• VMware converter restarts the physical server after conversion!

  Hello

  This can already city, but I can't find any discussion about it. I do some V2Vs using the converter Vmware 4.1.0

  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.  It's a VtoV.  He is a SQL Server. Windows 2003 64-bit.

  I try without shutting down the server at all because it's a production server.  I don't have a Vcenter (to copy to an esxi to an another esxi).

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  For sure in the Converter 4 there is an option for the source stop server after migration.

  Below you will find a screen of VMware converter 5 with the option you are looking for. It is available at the end of the migration Assistant in OPTION --> option advance section

  

  Below the download link for Converter 5

• 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.

• VMware Converter fails on physical client - not enough space

  Hello

  I try to use VMware Converter on a physical client that runs Windows 7 and get this error message:

  Failed: The VSS snapshots cannot be stored because there is not enough space on the source volumes or because the source computer has not all NTFS volumes. Error code:
  2147754783 (0x8004231F).

  When you run DISKPART - VOLUME LIST I can see that the two partitions is formatted with NTFS.

  Anyone have any idea why the process fails?

  Thanks in advance.

• How to configure port forwarding on a dedicated server running CentOS 5.4 to use Ubuntu 9.0.4

  The basic situation that I have is a dedicated server running CentOS 5.4 for the moment I have a virtual machine running Ubuntu 9.0.4. Later, I want to add a virtual computer that is running Windows Server 2003, but right now I focus on the implementation and running Ubuntu.

  The installation of Ubuntu works very well, but I am seriously struggling to get the port forwarding so I can visit the Web sites to be hosted on the Ubuntu VM. As a newbie on Linux, I am confused about the relationship between IPTables and VMWare own port forwarding.

  Here's what I've tried so far.

  My server's IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, provider support told me that the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, gateway address is xxx.xxx.xxx.1 and the network address is xxx.xxx.xxx.0. (These last two surprises me a little, I'd expect to be private rather than public gateway/network address).

  First of all, I tried Bridged Networking, but had no luck contacting the machine other than through the VMware console. I tried it the ping from the host (using ssh in the host), but no joy. also no Inernet access from the VM. I changed the configuration of the DHCP server to static interfaces, using a static address 192.168.1.100 and by assigning to the doors of such xxx.xxx.xxx.1 as advised by the supplier. No real difference, still cannot ping the host prompt, or vice versa and any of the customer's Internet access.

  Then I tried NAT. The host automatically 192.168.132.128 with a 192.168.132.2 gateway IP address now, the client has access to the Internet and when I do a VNC host and open Firefox with 192.168.132.128 I can see the correct hosted Web site but I still can't get in from the outside.

  I mentioned that I am a bit confused about IPtables and VMware port forwarding, what I wanted to say, it is that I'm not sure if IPtable transfer must be set to the IP address of the interface of comments (192.168.132.128 in this case) or the address of the 192.168.132.2 bridge.

  I have the impression that I'm missing something simple here, can someone tell me what it is?

  Find your "/ etc/vmware/vmnet8/nat/nat.conf" file and change:

  Example:

  \[incomingtcp]

  8887 = 192.168.27.128:80

  That would redirect a header of TCP packet entering the port 8887 on the host on port 80 of the guest with the IP 192.168.27.128.

  Ditto for the UPD:

  \[incomingudp]

  6000 = 192.168.27.128:6001

  You can (must) use iptables for firewall purposes but does not redirect traffic at the prompt.

• 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,

• vCentre virtual conversion physical server

  We run vCentre 4.0 server who is physically installed on windows xp and want to virtualize in our vSphere ESX DR environment. The intention is to use the vCentre converter to generate the virtual machine on the server ESX and then use the existing physical vcentre to recognize the virtualized vCenter VM and set its IP address to what was the physical vCentre and then decommission the physical vCentre. During our attempted conversion vCentre VM, we have experienced a blue screen at 95% and conversion failed, note it was after stopping relevant services and the SQL db. This approach is possible, or does it install vCentre on a virtual machine manually and move the database?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I recommend installing a new Virtual Center, then restoring the DB and start working it would be best practice as well. If the converter is defective please check the logs of converter to see why and where it fails.

  Please take a look at the following KB

• 2 guests on 1 physical server (running ESXi 5.5)?

  Hi, first of all... I'm new to VMware, I have 1 server Dell PowerEdge R420 in my new company that is used for virtual machines (running ESXi 5.5)... and I've been through, there 2 hosts running in 2 IP ranges, each host contains a few virtual machines... is it possible to have 2 guests on 1 Physical (ESXi) or am I wrong somewhere ?

  A nice man, it's what I told you about my last post, which should be another host in a remote area.

  Don't worry the confusion and do not forget to assign points for correct or helpful answers.

• VMware Converter error - error Windows 2003 Sp2 to 95%

  I am new to the world of the virtual machine and converted several machines without problem, but I have this error Windows 2003 Sp2 and it is very furstrating.  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1 on the computer itself on a local drive and from another machine on a network share.  Looking through the log, I found the following: "taskSpec, task taken 357 an exception in the meantime on the agent task ends." Collecting newspapers to the officer before reproducing the exception more. "Exception message: converter.agent.internal.fault.PlatformError ', but don't see anything else of interest.  I could really use some help with this one.

  Then, I would try with Converter 3.0.3

  can you put the source machine boot.ini file?

• P2V Windows file server migration (VMware Converter 4)

  We use VMWare ESX 3.5.

  We want to migrate a physical file of MS Windows Server VMWare (ESX 3.5). The physical server has a C: drive of 40 GB and a 300 GB D: drive

  We would like to use VMWare converter, to migrate the server and to develop the drive C: for the virtual server is 80 GB, however we are concerned the 300 GB d: partition since it will take some time, and while the P2V, we might have some users access to stocks (on server co-location) and modifiyng files during migration.  So, if this caught there is a potential risk of losing business data.

  I learned that the VMWare Converter 4 can do a live migration and once completed the P2V it can track changes and then synchronizes them when you turn off the physical system.

  I was wondering if someone knows about this type of functionality on 4 VMConverter and knows how to use it?

  You can resize the disks so that the migration using VMWare converter. It is not only to take care on the disk, it is resized the partition, also.

• Physical server VM disaster recovery

  Hello

  Today, I meet some customers who would ask the site of recovery after a disaster. They would like to use all physical servers to the recovering site.

  Here's the scenario. In the production site, they will have 3 host to ESXi 4.1, with BL460G6 (the Server Blade HP), 2 Proc Intel X 5600 series, 48 GB RAM. Storage use is NetApp with iSCSI (NETAPP FAS2040) options.

  All their (converted from physical) virtual computers will consume about 4.2 TB, for most of the Linux server, multiple windows, according to. The growth of data every day is 1.6 GB. They will invest the same storage (FAS2040) on the site of DRC. Will of replication occurs every 15 minutes. They had a very good bandwidth

  Now they're using the standard replication method, they transfer file to the DRC to their server (Linux, replication, automated with script-based) and until now its works very well.

  Because they will migrate to Virtual Server, after all migration, they all want their server used in the DRC Site. My point is to know how to do it. Pouvez VMware replicated on the physical server? They will not invest more than license VMware or upgrading their equipment. They want to use the server as is.

  I thought to use RDM, create a LUN, attached to the virtual machine with the physical/virtual compatibility, then use the NetApp replication method to replicate the DRC site. Then, in the DRC, all the physical server mapped to the same LUN. Restoration, then, just reverse the replication. But then, the implementation will be difficult, because each server has a specific LUN (it had more 20 + server).

  A guy had an idea?

  Thanks for your help.

  From what I understand so far, they virtualized or not their systems and virtual machine files are stored on NetApp storage synced to the DRS!

  In this case, with the environment of virtualization (VMware Essentials) in place at the DRS, they would have only to add the virtual machine to inventory and them lights disaster on the production side. This doesn't mean no reconfiguration of drivers (for the merger to the physical hardware), up to date systems (synchronizes every 15 min.) and very little time to have the environment running on the DRS.

  The advantage of the Essentials package on the free version is management, which equals the production site and the possibility of use for example, backup software, which usually requires a licensed version.

  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...
