p2v successful but vhd or vhdx empty

Veritas 21.1--Server 2019.  V2i to vhd and vhdx conversion complete successfully and size looks correct, but contain no partitions.  Both servers are 2008 r2.

  • Fixed by creating a dynamically-sized vhd set to an intitial size large enough to contain the restore then doing a normal restore to the vhd. Then made vm bootable  by setting the partition active with diskpart, then doing a bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /fixboot, bootrec /rebuildbcd, followed by X:\sources\recovery> startrep.exe.  Then loading the system hive, setting the intelide service start value to 0, and setting the old raid service startup value to 3.
