I cannot convert the redhat 5.3 from xen server

Hi Vmware,

I tried three version of vmware converter ( 4.3, 5.5 & 6.0)

There is no one can work on redhat 5.3.

After i insert all the login information to the converter, the converter returns an error to me

"unable to query the live linux source machine"

Could somebody give me advice? Thanks a lot.

I have searched the problem on google and tried all the solution.

1. My source server can ssh with root.

2. echo "ALL:ALL" >> /etc/hosts.allow i added this command to hosts.allow.

3. Only one interface on the server (eth0)

Please feel free to ask if you need more information.

Problem solved.

The cause is my source server is no more free space here and the df command is not working on the server.

The converter cannot determine the source server hard-drive information.

Then the error will comes out.

After i free some space on the server. It works perfectly now.
