P2V Convert Redhat Linux 5.3 Failed

[MichaelTsang]

I am trying to convert the physical Redhat 5.3 enterprise server machines using VM Converter Standalone edition 4.0.1; but everytime is is failed. Does anyone know what is happening?

I am attaching the converter log for reference.

P.S. I am not so familiar with Linux OS.

Thanks, Michael

did you try to convert this linux vm while powered off?

[MichaelTsang]

I am trying to convert a physical machine to virtual; not virtual to physical. I don't think I can clone a machine when it it power off.

ow sorry

Yes, you can use cold clone (converter boot iso). This should work fine.

[MichaelTsang]

Cold clone does not support Linux, only Windows

[mlubinski]

This is not true. I did it once with cold boot, and it works fine. I did it with converter 3.x as far as I remember

Yes, you are right but now I am using vSphere and need to use standalone converter instead of boot CD.
