I'm in the process of moving a few virtual machines from Virtual Box to VMWare ESXi. I was able to successfully convert 3 VMs out of 4 using the VMWare Converter Standalone. VM is running Ubuntu 14.10.
The last VM, however, is giving me all kinds of issues. Conversion starts fine and then fails anywhere between 25% and 70% with the following error:
FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: '/usr/lib/vmware-converter/copyFileSystem.sh: line 125: 1917 Done echo <password> 1918 Done(141) | /usr/lib/vmware-converter/bin/ssh -z -F /usr/lib/vmware-converter/ssh.conf <user@ip.address> -p 22 "sudo tar --one-file-system --sparse -C '/' -cf - ." 1919 Killed | /bin/tar_1.28 --numeric-owner --delay-directory-restore -C '/mnt/p2v-src-root/' -y -xf - /usr/lib/vmware-converter/bin/ssh -z -F /usr/lib/vmware-converter/ssh.conf <user@ip.address> -p 22 "sudo tar --one-file-system --sparse -C '/' -cf - ." | /bin/tar_1.28 --numeric-owner --delay-directory-restore -C '/mnt/p2v-src-root/' -y -xf - (return code 137)'
From Log Hightlights:
8/3/2016 5:35:51 PM Error: unable to clone the volume mounted on '/' from '<ip address>'
I've tried few things to try and figure out what was causing the issue:
- ran disk check to make sure there are no errors
- stopped Atlassian services that run on this VM
- tried converting to a different VMWare host
- tried changing the partition sizes in converter
- Reinstalled VMWare Converter
- tried running VMware Converter from another machine
- made sure no network drives/shares are connected
Any help would be much appreciated.
