VMWare converter - Windows NT
Hello
Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but I need to create an image of VM to a Windows NT computer. I was hoping to use the Converter Standalone package, until I realized that it was not compatible with NT. Then I read that an older version (3.0.2) of the converter work with NT, but was crushed to learn that he was no longer available for download. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thank you
Glen

Yes, there are always options. The manifest is for VMware converter - 3.0.3 - 89816.exe is no longer available for download on VMware, however, it can be downloaded from elsewhere. Don't say that I recommend that, however, it is an option and if you choose that route then ensure that the SHA1 checksum: 29ed0cc664df0a7caba542ad1d3e18eb3aed4e96
Another option might be to use imaging software to create an image of the pHDD to a vHDD in a virtual machine and then see if the converter can handle the VM image to start correctly and install VMware Tools.
Then the other option is similar to the second option that after imaging P2V start the virtual machine with the appropriate ISO Image and manually inject the necessary Mass Storage Controller and keyboard driver and settings in the Windows registry to enable the virtual machine to start and then install VMware Tools.

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.

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 refused while trying to convert the Linux server
Hey all, I'm trying to convert a Server CentOS 6.6 Nagios in a virtual machine on a cluster of ESXi 5.5.0 and not having a chance. When I try to start the conversion I get following error message:
[Code] Permission to perform this operation was denied [/ code]
I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone server Version 5.5.3 Build-2183569 and I am doing the server Linux my VMware vCenter Server, Version 5.5.0 Build 2001466. I thought I could use the wrong password but I can't able to root very well on the Linux server. Iptables is off and Selinux is disabled. I played with the free version of ESXi and now I'm under more Essentials. I Googled it and found a lot of answers, but none of them fit my situation. Here, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

If you run the client VMware Converter from a Windows OS, try running with the help of the high privilege (Run As Administrator): http://www.jonathanmedd.net/2013/12/vmware-converter-permission-to-perform-this-operation-was-denied.html

vCenter Converter Windows 2003 Server ESXi VM keeps failing

Also, here is the log file
Help out me?
I had done. It seems that if you have any software running on a computer backup, it is best to remove or disable. I also cleaned the registry with ccleaner. After all this, the converter has exported the disc in a VM ESXi without problem.

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

Anyone have any idea why the process fails?

Cannot convert windows 2008 R2
I can't convert windows 2008 R2 by the local administrator
"The source computer has the efi firmware. conversion of computers of life with the efi firmware is not supported' help me please
Try this: http://libertysys.com.au/blog/p2v-of-windows-server-2008-from-efi-gpt-to-vmware-mbr
There is no direct solution but if you encounter a this would be great.
alterative:
the converter can convert the following text
- Acronis True Image Echo 9.1, 9.5 and Acronis True Image 10.0, 11.0 (product Home)
- Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery (formerly LiveState Recovery) 6.5, 7.0, 8.0 and 8.5, LiveState Recovery 3.0 and 6.0 (only the .sv2i files)
- Norton Ghost version 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0 and 14.0 (only the .sv2i files)
- Parallels Desktop 2.5, 3.0, and 4.0
- StorageCraft ShadowProtect 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2
So if you can use one of these, you can do a p2v indirectly.

VMware Converter Standalone 5.0 U1 - cannot convert W2k3

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

Receive error message when converting 5.1 VSphere virtual machine using VMWare Converter
I am moving some Virtual Machines out of my server for VSphere, using VMWare Converter. When I select the source of success and the machine then I get a "failed to get hardware information for the selected computer". I tried two different machines. One is a Windows 7 and the other is a Windows Server 2003. The end of the game is to move them to a server with only VMWare Workstation.
The research I've seen some users corrected it by changing the OS of the VM, but that did not help me. I have attached the diagnostic logs. Any help is appreciated.
You must use the latest version of Converter 5.0.1 - 5.0 does not work
