Hello!
I'm having difficulty performing a P2V on a CentOS 5.10 box to ESXi 4.1. The process fails with an error message of
Unable to query the live Linux source machine
After searching most of the day I've either addressed or were NA the following possible reasons
* no, there is not 32K folders in/tmp
* there are no echo statements in /root/,bashrc
* mesg y is rem'd out in /etc/bashrc
* /tmp is rwx/777 across the board
* fails with same error message on Converter 4.0.1
* fails with same error message on Converter 4.3
* fails with same error message on Converter 5.5.2
* I can SSH into the box, so password is/should be fine
* I do get a SSH thumbprint pop-up the first time I connect
* I connect to port 22 of the CentOS box
* there is no special kernel (i.e. Xen), kernel is 2.6.18.274.12.1.el5
* this CentOS box does contain cPanel, seems some of the other people with the same problem also have cPanel installed
* fails with same error if I run from AD admin account or local PC admin account
* converter is installed on a Windows 7 Pro x64 sp1
* the CentOS box is across town on a public IP address
* I have copied over vmware-sysinfo-lin64 and run it on the CentOS box, not sure what to do after that - does that prep it for the Converter?
* per above, I can pscp copy files from W7 to CentOS
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated
Thanks,
Rich.
