I have the same error symptom as you.
Issues: pauses at 5% for a while then jumps to 97% and then fails.
Hot P2V. objective server: Win2K SP4, with converter on my PC;
Some error logs are as follows.
[2007-04-11 18:12:32.899 'P2V' 4784 error] [task,295] Task failed: P2VError UNKNOWN_METHOD_FAULT(sysimage.fault.CloneFault)

I solve by install converter (version 39557) on my VC, restart my Win2K server and then it goes all fine.

I maneged to correct this error on a w2kserver.
I had a servicepartition on an old IBM-server.
Raid 5 on an basic disk and raid 1 on an dynamic disk.
Edit boot.ini and point out the new bootpartition like this.
(old partitionstart was 2)

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS (changed 2 to 1)
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2000
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2000 (new)

Leave the old startpartition in the ini-file so you can choose "the right one" when you start up the new virtual server.
Delete the servicepartition before converting and good luck.

That worked for me. My Dell server had a 30MB utility partition. To delete it, I first installed the Windows Recovery Console on the server, then booted to it and used Diskpart to delete it. Prior to doing that, I modified the Boot.ini as described above.

Has anyone had problems doing a cold clone using the latest converter software (3.0.1 build 44840) We are doing some timing tests against a W2K3 server and are getting consistent failures with the message :

sysimage.fault.ReconfigFault

What sort of things should we be checking under the cold clone option as obviously nothing is running apart from the VMWare boot CD ?

I've enclosed the final lines from the converter log below...

Re: my post above. I've checked the logs further and found we are suffering from the following known issue :

Cloning fails with "Can't create undo folder" error
Cloning of some hosts, especially if they have diagnostic partitions, can fail during post-processing with "can't create undo folder" error messages at the end of the log. This occurs because boot.ini is not adjusted correctly in the destination virtual machine. You can identify this issue by looking for these lines in the logs:
[#2] [2006-12-08 22:43:40.468 'App' 368 warning] [volumeMappingInfoBuilder,685] Adjusting boot.ini: Didn't find volume 2 on the disk 0
[#2] [2006-12-08 22:43:40.468 'App' 368 warning] [volumeMappingInfoBuilder,685] Adjusting boot.ini: Didn't find volume 2 on the disk 0
If the virtual machine from the failed import is left behind on the destination, advanced users can work around this by:

1. Attaching the system disk to another virtual machine

2. Adjusting boot.ini manually to point to the correct partition

3. Running the Configure Virtual Machine wizard on the virtual machine

This is supposedly fixed in the latest release but we are running that and still get the same issue. We are raising a ticket against VMWare about this.

Other than the above suggestion, does anyone have any other fixes for this error ?

Thanks

I was failing at 97% until I ran chkdsk /f on 4 of my source machines that failed.

All were successful in converting.

Thanks for that - we will try anything at this stage !

VMWare are sort of recognising the fact that they may not have fixed the previous known issue too.

Just installed the new version of VMWare Converter to v3.0.1 but I'm still getting the "Task failed: P2VError UNKNOWN_METHOD_FAULT(sysimage.fault.ReconfigFault)" error. And that was with cleaning up the registry of the source machine and installing the v3.0.1 VMWare client locally to that same box.

Argh!

Hi,

we ran our 'real' conversion this weekend using VMWare Converter 3.0 Build 44840

We successfully converted 9 systems (W2K3 and W2K) using the warm clone approach and selecting the options to build the disks at 'Minimum' size. Any databases were shutdown.

We gave up on the cold clone option due to lack of drivers, recognising RAID etc...

Everything worked fine and converted at a rate of approx. 15Gb/hr.

The only problems encountered were around remnants of earlier installed converter agents still being on the servers. These were removed and all went ok.

Must admit, after logging a call the response from VMWare was very prompt.

If you have any specific issues, please drop me a line and I'll see if I can help.

Till now all went smooooth with converter 3, but since yesterday I got the same problems.
I'm trying to set up a test terminalserver by converting a production server (not in the farm) to a virtual machine.
And after 97% bingo - same error. Cleaning registry doesn't do the trick :-((

I'm using the latest Converter (3.0.1 build 44840). W2K3 servers convert without a hitch here but when you try W2K (Professional), it's super happy fun time with "The 97%". The vmdk is allocated on the destination and cloning goes through without a problem, but when it gets to preparing the VM..

There's only one partition here, and it's not dynamic or RAIDed + the boot.ini is valid - there shouldn't really be a problem here. Converter has no trouble determining the OS version when I'm walking through the wizard and setting up the conversion. Agent has no trouble determining the OS version before starting the vmdk allocation and cloning:

In my case I solved the issue on my server. It was a drive configuration, the machine wouldn't boot after the 97% failure. I had a software mirror setup on the server, I broke the mirror, deleted the mirror drive and re ran the p2v. 100% success

I am having this problem on a weird laptop. It runs Windows XP SP2, but it is a Macintosh laptop running bootcamp, so the partitions are in a GPT disk. The NTFS C: drive that Windows boots to is at the end of the 160 GB internal drive. I am running a program called MacDrive 7 to give me access to the Macinotsh disk as an E: drive (formatted HFS+ I think) (Or is that HFSJ?). I have about 4GB of programs installed on E and the rest is on C. Norton Ghost chokes, and now so does VMware Converter. I'm not sure why I couldn't just keep a single directory on the E: drive. The only thing that will backup successfully is plain old ntbackup, which just keeps the files and ignores that it is HFS/HFS+.

Is there a provision to just store directories such as I want to do for my E: drive?

My process failed once at 2%. I noticed that there was an error message that said that only one partition could be marked actuve. So I went to the 160GB main disk I then went into Disk Managment and selected the Macintosh formatted partition (E:) and slected "mark partition as active." This WORKED!! I was able to complete a majority of the Converter process, but now it failed at 95% like the rest of you. Along with this log (below) there was one indication that there was no hal.dll -- but that may be normal. NOTE: the majority of the C: and E: drives were backed up to a network drive, so something was working until this error.

Hi, I would really appreciate if someone could help me with the issue I am seeing.

I acutally want to convert the Microsoft Virtual PC image to VMware image. The reason for this is our original project was in Evaluation copy of VPC and used pre-configured VHD. As a result, after the expiration period the VPC is rebooting every 2 hours or so. There is no way I can activate or upgrade the VPC (pre-configured evaluation copy). So, thinking to address the issue moving to VM image instead. However, i getting “P2VError UNKNOWN_METHOD_FAULT(sysimage.fault.ReconfigFault)" error almost at the end of the convert process. Tried few recommendations in the thread like cleaning registry. But no luck. Your any help would be really really really appreciated.

I have attached log file as well; if that helps.

I am converting VPC with Windows Server 2003 to VMWare image.

since the system is already a virtual machine use converter to convert a 3rd part image not a physical machine. Power of the Microsoft VM. Point converter to the VM files and this should work

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. I did select "Standalone Virtual machine, backup or disk image" as Source Type. Is that what you mean as well?
