I've been trying to use virt-v2v to convert a Windows Server 2003 VM. This VM was one that was converted to a VMWare image that apparently had a previous Windows installation on it that is no longer being used. However, I keep getting the message:
virt-v2v: multiboot operating systems are not supported by virt-v2v So I followed the instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888023 Rebooted, ran virt-v2v again and got the same error message. So, next I installed the Recovery Console, ran fixboot to write a new bootsector and tried again, got the same error message. Figuring that virt-v2v sees the Recovery Console as a new OS, I then followed these instructions for deleting the recovery console here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216417 I then used an ISO image to boot my VMWare image and ran the Recovery Console that way, again running the fixboot command. I am now attempting the virt-v2v process again. It sucks though because it takes 3 hours over a fast gigabit network to do the transfer, and the image is only a 45G disk image that is using the thin provisioned VMWare disk format. I'll follow up with how this new run goes, but what is virt-v2v checking for as another OS? I would have liked to keep the Recovery Console installed, as it is something rather handy on a Windows server. Thanks. -Kenny _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
