Hi,
Today i have tried to convert a Windows 2003 Server using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.3. It starts fine and copies C and D partition but when it comes to E all operation stops. I can not see any disk activity on the ESX server and job status does not change, first time i let it be for 90-120 minutes. I have tried to look into the exported log files but i am not sure how to interpet the last messages. I have cut out the last lines, first line i think indicates that D partition has finished.
Vmware-converter-worker-1.log see attached file
So i tried to exclude E volume from the conversion. Then after D it continues with O and it stops. No data is being transfered.
I do not change the size of any volumes so the copy is volume based. Have stopped all the SQL services. The thing that makes O and E different from C and D is that C and D are partitions on the first internal disk. E is a partition on the second internal disk. O is a LUN on EMC SAN. My first thought was that powerpath made converter confused, but since E is an internal disk it should not be a multipathing problem.
Target hos is a VMware ESX 4.1 managed by vCenter 4.1, i point out the vCenter server during the conversion wizard.
I cant see why this fails. All thoughts are appreciated.
