Hi.
I'm getting trouble with P2V using the converter v5.1 beta.
Source is SLES 11 SP1(64bit) (IBM BladeCenter HS22), booting from SAN.
When about to start P2V and click the "finish" button on converter client GUI, error message is shown.
The worker log says:
2013-04-17T16:31:08.347+09:00 [06636 warning 'Default'] Disk id fake-disk-from-vg(vg00) does not identify an existing disk
2013-04-17T16:31:08.347+09:00 [06636 error 'Default'] VmTransformerImpl::SeparateBootDisk: Unable to find VirtualDisk for diskId=fake-disk-from-vg(vg00)
2013-04-17T16:31:08.347+09:00 [06636 error 'Default'] TargetVmManagerImpl::CreateVM: Vm creation failed with error Invalid argument : VmTransformerImpl::SeparateBootDisk: Unable to find VirtualDisk for an active volume
Does this mean there's a problem with P2V using SAN-boot? I thought SAN booting source is supported by the converter.
If so, is there any workarounds to make P2V done successfully?
Any Software RAID/Third party volume software is NOT used on the source.
By the way we have successfully converted SLES11 with only local disks, in the same environment.
Thanks in advance!
