P2V-BL460 C G1 completed and stuck on BSOD

[abhayjagdish]

Hi,

I just recently converted one HP BL460 C G1  physical to virtual using converter 5.1. The conversion action got completed successfully. after the power on the VM while installing the device driver it fails to install all other drivers including SCSI controller, also in device manager it is not showing any disk, successfully install vmtools as well, but after restart. OS version: windows 2008 R2.

looking forward some helpful tips on that.

Thanks Abhay.

What type/number of BSOD do you get? Can you confirm the VM was created with a virtual "LSI Logic SAS" controller?

Please create a log bundle in the converter GUI and attach this to a reply post.

>> ... also in device manager it is not showing any disk

Can you please clarify this. How can you access the device manager without booting (if there's no disk)?

This might be related to HP specific drivers and services. I'd suggest you create a snapshot after converting the system (unless you already did). This will allow you to revert to this snapshot if something goes wrong, rather than having to convert the system again. After that, boot into the OS and uninstall all HP related services and applications. Only if the system reboots without issues (check the Windows event logs), you may continue with installing VMware Tools.

You should find any HP driver and uninstall them, see https://communities.vmware.com/message/2298911#2298911
