• Need help to start a partition converted previous physical Machine manually in VMDK

  I had a problem with a HD that was not in a State of health , I was able to make a backup with Acronis Image Home in time. The backup has been partial, the original disc had 4 partition (3 primary and bootable partitions and a logical partition of data only), it was a Boot Manager to boot Windows 7, Windows Vista respectively (2), WindowsXP (3) (1). I made a backup of the W7 partition and the DATA partition.

  I had no need of the old disks of Vista and Windows XP, and that's why I made the partial, not backup to disk backup.

  I want to virtualize the old machine. Using VMware vCenter Converter I could not convert the tib file, it gave error, probably because it was only a partial backup of the first and the last partition.

  So I have chosen to follow a different path, I mounted the TIB file, which has mounted the two partitions as separate discs, then using Backup of EASE, I made a backup of the first partition (Windows 7) and converted to the VMDK image using VDDK 5.1

  Now, I created a 9 VMX (Using VMWARE) Workstation, which asked me to convert the VMDK in version 9.0 (I said NO). I also converts the data partition later.

  . Starting the virtual machine, he started for the Boot Manager, but obviously it does not work, no matter what boot option I chose I get this error:

  Status: 0xc000000e

  Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible.

  If I remember well using VMware converter, the software takes care of the conversion of the machine as well as pilots of controller used when the machine has been installed on the real hardware.

  Now, I need solve this problem and I need advice to do all the steps safe and functional without worries.

  Priming for sure and partition table sector must be updated to reflect a disc with only a partition and must also solve the problem of all the drivers installed in the system that could give a problem.

  I have the installation DVD of Windows 7 has tried to fix the trunk then now, it identifies and the main C: Partition successfully deleted other references of boot partition. The system seem to start but I got a BSOD:

  Status: 0x0000007B
  
  I think that the problem is related to IDE drivers or something, how do I fix this problem?
  
  Relok.

  Sorry - I'm in a hurry and don't have time for lengthy explanations.
  Take a look at my site http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html
  It has a section "patch - easy alternative."
  This applies to win7, 32 and 64 and 2k8r2

  Use a recovery CD if the builtin recovery mode cannot be started.

  Also, make sure that your vmx always have lines
  scsi0. Present = 'TRUE '.

  scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068".

• Convert a physical machine in image

  Hello

  I'm currently looking for a solution where I have a few physical machines to Windows 2003. I need to make an image of the machines on a USB drive and then import the image on a VMWare ESXi server on another physical location later.

  VMWare converter can only convert directly to an ESX (i) server and not to an image.

  Are other solutions that could solve my problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  You can use the stand-alone converter to do.

  1. Select the Source Machine

  2. Select destination Type > VMware Workstation or VMware virtual machine

  3. Select the VMware VMware Workstation 8.0 = product

  4. Select a location for the virtual machine > Browse > YOUR USB DEVICE

  After this procedure, in another physical location, rerun the converter

  1. Select the Machine Source = VMware Workstation or VMware virtual machine

  2 search for a virtual machine image or source > Browse > YOUR USB DEVICE

  3 destination > choice your e.

  Good luck

  To convert Windows 7, you must at least VMware Converter 4.3. However, I would suggest that you use for the last beta 5.0 version http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/beta/public_converter_50?view=overview

• Convert a physical machine but split to 2 databases

  I will migrate a server terminal server for vmware and it has 3 readers a disk C:, D: and E:. I was wondering if anyone knows how to put the C: and D: drive on the data store 1 and the E: running on the data store 2. 1 data store is located on the local computer that esxi is installed on and data store 2 is a NFS share that is located on a NAS. If someone has done or knows how to use vmware converter or any other way made me know thank you.

  Using standalone converter, you can choose to put each volume/drive on another store data during conversion.

  I think that you must choose Advanced on the part of the data in the wizard store.

• Convert a physical machine with attached LUN

  Hi all

  Need to convert a physical server (windows 2003) that has 2 LUNS attached but I'm not shure about the correct procedure to do this.

  I think that the two options I have are:

  1 stop of the database on the phsysical Server service.

  Clon hot server

  Map the phsysical (database) LUNS on my esx servers

  Add LUNS to the server virtualized with RDM

  cold 2 clone the server whose only the operating system disk

  Map the phsysical (database) LUNS on my esx servers

  Add LUNS to the server virtualized with RDM

  This procedure are not? You have no experience on something like that?

  Thanks in advance

  So it seems that my procedures are 'almost' correct, right?.

  Yes

  Your suggestion on the subject of convert SAN disk was my first choice, but do not have enough storage available to it virtualizes.

  Right, this could be a reason.

  Another reason could be the time required for the entire conversion.

• Cannot start the physical machine converted to a virtual machine under ESXi 4.0

  Hi all

  I have 2 has with the material below

  Dell optiplex 755 2.4 Qcore 4 GB of RAM and 160 GB of HARD drive

  A performer with ESXi 4.0 other runs with Windows 2003.

  I tried to convert physical machine with "Vmware Vcenter converter Stand alone" 4.0.1 build 161434

  I used the tool on the source machine and by another machine on the network.

  The two process converts the physical machine to a virtual machine successfully without any errors.

  After conversion, the virtual machine cannot start, and shows only a small slider that is not flashing too.

  

  The physical machine have a single partition of 160 GB

  The space currently used on the physical machine is 26 GB.

  I reduced the size of the HARD drive to virtual computer with fix / light available in 40 GB.

  point to make here is that the ESX have only 160 GB HDD, so he will not be able to copy all 160 GB because of which I am reducing the 40 GB HARD drive

  I converted a few other physical machines with 40 GB HARD drive and they work well after the conversion.

  Any sugessions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Sunil,

  Let me know the drive selected in the custom option controller.

  Thank you

• Cannot convert physical machines to virtual

  I'm trying to convert a physical machine to using 'Converter Standalone Client 4.0' virtual ESXi 4.  When the converter is complete, the operating system would not start.   I tried this on 3 different machines to Windows XP and got a different message each time.

  1st: I got this error message: FAILED: cannot create a snapshot VSS of the source volumes. Error code: 2147754758 (0 x 80042306).

  2nd: I got a black screen with a cursor.  He just sits there and doesn't do anything.

  3rd: error loading operating system.

  I tried the local processing and conversion of distance.  Each of them with the same result.   What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you!

  hinzinho,

  Welcome to the VMware Community Forums.

  Make sure that you use Converter 4.0.1 because you convert to ESXi 4.

  1st: I got this error message: FAILED: cannot create a snapshot VSS of the source volumes. Error code: 2147754758 (0 x 80042306).

  Take a read through this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1320104

  2nd: I got a black screen with a cursor. He just sits there and doesn't do anything.

  If you went to IDE on IDE physical box with the virtual machine.  It is in the release notes:

  http://www.VMware.com/support/converter/doc/releasenotes_conv401.html#97

  3rd: error loading operating system

  It not in fact generated an error message during conversion?  Would you be able to provide logs of converter if she missed.  In the contrary case, we will need to know what has been selected in the wizard and a description of the source system with a screenshot of disk management.

  As side note, send only one issue per thread.  It is best to separate the questions for people seeking answers to their problems and allows you to assign points to those who help on individual issues.

  Kind regards

• Unknown error returned by VMware Converter Agent - Windows 7 RC

I pass all parameters and all correct credentials and start the conversion. After 1%, I get the "unknown error returned from Agent VMware Converter". I enclose my log file.

• Convert True64 Unix physical machine into a Virtual Machine

  Hi all

  I wonder if I can convert the physical machine with True64 Unix virtual machine or not.

  Server version: AlphaServer 4000/5/300 - Tru64 Unix 4.0 D / TruCluster Ver 5.1

  Can anyone suggest me?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

  Don't you can't virtualize the machine to the VMware platform.

  The reason is that the server uses the alpha microprocessor and not a standard intel x 86/intel x 64 compatible.

  You will need to migrate to new hardware or reinstall the server from scratch on a different linux/unix as a platform.

  You may be able to migrate the data. It's usually pretty easy on unix-like platforms, but you'd have to testrun this part of course.

  Hope this helps,

  * Notice of upgrade forum *.
  We will be upgrading systems VMware communities between December 10-12, 2010. During this time, the system will be placed in READ ONLY mode.

• Is it possible to install Vmware converter in a virtual machine?

  Hello

  I would like to know if its possible to install VMware converter in one machine virtual host Xen (WinXP)? We must find a way to convert a Xen virtual machine and import it into an ESX environment. So my first plan was to mount a hard drive of the virtual machine Xen host and install VMware converter.

  Unless there is an easier way to do it.

  Appreciate any feedback...

  Thank you.

  Hi Jakepp,

  You can use VMware Converter to transform your XEN VM for VMware. You can take a look at the following kb to confirm:

  • http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1005298

  Good luck.
