Hokay.

I have located the source of ALL my issues. I feel like dying. How embarrasing!

For some reason I had been using HKLM as a substitute for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in all my .reg files. I don't know where I got that idea from, but it DOES NOT WORK!! (although REG LOAD reports a successful import!)

So. Now that I have put the full string into my reg files, the original IDE fix continuum posted above works a treat, with no other vmscsi rubbish required.

Holy hell.. talk about wasting time over something simple!!! I could probably have got this working 3 or 4 days ago if I had realised the issue!

So, I wish to say a massive thankyou to Continuum, and anyone else following this thread who has put up with my ocnfusing nonsensesical posts! Please disgregard everything I have said previously, as it is (now) clearly rubbish!

Hombre - don't expect that we will let you get away with this so easy ;-)

Please give a short summary on how you imported a IDE-box into a IDE-VM ...

No problemo. I am just refining my scripts so they're a little tidier, and I will post a full summary :)
My VM just asked for vmscsi.sys during mini setup and I had to remove the scsi0.present = true to get past it, and restart. I may have to re-add it, just looking at why it asked for it.

Scsi0.present = true means that one of your virtual pci-slots is populated by a VMware-SCSI-controller. This is independant from the question if you really use some SCSI-disks connected to the controller.

So if you do not use scsi-disks - you also do not need that controller.
Be careful - adding or removing this controller also does have unexpected effects on your virtual nics. See my site on vmx > pci-slots if you are interested in the details.

I can tell you what I did... I ran UP2V...
1. Create a new VM, with an IDE drive.
2. Follow the UP2V instructions - ghost peer to peer.
3. Once image has been transferred, run the reconfiguration scripts (no need for the SCSI one).
4. Reboot the guest. Done.

Ok, here is my solution for P2V using Altiris, WindowsPE, and VMware Workstation. Hopefully this helps someone else!

Physical machine
model: IBM 8213-H1M
OS: Windows XP SP2 Corp

Virtual Machine:
VMware Workstation 5.5.2 running on Windows Vista Business host.

Notes:
- The HAL (and the ntoskernel.exe etc) were extracted from a VM built from a genuine XPSP2 cd.

Known issues:
- Mini setup still asks for sbsetup.exe for soundblaster (cancel allows you to continue) - I suspect this is due to my BTS driverpack source files having been removed. Your mileage will vary again. I can probably fix this, but too lazy for now.

See the appendix section for file content and directory listings.

----------------------Part A - Capture IMG from Physical machine-------------------

1) Build physical workstation and apply all windows updates, patches, programs etc required.

2) Sysprep physical workstation and shut down.

3) PXE boot to WinPE and map various network drives

4) Use RDeploy to capture image to a network drive

----------------------Part B - Prepare new VM Workstation--------------------------

5) Create a new VMware workstation using default settings.

----------------------Part C - Deploy Image to Virtual PC, and Prep --------------------------

6) PXE boot vm to WinPE and map various network drives

7) Use RDeploy to restore image captured in step 4 (do not restart).

8) Copy VMware drivers to newly imaged drive:

[code]
FIRM -RECURSE COPY "U:\%#!computer@prod_name%" prod:Drivers\
[/code]

9) Load registry hive and inject keys, copy mass storage drivers to imaged drive

[code]
F:\FIRM -FORCE COPY PROD:Windows\System32\Config\System F:\Temp\%ID%.hiv

REG LOAD HKLM\System_00 F:\Temp\%ID%.hiv
REG IMPORT "U:\%#!computer@prod_name%\MassStorage\fix_ide_01.reg"
REG IMPORT "U:\%#!computer@prod_name%\MassStorage\fix_ide_02.reg"
REG UNLOAD HKLM\System_00

F:\FIRM -FORCE COPY F:\Temp\%ID%.hiv PROD:Windows\System32\Config\System

F:\FIRM -FORCE COPY "U:\%#!computer@prod_name%\MassStorage\*.sys" PROD:Windows\System32\Drivers
[/code]

10) Copy correct HAL to imaged drive

[code]
F:\FIRM -FORCE COPY "U:\%#!computer@prod_name%" prod:Windows\system32
[/code]

11) Prep sysprep.inf copy to imaged drive:

[code]
REM ReplaceTokens .\sysprep\storepatch.inf .\temp\%ID%.inf
F:\FIRM -FORCE COPY F:\temp\%ID%.inf prod:sysprep\sysprep.inf
[/code]

12) Reboot, wait approx 20 mins, then enjoy.

Contents of fix_ide_2.reg - this seems to be required to stop requests for vmscsi.sys during mini setup. This file was created using the differences before and after a VMI was run on an imaged virtual drive.
You can also modify the line [code]scsi0.present = "TRUE"[/code] To FALSE in the VMX file for the VM, however as this is set to TRUE by default, I didn't want to have to do this.

Hi Aaron

cool - very detailed explanation - thank you.

There's one line where I don't know if it is ok:
[-HKLM\System_00\ControlSet001\Enum\ACPI\PNP0303\5&244c37a5&0]

If you read this while you can still edit the post - please correct it - or is this intentional ?

One question on the sysprep-details. I am not very experienced with sysprep so the next point may not apply - I'm not sure ?

What if your P2V-candidate doesn't use Controlset001 but for eample Controlset003 - you can look this up in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select

Does sysprep change this so that it allways uses Controlset001 or do we have to prepare for translating all the reg-patches ?

A last point - do not be afraid to change
scsi0.present to false

This is a VMware default that only makes sense if you really plan to use SCSI-disks. You really do not need a SCSI-controller connected to nothing.

You can also set
sound.present to false if that causes any problems during first virtual boot.
Adding a sound-card to the VM later doesn't change PCI-slots so you can safely do this at any later time.

Thanks again for that detailed howto

Ulli

Hi Ulli

If you are referring to the '-' character at the start of that line, then yes it is intentional - it causes the specified key and all subkeys to be deleted.

I'm not pretending to know what all keys in the file are actually for - as mentioned it was a change made when VMI was run, and I am simply copying what it did.

One question on the sysprep-details. I am not very
experienced with sysprep so the next point may not

Believe it or not I've never uses Sysprep myself either. Most of the details in the inf file are the same as the winnt.sif file for an unnatended xp build, and were simply copied from there. I have read some of the CHM for sysprep, and it doesn't look too complicated. With regard to your question, I'm fairly certain sysprep doesn't have any impact on the controlsets - it certainly doesn't have any entries in the file itself for them. I can't profess to know a lot about what they do either - my basic understanding is that they are used for different hardware profiles? Certainly I thought 001 was always used unless explicitly specified in System Properties. I would imagine that it wouldn't be a problem to do a simple search/replace and generate the reg files for 003 as well as 001?


A last point - do not be afraid to change
scsi0.present to false

This is a VMware default that only makes sense if you
really plan to use SCSI-disks. You really do not need
a SCSI-controller connected to nothing.

You can also set
sound.present to false if that causes any problems
during first virtual boot.
Adding a sound-card to the VM later doesn't change
PCI-slots so you can safely do this at any later
time.

Thanks again for that detailed howto

Thanks, I did have a read of your page on the devices and VMX files. I don't have a problem setting it to false with regard to how it affects the machine. My only problem is that I'm creating many machines regularly, and I'll definitely forget to change the setting for a few, then it'll cost me an hour each time as I have to go back and reimage etc. Easier to just inject a few more keys and files and not have to change the VM from it's defaults :)

BTW you're more than welcom for my post, I couldn't have done it without the help here :)

Aaron - I was wondering about the shortened HKLM instead of the long form.

Oops. You are correct, and that line would be ignored because of the shortened HKLM. Unfortunately I cannot edit my post any longer, but it doesn't seem to make a difference to the VM booting anyway.

hi, i have a question concerning p2v and post it here in the hope somebody responds to it.

Thanks to the articles posted on rtfm to perform a p2v migration, i managed to partially migrate my old system in vmware.

My old system was a dual boot xp/sb2003.

The both os are cloned as provided in the manual.

XP works fine, SBS2003 is protected with syskey.

After the injection of Qui Hong’s FixVM-SCSI the system boots but halts on the syskey password, which I have but can’t type.

The tools for resetting the syskey are linux based and so I can’t provide the Buslogic drivers at startup with the F6 key.

Thank you very much for any help provided

you mean, the system doesn`t react to any keyboard input?
try pressing left-shift twice and see if this makes any difference. i have my VMs loosing keyboard from time to time - for example when installing sles9 - and 2x left-shift fixes the problem.

A new version of the Fixvmscsi plug-in has been released. It's been written by RTFM Education reader, Jeffery Crystal. Jeffery has made some substantial changes and improvements - so many than that I have decided to rename the old plug-in originally written by Qui Hong as the "Classic Version" - and referring to Jeff's as the "New Improved Version". Jeff has added better Dell PERC support, and has made the plug-in more work like a plug-in. It is also compatiable with Sherpya XPE Desktop Support.

I've yet to have time to test Jeffâ's plug-in - as I am up to my neck in writing the new book! But it will be on my to do list when I have more free time.

You can download the new version from the Ultimate-P2V home page

I've got a real problem with P2V'ing a Fedora5 machine to a VMware Server vm and I'm wondering if anyone can help?

My FC5 box is a hybrid I built myself. The vm is on a W2K3 server with VMware server 1.0.4. Nothing special about either machines except FC5 server is not RAID'd but W2K3 box is.

Im using the BartPE disk and everything works fine and the Ghost32 starts copying data (disk-to-disk) from master to slave but it gets 14% of the way through, stops and gives me an "application error 29004" and then something to do with some bad sectors its found and cant continue. I've tried using -FRO option but it still doesn't work - gets a little further but then comes back with same error.

I'm running a scan of the FC5 servers hard disk now using HDD Regenerator but its taking a VERY long time so thought I'd ask you guys to see if there was some other problem. Btw, when I start Ghost from the physical server and the virtual server they both say there's not cdrom support even though i put all the ghost files recommended on the ultimate p2v instructions into the correct directory. Does this have anything to do with my problem do you think?

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm using this method because Platespin PowerConvert doesn't support my versions of Linux and I've already bought 1 license so I'm getting in a bit of a pickle!

Thanks guys.

Bryn
