Performing some P2V's for a client and had a strange issue with Converter today.
Ran a P2V on a Win2003 physical server using Converter Standalone 4.0.1. Everything runs great until the process gets to 69% then the speed drops to about 200KB/s. It eventually crawls to 70% after another 30 mins then the conversion fails with:
"A general system error occurred:
The specified network name is no longer available."
I'm using IP addresses for both the source physical server and destination vSphere host. The datastore is FC and has plenty of free space.
There is a KB article from VMware (1004615) but it points to networking issues. I don't think this is the case since several physical servers have been converted from the client with Standalone Converter installed and the process with this particular physical box runs like a champ until it hits 69%.
Seems to me that there may be a process locking files on the physical server and is preventing the conversion from completing, however I've killed as many processes on the physical box as possible such as SQL, HP SIM, etc. Next I may try a cold conversion.
Anyone else had this happen?
