# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file Here are my configs as shown when using a rescue disk and chroot into /]# cat /boot/grub/nf I'm at a loss at this point, I'm open to suggestions.

I was advised to change the disks to IDE, but I can't see anyway to do this in ESXi 5.1. I have tried this : echo "DMRAID=no" > /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd/noraid chmod 755 /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd/noraid as suggested here : I have confirmed the presence of /dev, /sys and /proc directories. I have tried VMware Standalone converter 5.5 and 5.0 with the same results. I have tried installing disk labels but that didn't make any difference. I have re-installed the CentOS kernel but that didn't make any difference.

I have followed the instructions on fixing this : Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!-220000 Switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Setuproot: error mounting /sys failed: No such file or directory Setuproot: error mounting /proc failed: No such file or directory Setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory Mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' I am trying to convert a machine based on CentOS 5.3, I keep getting "kernel panic" on boot.

#JAVA UNABLE TO INSTALL. ERROR CODE 1618 WINDOWS#
We are trying to convert a Windows Server 2003 圆4 SP2 machine and get this error at 98 percentįAILED: A general system error occurred: Unknown exception. With file level copy you are not able to run synchronization afterwards, which we really need to do since this conversion will take several days and there will be a lot of changes left out if we don't synchronize in the end.ĭoes anyone have an idea how I could work around this? If I choose to run the same job, but change the volume size and shrink it below 10 TB, the job runs fine! (Are there any limitations to this in Converter?) The only problem is that by doing this, it changes the copy type from "block level" to "file level". You would think that this is network related, but as it turns out, everything on the network/DNS side is OK: Verify that the Converter server and the running source machines have a network access to the source and destination ESX/ESXi hosts. FAILED: An error occured while opening a virtual disk.After a couple of minutes the newly created virtual machine on the ESX is deleted and after a few more minutes VMware Converter times out and reports the following error message: If I choose to run this with default setting (block size level copy, maintain disk size, all volumes on the same datastore) it creates the virtual machine on the ESX server and Converter reports the following task: "Task: Convert physical machnie". Server 3 has 1 C: drive and 1 large volume on 7,5TB and 4x1,9TB.Server 2 has 1 C: drive and 8x1,9TB volumes.Server 1 has 1 C: drive, and 2 large volumes on 7,5 TB each.I am converting directly into an ESXi 5.5 host without vCenter.Įach server is about 15 TB total disk space ( >10TB consumed), but they have different disk setup. I am using VMware Converter 5.5 and have installed it locally on each server. I am trying to convert 3 very large physical fileservers into 3 virtual servers.
