Good Afternoon,
I have tried accomplishing this task with the vCenter Converter Standalone itself as well as the "Virtualize a Physical Machine" wizard through Workstation Pro itself. I have also tried to create the VM from the Workstation host as well as creating the VM from the physical machine to be converted. I get a different type of error with each way I've tried to do this.
For starters, I am trying to virtualize a newer Latitude 9250 with TPM and UEFI (if that matters). I am doing this (I hope) to prevent having to walk around with multiple machines all the time.
In trying to create the VM from the standalone converter on the host, I continually get a failure at 1% of creation of the VM with an error that it was "cannot format volume." Regardless of what disk controller that I use or how I choose to clone the volumes, that's error that is produced.
If I try to use Workstation Pro's wizard, I ended up with a "converter.fault.CredentialsConflictFault" referencing the inability to create a share to write the VM to. I am using the administrator account for this process. I also setup a dedicated, administrator account for this process. That didn't work either. I also manually created a share for writing the VM files. That also failed with the same error.
Other than the error message windows that appear during these processes, I have been unable to find any sort of information that helps to determine what the actual problem is, or how to solve it. Does anyone know of a way to debug this process? I would really like to get this done, but I have no idea what direction to go next. I have been trying this for days.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Also... I tried to use Starwind V2V to convert the machine as well, writing to an ESXi box I have in my office, but I received a message from THAT software stating that my license was incorrect for that operation.
