P2V of Linux Machine

We are using vcenter converter (5.0 & 5.1).

We want to converter our Linux Machine (CentOS) into VM. vCenter Converter Standalone is installed on Windows Server.

After providing all the credential on source & destination, we face the issue in drives. We not able to view 500GB LUN which is assigned to Linux Machine. All the local drives we able to view.

Any way to view 500 GB LUN.

Regards,

Mitesh

Unfortunatly not, Converter recognize only sdX (SCSI) and hdX (IDE) disks.

From the other hand - you can reuse LUN without transferring it to VMDK (if possible).

You can do this manually, create a VMDK, format disk and then transfer data with tar.
