vmware vcenter converter standalone client

[woodreader]

Hi,

I am trying to P2V a standalone ucs redhat server Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.9 (Santiago). A df -h shows the amount of space available, but I get the error::

FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: ' Volume group "vg_berdev0051" has insufficient free space (58360 extents):574592 required. (return code 5)'

I have [lenty of available space. Can someone help me to figure out what the real issue is?

The numbers in the message are an order of magnitude different. This is weird and suggestive of a bug. Could you upload the logs bundle for further examination?

Hi,

This vmware article talks about a problem very similar to yours:
