Converter Standalone 6.2.0

Hello Guys,

Hope you are well : )

All-day digging in google but nothing that can help ...

Currently, we are trying to perform live migration on several VMs with Converter Standalone 6.2.0, for the Windows VMs is working good however, we are facing issue with Linux ones mostly RHEL 6 and 7.

After migration, the destination have doesn't have 3 disks only 2, one small with a boot on it, and another one with all partitions.

All Linux VMs have 2,3 or more disk and all of them are part of LVMs, for example:

source VM have:

NAME                    MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
  sr0                      11:0    1 1024M  0 rom
  sdb                       8:16   0   50G  0 disk
  └─sdb1                    8:17   0   50G  0 part
    ├─vgOS-homevol (dm-4) 253:4    0   51G  0 lvm  /home
    └─vgOS-varvol (dm-5)  253:5    0   48G  0 lvm  /var
  sda                       8:0    0   60G  0 disk
  ├─sda1                    8:1    0  200M  0 part /boot
  └─sda2                    8:2    0 59.8G  0 part
    ├─vgOS-swapvol (dm-0) 253:0    0    2G  0 lvm  [SWAP]
    ├─vgOS-rootvol (dm-1) 253:1    0   32G  0 lvm  /
    ├─vgOS-usrvol (dm-2)  253:2    0    6G  0 lvm  /usr
    ├─vgOS-tmpvol (dm-3)  253:3    0    2G  0 lvm  /tmp
    ├─vgOS-homevol (dm-4) 253:4    0   51G  0 lvm  /home
    └─vgOS-varvol (dm-5)  253:5    0   48G  0 lvm  /var
  sdc                       8:32   0   40G  0 disk
  └─sdc1                    8:33   0   40G  0 part
    ├─vgOS-usrvol (dm-2)  253:2    0    6G  0 lvm  /usr
    ├─vgOS-homevol (dm-4) 253:4    0   51G  0 lvm  /home
    └─vgOS-varvol (dm-5)  253:5    0   48G  0 lvm  /var

In the convertor, migration completes without any warning but for the new VM we are getting kernel panic : ( pastedImage_0.png

With rescue CD manage to edit the fstab and put the UUID of the VOLs

but nothing change.

Do you have any idea where is the problem?

Thank you for your help.
