After converting 2 HP DL360 G5's with teamed nics i now get the below error when trying to launch the HP Network Configuration Utility:
"An error occured due to the invalid data in the xml file used by this application. The XML file has been corrupted and should be reinstalled from the installation media"
This has happened on both servers I have converted so far and although the lack of nic teaming isnt a huge issue, i'm concerned that this may be an idication that the conversion processes didnt go a smoothly as it appeared and there may be more corrupt files lurking.
does anyone know if this is a known issue?
I am using Stand Alone Converter 4.3
Many thanks
Hello
Good morning from Canada
After converting P2V you MUST remove all the hardware agents from the Virtual Machine which includes the HP NIC Teaming, it will not work properly
on your VM and it may cause lots of weird issues
As you can see on this KB under "Tasks to perform after conversion has completed" section http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004588
After conversion has completed:
Hello.
You should uninstall the HP Network utilities in the VM. Use your vSwitch for redundancy now.
Good Luck!
you cannot use the hardware teaming software in a virtual machine. You will need to uninstall the HP Network Configuration Utility. For that matter uninstall everything hardware related.
Also, go through device manager and uninstall and "ghosted" devices.

Thanks to everyone that has answered so quickly. Makes sense that all H/W related utilities should be removed.
I just wasnt sure if the fact it was failing was due to an incompatability issue or because the conversion screwed up - i guess its safe to assume it's compatability related?
