Unable to find vmware standalone converter for linux

Hi I am going around in circles with the website, and other fora, still unable to find a tar file of the vmware standalone converter

 

The best guide is here https://linhost.info/2009/04/vmware-converter-installation-on-ubuntu-linux/

 

The only problem is once I login to VMware vCenter Converter: P2V Virtual Machine Converter

 

I can only see downloads for windows. I am trying to convert my local ubuntu machine into a vm, which I can use as a vm on my windows machine.

 

I have also tried using the converter software installed on my windows machine to do this remotely, facing an error with that also - unable to query the live linux source machine

 

please help!

P2V from Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2 backup

I need to create a VM from a backup created with Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2.

VMware Converter Standalone does not allow anymore creating VMs from Symantec backup files, and old versions support only outdated formats.

If I create a VM and boot from the Symantec recovery disk I can restore the server from the backup but the VM does not work.

Is there any Solution I can implement?

Is there any third party product I can use?

Regards

Convert Disk While OS Not Running?

January 20, 2017, 12:52 pm

I'm looking to virtualize a physical disk running Vista.  My machine is a multi-boot PC with 3 drives, each containing a different OS.

Disk 1: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Disk 2: Windows Vista 32-bit

Disk 3: Windows XP Pro 32-bit

 

Each one of these disks has 2 partitions, a primary for the OS and a logical drive for data.  I'm just looking to virtualize the primary OS partition to a virtual disk.

 

Looking at the documentation, it appears that to do a virtualization, the Source OS partition needs to be up and running. Is there any way to just point the converter to that primary partition while its not running?

 

Also, I don't see that Windows XP is supported.  Is it possible to use this tool to virtualize that primary partition also?

 

Thank You

For 1 physical server that we are working to convert to a VM using the standalone converter, we receive unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine.  If we try another physical system, there are no issues and we are able to proceed.  We have restarted the physical server that we are unable to obtain information from, but that has not helped.

GrubInstaller kernel too old

Hi all,

I'm trying to p2v a Suse 12.1 vm with lvm (I've found this machine as is and I cannot do a lot of thing on it).


Converter 6.1.1 is unable to convert due to "Unable to query the live Linux source machine", only version that starts is 6.0.0

At 99% I got the following error: FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'GrubInstaller::InstallGrub: /usr/lib/vmware-converter/installGrub.sh failed with return code: 127, and message: FATAL: kernel too old Error running vmware-updateGrub.sh through chroot into /mnt/p2v-src-root /usr/lib/vmware-converter/installGrub.sh: line 147: /mnt/p2v-src-root: Is a directory '


Without grub, machine is unable to start.. i've tried all suggestion in this post ubuntu p2v - converter fails generic error but without success, even changing install-grub and update-grub script in helper machine during conversion before running grub script installation.

I've also tried to restore grub using Suse rescue console with no luck.

Installing VMware vCenter Converter Standalone fails on windows 7 with error : Could not extract file

January 30, 2017, 2:19 am

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble with installation of VMware vCenter Converter Standalone on my Windows 7 Enterprise workstation. I tried installing different versions (6.1.1, 6.0.0, 5.5.3, 5.5.2) and every time I get the error "could not extract file ." (with no file name mentioned, as you can see in the attached file) after installation begins (I passed all the installation questions successfully).

 

Prviously I had v5.5.2 installed, I installed v5.5.3 succesfully without uninstalling previous version. As I wanted to install the latest version, I wanted to make it cleanly, so I uninstalled my current version (5.5.3), and now I can't install any version, even my v5.5.2 that was previsouly installed.

 

Did someone already had this problem and found a solution ? Or do you have any idea that could help me ?

 

I tried to run the installer as administrator, but it didn't change anything.

In case it could have side effects, I have these VMware products installed :

- VMware Player

- VMware vSphere Client 4.1

- VMware vSphere Client 5.1

- VMware vSphere Client 5.5

To test the installer, I installed v6.1.1 on windows 2003 and I had no problem.
