Error 29142

I tried different settings in Properties, like 3D acceleration off and changing the cores, but still no good result. I'M tring soon the option B, which is your second idea, but I lost with that sentence: "Load Hive" in Registry editor. I have only "import", export" and connect to a "netwok object" functions under File menu.
It must be that 'Load hive' is a newer functionality, from a later Windows version. Not sure whether that would work (if the registry binary format is not changed - it should), can you try to attach the vmdk to a newer Windows (7 has it for sure, 2k8 perhaps too)?
I reviewed the article but there is not 'vmware-ufad-p2v-XXXXX' subdirectories left in the physical machine neither stcp2v30, vstor2-p2v30, vmware-ufad-p2v-XXXXX and courier-XXXXX keys in the Registry
For the execution I tried with 'vCenter Converter v.4.0.1' ( portable application ), the files attached previously ( 'log_files (vCenter Converter Standalone v.4.0.1-161434).zip' ) could be useful because contains some lines with errors but I would need some expert to review them to figure out what is the problem.
I am sorry you had to go through this hassle, didn't expect that. Let me reiterate - this is not a supported scenario and I was just thinking of possible hacks to work around. I've tried loading a registry hive of a w2k3 vm in w10 and it didn't work, then it worked from w7. That's all.
The idea of the hack is to remove the raid driver's entries from the registry and then cross fingers Windows will be able to configure itself with the virtual hardware. Loading the hive from another windows machine was just the first idea that came to my mind about how to tweak that registry.
I'm receiving a "ssh connection was refused" error while trying to conduct a Linux P2V with the SDK. I checked that that SSH is running on the source machine and that root is in the AllowUsers for SSHD. I'm beginning to believe that this error may have to with something other than SSH? Any ideas would be wonderful.
I'm trying to do a basic P2V conversion with the Converter SDK for .Net; however I keep receiving Failed to Connect to Converter Server. I'm running the SDK on the Converter Server. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
We are trying to run the VMware SDK for a convert operation on a local machine. We have installed the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client, the one with a GUI that you can manually convert with, but we would like to be able to do this with the SDK. The manual convert operations within the GUI all seem to be working fine, but whenever we attempt to do this within the SDK we keep getting errors that we have not been able to resolve internally.
- Conversion of powered off VMs, including both managed (ESXi or vCenter Server) and hosted (Workstation, Player, Fusion) sources and destinations; hosted sources include also Hyper-V VMs, VMware backups, and third party images;
Sorry for my general question here but I am not knowledgeable outside of scripting in any form of programming and I need to find a way to create a command line task in VMWARE Converter to convert either a P2V or a V2V to a designated location using the time of creation as part of the name so that I can setup this up in windows scheduler to repeat once per week. If anyone has ever written anything that can do this before I would appreciate whatever help that you can provide. Thank you for your time.
I attempted to install VMware vCenter Standalone Client ver. 6.2 on my Dell 8700 PC running Windows 8.1. I selected to do a local install only. The install failed with an error something like "The service could not be started."
The computer is an old laptop which has an internal Seagate drive with 3 partitions as it appears in the image attached. C: has the windows installation, D: is a partition for data and the 3rd one I am not sure what it contains; I believe it has some kind of recovery software (?)
I'm trying to make a VM of the laptop because it started showing signs that it might die soon - several times of freezing, then not being able to boot. After opening the laptop's case and clearing it a bit, it seems to be working fine - but in any case I'd like to somehow preserve the OS and programs/software that nobody has the installation files for anymore.
Hello,
I'm trying to do a p2v with vmconverter 6.2.0 from a Redhat 7.4 server. All goes well but at startup between the bios and grud I have the message:
error: can't find command ':'
I press the spacebar several times to get to the grub menu. Then the start of the vm is happening normally.
We just stood up our VxRails with a vSphere environment and now we are attempting to convert our existing Hyper-V virtual machines running on a failover cluster on 3 Windows server 2012R2 nodes using the free utility vCenter converter standalone to convert the Hyper-V vms to VMware VM on vSphere infrastructure. In the converter, after selecting a source Hyper-V server with credentials and viewing the VMs running on this node, i selected a virtual machine that is powered off then click next but i get an error: "Permission to perform this operation was denied".
Can anyone help me with this issue or have suggestions. I tried to manually move the VMDK form this host but VMware says if does nto recognize the VMDK format. QNAS point fingers at VMware of course.
Now I want to convert a Windows-10 PC (retail key activated build 1903) to a Workstation VM, before I retire the machine. I am logged in as the administrator and have "run as administrator" as well. Before pressing the final button to submit I can read the source details, and the job submits (destination a LAN smb share) but fails with the above error.
I've disabled UAC as recommended somewhere, and joined the special VM ____ user to the administrators group although I never needed to do either thing previously. I notice another user has hit the same problem in the last few days
Logs are attached in case anyone can help. I may try uninstalling and re-installing when I get a moment and maybe updating to 1909, but I can't see why that would help when it's the 1903 version I last converted. Last option would be to use a backup of this machine to restore onto another existing or newly created VM, but I'd like to know why it's not working in any case.
I am in the process of trying to convert a machine to a VM using vCenter Converter and cannot get the conversion to work. It always fails at 1% or 2% with the error in the title of this post. The full error is: FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'BlockLevelVolumeCloneMgr::CloneVolume: Detected a write error during the cloning of volume \WindowsBitmapDriverVolumeId=[98-87-BA-25-00-00-80-0C-00-00-00-00]. Error: 401 (type: 1, code: 25)'
I'm trying to convert the local machine to VMWare Workstation 11/12. The source machine is Windows 7 Pro x64. I've recently done two conversions just like this one from similar source hardware which both converted with no issues, so I have no idea what could be wrong here.
Well i'm converting a 2012 server on to esxi, but as i start the conversion i get the error from the Topic. My pc is on win10. agent is well installed on the server, i've did other servers in the past.
It seems that the converter drops proper SELinux-capabilities from /usr/bin/ping during conversion. Because of this, normal user's will not anymore have rights to use ping since it opens a RAW socket and that is guarded by SELinux (when enforced). The issue can be fixed manually either by giving back the proper capabilities to /usr/bin/ping or by reinstalling iputils. Anyhow it would be nice if Converter preserved SELinux-capabilities properly during conversion.
These conversions were made with vmware converter and all went by with flying colors. Now the issue is that now I'm totally unable to convert anything from the new 6.5 host. This is a must-need-feature as our users constantly move these VM's from the host to their player/workstation infrastructure.
3) Third error is with the newest converter 6.2. This version gives me the "cannot lock disks" error straight up. It doesn't matter, whether I'm using a NFS share or trying to convert to my local disk.
Hello. I am trying to install VMware Converter in Ubuntu 18.04-LTS. I have no idea how to do this. Install documentation for the operating system or just linux in general is virtually non-existent. I read the current documentation and looks like I can only install this latest version in Windows, however there is an open source download available. Can someone please help? I downloaded the latest file. The name of the file is VMware-converter-6.2.0-7348398.odp, of which I extracted all the way to VMware-converter-6.2.0-7348398.odp.tar, a tar file. In general, I just want VMware Converter installed on my linux operating system. Any help or guides\documentation would be appreciated.
I am a Redhat newbie by ANY stretch of the imagination and I was given and accepted the challenge of virtualizing our existing RedHat installation (ver. 5.11)...YES I know it is super old...but the hardware is dying so it is more important to get it off there first....to that end; I used the VMware converter tool which seems to work fine until the very end 97%...and then it fails....I then boot up with "No Operating System found"...even a dummy like me realizes that it is looking for the grub loader in the boot partition but I am clearly too stupid to understand the myriad of ways that people are tossing around to deal with it....I have found numerous articles about the same thing...sort of....but I still have NO idea how to fix it.
