Hi All,
i am in the midst of p-v and have some issue obtaining hw info. I belive its realted to converter version.
I am looking for version 5.1 everywhere and unable to get one.
If anyone have converter standalone 5.1 version , Kindly share. (maybe dropbox?)
Thanks.
regards,
Max
You could contact VMware support and ask them.
I believe only 5.5 and 6.0 are available now.
What's the vCenter version, ESXi version
and
What is the Guest OS of the machine that you want to convert?
Suhas
Could you upload log bundle to check your problem?
i have created the support ticket and they gave up already. Said converter wont support raid disks.
vcenter 5.1
esx5.1
physical server - win2003r2 ent
The disks are san disks and some are configured into striped mode in os.
however,I have similar server setup but have no issue on that server.
But that particular server hardware cant be detected.weird.
What Converter detects for physical server? Are you sure the live volumes are not detected?
Why do you need exactly Converter 5.1? Later Converter versions maintain compatibility with older ESX and Workstaion.
i have tried version 5.0 5.5 and 6.0
with 5.5 and 6.0 i have the same error when detecting hardware info. ( power-on machine, input target credential , deploy agent ,error )
with 5.0, i pass that stage and obviously hit error when loging to vcenter because its 5.0 ( power-on machine, input target credential , deploy agent , input vcenter credential , UI hang)
thats why if i can get 5.1 i belive it may work. slim chance.
I am experiencing the same problem.
When using version 6.x it hangs on the "retrieving source.."information.
Since we are using vCenter and vSphere 5.1, I tried to download that version of converter but I cannot download it (VMWare internet page errors and/or not egible).
yes if someone can provide 5.1 will be good.
To workaround, i setup nested esxi5.0 and use converter 5.0. it works. just completed converstion and bootup.
Could you provide log bundle with Converter crash?
