Evening All,
I have been attempting to P2V a vCenter 5.1 Standard server running on windows 2008 R2 albeit very unsuccessfully at the moment. The P2V itself executes absolutely fine. However when I start up the new VM the vCenter Server service will not start and fails with a generic -2 error code. Having checked the vpxd logs I can see the following errors:
Sounds like traffic is being denied by the firewall to that port. Firewall source to target exception?
Hi David,
Many thanks for your reply. I have a solution for the issue above it appears. I did a fresh P2V and brought the server online connected a copy of my production domain controller and no longer get this issue. So it would seem domain connectivity is a requirement. However I still cannot start the vCenter server service. I now get exactly the same error documented in the following KB:
Unfortunately the documented fix does not work in my case. Any advice?
Cheers
Chris
Fortunately for me I have never seen that error. Are the permission for the web.xml file that you replaced per the KB correct?
