• 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.

  Hello everyone!

  I wanted to reduce my DC scores (of 2 used only TB ~ 150 GB) with the help of the stand-alone converter, but when I select 'source machine' (my off DC), then click on next, I get the error "Unable to get material information for selected machine" (which runs the converter as admin doesn't help).

  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.

  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.

  Just installed Converter 5.0 on 64-bit Windows 7 computer. You want to virtualize the machine using only the C: volume.

  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.

  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.

• "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?

• 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:

  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

• 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

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

• How to get hardware information to download the correct drivers?

  Hello

  I just installed Win7 on a T61. Most of the equipment works with the generic Windows drivers. For the rest, the Lenovo system update tool was very useful. I can nothing but recommend.

  However, Windows Media Player will not play DVD and request to update the graphic card driver display analog copy protection. The graphics card has been identified by windows as standard VGA graphics card. In the "Downloads & drivers" section of your site web, several drivers for several graphic cards/chipsets are available for my family/model/Type of T61 (btw, none for Win 7 but I would like to try Win Vista instead, don't you think that these work too?). I realized to a chip NVidia or Intel PM965 according to the manual of Maintenance of equipment for T61 15.4 "screens, correct?

  But how can I get information on what graphics card or chipset running my video of the Thinkpad?

  Thank you

  Problem solved ;-)

  For anyone else with similar problems: simply enter the brand, family, Type, model information in the "Important information" section and you will be rewarded by a box titled original installation.

• How to get hardware information of java card

  Dear Sir
  How can I find information on hardware like EEPROM, RAM and others of my java card jcop or, if possible using smartcardio?

  Unless your card has specific orders, he supports outside of the GP, then you will need to create an applet to determine these things. There is the JCSystem.getAvailableMemory API, which can tell you how much of each type of memory are left on the card. Them don't come back in a few minutes for you'll need to search the Forum means working with larger maps.

  You really should look at the documentation of the product map of the manufacturer for these details.

  I'm trying to convert physical machine to virtual - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  gamarion,

  Welcome to the VMware Community Forums!

  The newspaper provided does not contain the information we need.  For your next post, please use the function "Export logs" converter (File Menu, or right-click on a task that failed) and attach it to the post office.

  I saw an error which is very generic during the wizard of converter, on networks, and just before you get to step 3.  It was with a couple Dell 1950 / 2950 s.  This occurs when the converter tries to collect information on the virtual drive of Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC).

  If you open disk management, you will see the device listed as Disk0. You must disable the VSF Dell virtual disk device in Device Manager and restart the server to resolve this problem. You can also disable the virtual floppy drive device of in the DRAC setup at boot time.

  Kind regards
