P2V SLES9 source disk missing

I'm trying to convert SLES 9 to virtual machine but vCenter Converter shows only /boot and swap partitions.

What to do?

Could you please give more info about the source machine - what kind of disks/partitions are there, are they RAID, LVM, etc.. Pasting /etc/fstab is a good idea.

Note also some Converter limitations in release notes. e.g "Converter Standalone does not recognize source volumes that reside on Linux Software RAID configurations" and "P2V conversions of SLES 9 sources cannot complete, if the root directory is located on an LVM disk"

You were right. There is software RAID.
