Virtual Machine Manager – P2V/V2V | Forum profile

For the sake of testing can you do any of the the following.(Option A / Option B)? Option A Obtain one vmware environment with windows 2003 SP2 or better. Then attach all the disks from the failed migration as additional drive Boot into the surrogate vmware environment and install sysinternals Disk2VHD Then manually convert the attached vmdk disks to vhd and save it elsewhere (shared folders?) After that Copy or move those vhd to the...

the question is, why cant i just use the built in V2V and make it work? I have tried your option A, there is too much mess to fix as both the keyboard and mouse fail to register during bootup eventhough i am in front of the console and physically connected to the machine. In other words im stucked in an unusable desktop, probably because there're still traces of vmtools not 100% removed from the box.  Anyhow I...

Thanks Mike, Downgrading one of my host servers is really not an option, and I have been trying to download VMM 2008 r2 from TechNet for the better part of a week with no joy. All I can get from TechNet is  "Were working on it" maybe in a couple more days will know why you can't download and who knows how long it will take them to actually fix it; really makes me wonder why I pay a subscription. Does anyone...

thanks Juraj I'll try...

Both Citrix and Hyper-V use VHDs for virtual hard drives so moving across these two hypervisors is fairly easy.

During the scan system phase of a P2V conversion we are making remote WMI calls to the Source computer to grab some basic system information.  If for some reason these remote WMI calls fails, for example due to access denied, then the Scan System phase of the P2V will fail and it cannot continue forward. Some possible reasons are that the account entered in the P2V wizard is not a member of the local admins group on the source...

While trying a P2V of a Windows 2000 host, I get the following in VMM2008R2: Error (2944): VMM is unable to complete the requested operation because the server name ... could not be resolved. I am using VMM2008R2 to do the migrating, and I have tried migrating this physical to a VM on a Windows 2008 (not R2) and 2008 R2 server, both failing. The physical machine successfully restarts into WinPE and is able to get an IP address via...

I had the same problem when coverting a Windows Server 2000 SP4. I found out that before the coversion interupped the server did lose the network connection. I changed the server to use the other network card and also changed the settings on the switchport to 1GB full and auto on the server. After this the hard disk copy worked. Roger.

Hello, does anyone have a procedure. I am trying to convert a physical Linux SLES system until a VM, running the Hyper-V R2 solution, I also have VMM installed.
