcHms," all together? Or is it necessary for other things?

    What cleanup steps should I follow to remove all the remains of MRS.?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Please see section vSphere vCenter Server if replication Unregister the device has been deleted in the documentation of VR.

  • vCenter Converter: Installshield Error 1335 data1.cab P2V Wizard

    I'm installing vCenter Converter v4.3 (P2V) on a Windows XP SP3 computer.

    The installation process fails with:

    "Error 1335: Cabinet file data1.cab required for this installation is damaged and cannot be used.".

    This is an error of Installshield Wizard.

    I checked the Md5 of the file installation (VMware converter-all-4.3.0 - 292238.exe) and it is correct.

    I used a copy of the installer on another computer Windows XP SP3, and installed correctly.

    I tried the following unsuccesully, the same error occurs each time:

    1 / /Unregister and then/regserver MSIEXEC

    2 / deleted MSI. DLL, MSIEXEC. DLL, MSIHND. DLL and re-installed the latest Installer Microsoft MSI v4.5.

    3 / delete C:\Program Files\Common InstallShield

    4 / implemented a fix registry CAB file.

    5 / rebooted the PC in a minimum configuration (MSCONFIG to disable all services by default, no provision of the automatic launch at system startup, but)

    6. completely uninstalled antivirus, firewall

    7 / made sure the path of the destination folder is short (ex. C:\VMC)

    Any suggestions please let me know.

    during extraction worked among other files, you should find an MSI - you can doubleclick as MSI

  • Hot cloning - let the physical server running then?

    I have a question for the Vmware Converter. If I understand correctly, you can use hot Clone to clone a physical server while it is running. Of course, that seems very well so you don't get no downtime during conversion.

    But, if the reason for this conversion is to migrate from physical to virtual, what happens if the physical server continues to operate after the conversion? Even just a minute can be enough to have changed the original system, perhaps a database or other stuff, that will make the new virtual instance "incorrect."

    So how does this normally? If you want to virtualize a server that has a system that interacts with users either or other servers, how will stop instantly change?

    OK, even if you are in your downtime window it would be preferable to perform the validation of the server application.

    What we normally do, is check the event logs and do well for sure there no new errors that are produce after the p2v (physical 2 virtual), especially application or system related event.  We will also perform a few reboots of the (virtual) system and sometimes we also had to remove some old drivers.  We have sometimes came across problems with NETWORK cards keeping the old ipconfig when migrating.

    When supply us the new VM give us it a whole new value of intellectual property and test it with the other physical system down.  After correct validation go us ahead and leave the virtual running.  We usually have to master the physical machine in the datacenter for about two weeks and then begin the process of decommissioning.

    One thing most definitely, you want to do is make sure to install vmware tools on the virtual server.  I know it's probably obvious, but many people forget.

    Hope this helps,

  • Installation VCenter on Win2003 - Error Message 28038

    Installation of vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1 on Windows Server 2003.

    After clicking on vCenter Server autostart

    While the Installation runs the installation program displays a 28038 similar to the following error message:

    Setup cannot create vCenter Server Directory Services instance.

    Refer to C:
    Users\SYS-VC~1\...\jointool-0.log for more details. Click Yes to make this operation.

    When you click Yes, a message similar to the following may appear:

    Error 28038. Setup cannot create vCenter Server Directory Services instance.

    Refer to C:
    Users\SYS-VC~1\AppData\Local\Temp\...\jointool-0.log for more details.

    What can I do?

    Seems to be an error in the ADAM installation program.

    Have you checked the error log file?

    PS: If you have Windows 2003 why your profile is in C:\Users? Do you have roaming profiles or folders redirection?

    I have not yet installed a clean version of vCenter Server 4.0U1 on Windows Server 2003, but I upgrade 4.0 to U1 with no problems.

    So just check your journal, your background and your group policies.

  • Need help with RMAN archive destination error during hot backup

    Hello

    Oracle 8.0.6, Win 2000 Server.

    We take the cold daily backup as our backup strategy. We wanted to implement the backup hot. If one day, I turned on the log mode archive and set the directory to archive in F:\drive to store all archived generated. I took the backup and put the database in noarchive log mode. We continued with offline backup.

    After a few days, I wanted to test the hot backup again. I created the directory of the archive in E:\archive\ instead of F:\archive\. When I started the hot backup, all files have been copied except the archives.

    The error was:

    RMAN-03022: compilation command: sql
    RMAN-06162: SQL statement: alter system archive log current
    RMAN-03023: executing command: sql

    RMAN-03022: compilation command: backup
    RMAN-03026: recovery error release of channel resources
    RMAN-08031: output channel: c1
    RMAN-08031: output channel: c2
    RMAN-00569: = error message stack follows =.
    RMAN-03002: failure during the compilation of command
    RMAN-03013: type command: backup
    RMAN-06089: journal archived F:\ARCHIVE\ARCH1_0000327116.ARC not found or at odds with catalog

    Complete recovery manager.

    RMAN is looking for the destination of the journal archive old i.e. 'f:\archive\ '. I don't have the backup of the old archives of destination. I put the new destination to archive E:\archive\ in the initorcl.ora file, rman is always looking for destination F:\archive\.

    Please suggest what to do. How can I remove old information from archive of controlfile and say rman, look in the new archives destination i.e. E:\archive\

    Hello
    WOW 8.0.6.
    Maybe you can run a cross?

    change archivelog than any overlap;

    Update
    Found some docs online for 8.0
    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/A58617_01/server.804/a58396/TOC.htm
    She does not mention the overlap.
    With the change command, you should be able to do the cleaning as well.
    If you have moved the archivelogs to the new location, you can use catalog according to the doc.
    Kind regards
    Tycho
