• Error 0x0000007B blue screen VM boot with 32-bit Windows 2003 using VMware Converter 4.0

  Error 0x0000007B blue screen VM boot with 32-bit Windows 2003 using VMware Converter 4.0

  I want to create a virtual machine using VMWare Converter 4.0 from an Acronis True Image to ESXi Server 3i .tib backup file. The conversation seems to be working, but when I try to start the virtual machine, it begins to start, displays the Windows 2003 splash screen briefly and then fails with a blue screen with the following error:

  STOP: 0X0000007B (0XFFFFFADFD520F3C0, 0XFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0 X 0000000000000000, 0 X 0000000000000000)

  Looking through the forums I've seen this error mentioned with 64-bit Windows 2003, but no mention of 32-bit?

  Any help much appreciated.

  THX

  > Thanks, unfortunately the .tib Acronis True image files do not work with Converter 3.0.3

  You already have a virtual computer that start - it's just bluescreens - so no need to run the full convert again.

  Juist use Converter 3.0.3 to configure the virtual machine - part seemed to have failed

• Anyway to face disconnected VMWare Converter startup disk?

  I have a computer that is dead, and I want to virtualize the computer.   Is it possible to use any version of VMWare Converter steering on a boot device that belongs to a different computer than the one currently loaded?    The boot device in this case was SATA, and we would just climb as boot device as a disc of data on another computer.

  It seems that VMWare Converter has a coded hypothesis hard it can work as an administrator in the OS environment started it virtualizes, but I hope that there is another way to execute to achieve desired virtualization.

  The following procedure will not work if the startup disk has a Windows operating system.

  1 lauch Workstation right-click of the icon and use "run as Administrator".

  2. create the new virtual machine
  3 assign the physical disk instead of the one given by the wizard.
  4. do not start the virtual machine
  5 lauch converter via "run as Administrator"
  6. Select the option "set up the machine" and select the vmx file - you just created with workstation.

  If you do not want to run the virtual machine from the external drive use vmware-vdiskmanager and convert the vmdk you created in step 3 in a normal vmdk.

• VMware Converter Standalone 5.0 U1 - cannot convert W2k3

  Hello

  I tried convert my physical server Windows 2003 R2 (with Service Pack 2) in VMware (to ESXi host) environment, but 98% is DOWN.

  VMware Converter Standalone version is: 5.0 U1

  The version of VMware ESXi Hypervior is: 5.0 U1.

  VMware Converter Standalone U1 5.0 is installed on this server (that I want to convert).

  I have attached one connects VMware Converter Standalone, a screen displaying the boot.ini file and the error.

  Could someone help me with this problem?

  Observer the worker saves any error "could not find". I looked through you and found this:

  Go to System32\Drivers on the source server and determine whether symmpi.sys is in this folder. Otherwise, copy from a known working 2003 VM and copy also in drivers.cab in Windows\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab

  Run the conversion again and choose the no power over the new VM and not turn off the source, in this way, you can check if the process is running. If so, great! If this isn't the case, observe the worker logs yet, find "could not find" or "reconfiguration failed with" to determine the cause of the failure.

  I have a lot of experience with this exact problem and it is almost always something to do with symmpi.sys

  You are using a generic NetBSD kernel?

  so I think that it is similar to the Open and FreeBSD.

  hotclone is the waste of time - it won't work.

  Use Coldclone - or dd the entire disk - write a descriptor for him then and use it as vmdk.

  In the other BSD systems I boot first time in single user mode - as everything else probably does not work.
  Can I fix fstab and etc/rc.conf if necessary

  I'm in a hurry - if you need details for dd-road let me know and I explain a bit...

• VMware converter 4 support for partitions on dynamic disks

  I currently have a server physical windows 2003 which has its system and data partitions defined as dynamic disks (C and D partitions lie on disk 0-dynamic) not well why it's set up this way, it was built just like that.

  The goal is to convert this virtual server and I read many forums stating that dynamic disks are not supported for vmware converter, but some cases have succeeded where the target score was a record time-basic-but-now-dynamics.

  Is this the case? and if so, what alternatives can be tried to virtualize the server.

  Dynamic disks are supported for Windows.  The resulting virtual machine will only basic disks in a hot clone.

  I would just suggest that you make a clone of hot regular and do a slight reduction in the size of the disc resulting (even if it is 1 MB).

  Second, ensure that the system starts out of the c:\ partition and it is marked as a partition active and has a file boot.ini in the root.

  Kind regards

• VMware converter restarts the physical server after cold clone

  Hey

  This can already city, but I can't find any discussion about it. I do a few P2Vs using the bootable disk to Vmware converter 4.1.0 cold clone. We have not all KVM/IP switches, I visit the server room to check the status of the conversion. The problem I have is that once the converter is completed, it randomly restarts the physical server, I converted (does not seem to happen to any of them). Of course, I don't want the physical server switch on again as changes could be made to it. I don't see any option in the converter to tell him not to restart or even stop that would be ok?

  Has anyone encountered this problem and maybe a solution?

  See you soon

  This is a very dirty hack that will do what you want

  Edit the coldclone.iso and delete the file... \I386\bootfix.bin.

  If you delete this file from the CD will not be asked to "press any key to boot from the CD" - instead, it will always start in the CD.

  So this also means you must change the boot sequence for the physical machine BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM.

  Then - even if the CD Coldclone restarts for unknown reasons - it will never restart under the original system, but raise the CD.

• Problems with vmware converter

  Hi all..

  I'm trying to 'virtualize' my current PC with vmware converter...

  My PC has windows xp on the C: partition, but the trunk is on the partition E

  I always got this error

  Failed: Could not find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible

  Here is the log, any help is appreciated...

  Thank you!

  What kind of BONE is the source and partitions machine how much is there?  Partitions that has loaded Windows OS.  I assumed that you have a Windows XP machine with 2 partitions C:\windows and E:\boot so, how does it work if when windows boot?  I don't know on the partition of E:\boot, but if you try the P2V Assistant and only select C:\ drive and it will be fine since its your partition systems and start there, too.  Please specify details.

• VMWare converter on a domain controller that you want to resize partitions?

  Hello

  I read that you are not supposed to use VMWare converter on domain controllers because the domain controller is very sensitive to changes in material ranging from physical to virtual material involved.

  In fact, I have a few DCs 2003 (virtual) Server I want to upgrade to 2008 (also virtual) DCs, but they need more disk space.  I want to use VMWare converter to increase the disk size to allow the extra space taken up by Server 2008, but I wonder if this will not work because the VMWare converter does not like domain controllers.

  Is it still the concern to use VMWare Converter to "convert" essentially a virtual machine to another virtual machine that has more disk space on the partition of the OS?  I'll have to rebuild every fresh as Server Server 2008 domain controller and then transfer the roles via?

  Thank you.

  You don't need to run the converter... stop the 2003 domain controller.  Change the virtual machine to increase the size of the disk.  Fix the VMDK on a different VM like saying 'F drive '.  It boot up... run diskpart and extend drive "F".  Shutdown... Remove the extended DC drive of the virtual machine.  Then put on the DC... here's no wobbly thing done to the domain controller.

  All this should not take more than 3 minutes and no need to enter the command line (ok, other than the 2 lines of diskpart on BACK).

• Where to find image Converter Boot CD

  Anyone know where I can get this? I found an older post that had a URL, but this page is now for the product standalone freebee. I have of deliverance for the Enterprize converter and have the plugin installed, but have never had to make a clone of cold. Thank you in advance,

  Chris

  Sorry Chris,

  I don't know what I was on earlier when I answered it!

  From the manual of the 4 converter - you need to download a previous version (for example, Enterprise 3.x) to get the CD ColdClone

  Prepare for cold cloning

  VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0 can't stand the cold of cloning, you must use an older version

  Converter edition boot CD. Features supported on the boot CD depend on the version of the product you choose.

  VMware Converter 3.0.x Enterprise edition is not a free software product.

  Procedure

  1 to get a bootable CD, go to the download of the VMware Web site and download Converter 3.0.x Enterprise

  installation.

  2 extract the .iso CD boot from the installation package.

  3 burn the .iso of the CD boot to a CD.

  My apologies for misleading you.

  If you go here-> http://www.vmware.com/download/converter/

  Straight down, select VMware vCenter Converter 3.0.3 (Standalone Enterprise Edition) and you can download it from there. Hope it clears everything for you

• VMware Converter 4.0 and 5.0 downloads

  I believe that in order to download the 5.5.3 or 6.0 VMware Converter. I have a 2003 SP1 server to convert, and if I read correctly the documentation, to support the most recent version is 4.0.

  I could install 2003 SP2, which means I could use Converter 5.0, but I'm not either of these versions of converter for download. They were abducted by VMware? If so, suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  To be a little more specific - SP1 is not officially supported, but the code that performs the conversion is the same regardless of the level of MS.
