Unable to query live linux source machine.

[DexterVM]

This error is occurd while performing v2v conversion "Unable to query live linux source machine."

Ubuntu Os 16.04 is supported and vcenter converter version is 6.2

In worker logs i am finding this error vmware-converter-worker[00532] [Originator@6876 sub=Default] No disks for volume with id '/dev/sda1' and label ''

I am able to do ssh from converter standalone machine.

No firewall in between

DNS entries are made properly.

can anyone help me with resolving this issue?

when i try to do conversion in power off state it gives me error as "a file i/o error has occurred while accessing "

Hi,

According to the log "/dev/sda1" is mounted both as "/" and as "/var/lib/docker/aufs". Converter has a problem when a devices is mounter more than once (VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2.0.1 Release Notes look for "Converter cannot query Linux source when a volume is mounted more than once").

I suggest you unmount the aufs mount (can't convert w/o root) and retry the conversion. Once it starts, you can remount it w/o waiting for it to finish.

HTH,
