Linux P2V Failed at 98% Converter 6.2 error code 2

[servinf]

Hello

I'm trying to convert a virtual Linux server  2.6.32-5-amd64 under Proxmox in to a virtual one into a VCenter 6.5 with VMware vCenter Standalone 6.2.

it keeps failing at 98% with a status :

FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'InitrdNativePatcher failed to generate initrd image: /usr/lib/vmware-converter/initrdGenUbuntu.sh failed with return code: 2, and message: * /mnt/p2v-src-root/dev has 3 files /dev/mapper/groupe_de_volumes_1-root: No such file or directory stat: cannot stat `/dev/mapper/groupe_de_volumes_1-root': No such file or directory /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 1: arithmetic expression: expecting EOF: "0x % 256" * user script returning code 2 * unmounting /mnt/p2v-src-root/dev /mnt/p2v-src-root/proc and /mnt/p2v-src-root/sys ERROR:

Source machine has a logical volume, so i try to switch "To basic" in the destination layout.

Any suggestions ?

Hello

Can you try w/o switching to basic? If you have already tried - does it succeed? If not - what is the error?

If that doesn't help - post the full helper log and preferably the worker log as well. (the easy way is to right click on the task in the wizard and export the logs)

HTH,

Hello,

when I try without switch to basic, the conversion succeed.

But when I power on the machine, i have the folling error mesage :

Thanks for your help.

I may suggest you boot the converted VM from a live ISO (e.g. the one the source machine was installed from). Check whether all logical volumes have been cloned.

If yes - rebuild the initramfs image from the live ISO (it should have some repair option); if not - post the logs.
