Issue with converting Ubuntu 12.4 Physical machine to ESX 4.0

Hi All,

Am converting Ubuntu 12.4 Physical machine to ESX 4.0 Virutal machine through converter_standalone_4.3. But, am getting error in 99% with below error.

Status: FAILED: An error occued during the conversion.

Error: Unable to reconfigure the destination virtual machine.

I tried with different convertor version and I have upgraded linux kernal version in the physical machine. But, still am facing the same issue.

So, Please advise on this.

Note: Kindly find the attached screenshot.

To resolve this issue:

  1. Run this command to determine the default kernel version:

    uname -a
  2. Run this command to find the kernel version installed:

    rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
  3. If the installed kernel version is different from the default kernel version loaded, restart the host to load the correct kernel version.

Hope this helped

Best regards

Yours, Oscar

Just use a newer converter. 5.5 supports ESX 4.0 as destination.
