First off: Thank you POCEH for your remarks on local user accounts and consequences of this on reaching other servers. --- I struggled with the same issue as OP and probably also mr Boltzman. I did not get the exact same errormessages, but I had the same idea of virtualizing to a share on another server. This did not work and the converter-log was swamped with "Sysimgbase_Disklib_Getinfo failed with access denied", "FileIO-unlock", "Error 327689 opening disk", "FileIO lock ... lock timed out", "Locking of virtual disk failed..." etc I found a solution on this link: https://nikolar.com/2015/03/10/creating-network-share-with-anonymous-access/ This described what is needed to secure anonymous access to a share. In my case I have configured several places so I am not sure how much of my changes were actually needed, but the last configs was in Windows Local Security Policy with "Network access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously" incl my sharename and "Network access: Named pipes that can be accessed anonymously". I think the opening for anonymous tricked it. I made (at least) the following configs on the server with the sharename: - No UAC and win firewalls - Enable guestaccount - Add guest and anonymous with full access to the shared folder Local security policy (Security settings/Local policies/Security Options): - Accounts: Guest account status – change to Enabled - Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users – change to Enabled - Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares – change to Disabled - Network access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously – enter name of share you created in the text field My setup: - Source: Virtual win2012R2 - Destination: Share on other virtual win2012R2 - Same subnet - Converter 6.2.7348398 I have a current case in a prod-environment were the above could be usefull but I doubt I can get away with all these changes in the security profile. For my prod-case I think I will go for running the P2V from another server in the same subnet which luckily has access to a vCenter.

5 cents from me. I also experienced problems with getting Replication server up and running, VRM service was stopped and was in no way shape to get running. I got a "Bad exit code: 1". If i tried a new certificate i was told the certificate was wrong with nice red letters. Log files told - the hms service was not running. "hms not configured" - route not found (or something like that) My setup: homelab with 6.7u3 in domain. I did the official rename feature after initial install as I got stuck getting the vCenter servername to work correct in the first place. After reinstalling 8.2 several times and trying 8.1.2 also and looking through 10 miles of logs, the following KB led me to check yet another file VMware Knowledge Base (KB 2106709) This points to checking the following: /opt/vmware/etc/vami/ovfEnv.xml file. The file should contain the following properties: evs:GuestApi/evs:URL evs:GuestApi/evs:Token evs:GuestApi/evs:X509Thumbprint evs:VCenterApi/evs:IP evs:VCenterApi/evs:X509Thumbprint evs:VCenterApi/evs:HttpPort evs:VCenterApi/evs:HttpsPort evs:VCenterApi/evs:SelfMoRef evs:VCenterApi/evs:Address Looking into the xml-file there is valuable background info on the Replication setup and at least I found that VR was expecting to connect using the ancient vCenter name "photon-machine". The lazy fix was to create a new DNS-record, the right fix ... well, new install some other day. My issue was probably not the same as OP, but the KB may be useful anyways.
Great work - thank you very much for sharing!

Time to ressurrect this issue once more. I have had the same issue with v4 and v5 years back just as you good people, but have since used rvtools and forgotten all about it. Well, well, well. Here we are in 2019 working with v6 and I end up in a situation where I dont have rvtools and try to export using vCenter. So... export list of VM has the same issues with missing servers... as v5 ... as v4. It can still be fixed by browsing down patiently.

Hi, I got the same error as the original poster: FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'BlockLevelVolumeCloneMgr::CloneVolume: Detected a write error during the cloning of volume \WindowsBitmapDriverVolumeId=[48-BF-48-BF-00-7E-00-00-00-00-00-00]. Error: 37409 (type: 1, code: 2338)' Source was a physical Windows 2003 SP2 on HP hardware. Converter was 6.2.0 build 7448398. Converter was run from jump server and not installed on source or vCenter. It started out fine with a transferrate of 40-45 MB/second but failed after 2% or 3%. None of these configurations worked: - Chkdsk of drive C: - Selected 1 disk at a time (I had Data Connections per Task set to 2) - Selected just drive c: (that made it migrate to 36% before failure) What worked was to select a different datastore as destination. I reused the original setup with conversion of 2 drives in parallel but with another datastore. The datastores are theoretically alike .. .but ... but ... same same but diffferent. Transferrate was 8,75 Mb/second.

Hi, There may already be answers to this question, but after some googling i have found no concrete answer. As I understand it, it is possible to have a Red Hat license/subscription for a physical ESXi server and this makes it possible to have unlimited Red Hat VMs on that specific ESXi. Is it possible to select a subgroup of ESXi servers from a cluster and license them for Red Hat use OR does such a step require that a whole cluster of ESXi servers need to be licensed? What i am looking for (as the best) is a license document which describes exactly how this works, and i guess a lot of you good people have Red Hat in your environments and have some experience in this. Cheers, Lars

Disabled IP6 worked for me also. No consistency on this though: - Al work done in Workstation 12 with Chrome 56 (the one that works with Integration plugin) - 2 virtual servers running Win2012R2 with vCenter 6 build 2994041 - vCenter 1 could deploy OVF - vCenter 2 could not. OVF deploy from other windows-os could deploy on vCenter 2. If IP6 was disabled on vCenter 2 deployment was possible. If I enabled it again = didnt work. Other findings - Other NICs in virtual machine can also cause trouble. Disconnect. - Older disconnected NICs can still be shown in Windows and cause confusion. Remove completely.

A bit embarrassing, but googling info here, there and everywhere has not given any clarity so I will bump this 4 year old post anyways: Does anyone know if the uptime reset during vMotion has been solved? My latest try is with powershell 2.0 vs vSphere 5.1.1235233 and the reset is still present. I am testing with "Get-Stat -Entity <insert favorite servername> -start (get-date).AddDays(-30) -Finish (Get-Date)-MaxSamples 1000 -stat sys.uptime.latest|Out-GridView" on a server that I have migrated and booted on known dates.

You are on the right path. scsiport.sys should be updated to a later version. The "windows 2000 update rollup 1" came in a updated version, v2, later in 2005 at september 13th. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891861 This later version of the scsiport.sys in this rollup carries a versionnumber of 5.00.2195.7059 Your steps 1. - 4. seem correct. I have just virtualized two servers today with Windows 2000 SP4. It didnt work first time, as I recieved 2 x BSOD. After digging with google and updating with the "new" rollup, booting and virtualizing both servers worked. There can still be pitfalls as a third server doesnt allow me to install Converter 4.01 - alas, more time with google Good luck

This subject is always interesting - servers running out of disk space. For a couple of weeks my collegue and I have been looking for at way to trigger an event in Virtual Center when one of the dearly beloved virtual machines runs low on free space. This mail thread seems to show that this is not possible through Virtual Center - at least not in december 2010. Now were running 5.0 so the question is if anything has changed here? Could it be that a new event has arrived saying "fireTriggerWhenVMisAbove80percent" so we can see it in Virtual Center as well as send a trap to HPO ? We're looking at this from two different angles: 1) Fire an event (hopefully an snmp trap) when free space falls below an absolute value (say: 1 Gb) 2) Fire an event (again, in best case an snmp trap) when space falls below a relative value (say: 80%)
could be this problem: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2008957 Cant migrate neither hot or cold
