VMWare Convertor 4.0.1

Dear all,

we are trying to convert an older server to a Virtual Machine.

We get this error:

Failed to open disk scsi0:0: Unsupported and/or invalid disk type 7.

Did you forget to import the disk first?Unable to create virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0

( and then the location )

I have searched in this site, but can not find a working solution.

I have used the latest VMWare Standalone Convertor 4.0.1

I have tested on the server:

- ESX 4.1

- ESX 4.0.0 (update1) build 208167

- ESXi 4.0.0 rel 193498

I have tried several options to create the VM, but I still get this error.

Normally this doesn't give an issue, but now I ran into one. Can someone please help us.

If any more information is needed, please ask. THANKS !

Thanks for the reply.

But I already read this one. Sorry but no working solution.

The solution for that matter was that they used an older VMWare Convertor.

We have used the latest one.

Thanks anyway.
