Windows Server 2003 Fails to convert

[Hogwilde1]

I am trying to convert a physical HP Proliant server (W.S.2003 SP1) to a virtual with VMWare Converter 3.02. I keep getting an unknown error at about 92%..I have attached the log files below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is your F:\ drive a USB device, network share or simply local storage?

>F:\VM Server 103\IntellisyncBK\IntellisyncBK\

Reason I ask is because of the error:

>[#4] (Re)Start waiting for property updates from CloneTask::task

>[2008-02-27 09:33:49.765 'App' 3208 info] DISKLIB-LIB : RWv failed ioId: #1588927 (2162697) (9) .

>[#4] Error 2162697 writing to the destination volume

Can you try converting it with the same options but choose to split the file into 2gb chunks?

Hello,

I concur as well, it is failing to write the last 5% of the vmdk to the current device on F:

Try a different storage location.

The F drive is a USB drive but it has more than enough space for the conversion. I originally tried to write it to a network share but that failed also.

It is a USB drive but I was trying that because it failed trying to write to a network share originally. I have never done the 2 GB split option how does that work in the end? does it combine the 2 GB files?

I have converted 50G drives to a single vmdk.

However it could be a converter client problem not handling a large file so try the 2GB split option.

If it's not the boot drive then skip it and copy it later.
