Using VM converter to restore Solaris full VM

DanSunAdmin · ‎05-26-2008

Hi,

I use vcbmounter script to backup all my vm's, Windows and Solaris. When I use VMware converter on little VM, (-+25G) everything is fine, but when I want to do a full VM restore with a Huge VM I get a failed. Also I restore on a giggy ethernet and it takes lots of time to restore. Even if the virtuals disks are empty. I upgraded to the last version of Converter (3.03) and still the same issues. Anyone came across those problemes? Any other way of restoring a full VM is velcome.

Thank you

Can you please list steps taken (all commands executed).

Can you also attach the converter agent logs?
