Appliance 5230 problem with Vm conversion vmware

[fdassonville]

Hi, i have a problem for restore a physical server with vm conversion.

in my case my appliance is a master/media

i have copied the vmtools iso into the /tmp to the appliance

The gui ask me to choose the vmtools vmware

when i brows my appliance, i can choose the iso, but when i run the pre-check, i was failed.

i think, it's not the good method, but i don't find any docuements about vm conversion with appliance.

Have you got any idea ?

Thank's for your help

You need to put that iso on a windows server that acts as the VIC.

[fdassonville]

ok, now i passe the run check successfully with the Iso on a Windows

but when i launch the convert, i have a pop up with ; no full backup available.

i have a full backup for this server with bmr option activate

have you got an idea ?

Yes,

Which versions are you running? I would suggest 7.6.0.3 before even trying to do this. Many bugs related to BMR P2V fixed in 7.6.0.3

[fdassonville]

7.6.0.3 :(

it's a bad news !

[RiaanBadenhorst]

are you doing a restore from the current or making a copy? Try with current. Also, are you 100% you have a status 0 backup for the client as the last backup?

[fdassonville]

i have 100% status 0

i have tried with the current configuration and a copy.

i have the same result : :(

[RiaanBadenhorst]

I would suggest a support case then.

[fdassonville]

I opened a case in addition to the forum

I would put online solution

thank's for your help

[RiaanBadenhorst]

Please do, its a fairly new feature so putting up what the solution was would help us all :)

Hi

Check in your NBU catalog if the Full "BMR" backup image for this server still there , it seems the backup is already expired?

[fdassonville]

i have restore the server with jave console en 7.6.0.1 version

all jobs in activity was with status 0, but the conversion conversion task return the status1

when i boot the server, the windows detecte a hardware change and restart.

[RiaanBadenhorst]

Get up to 7.6.0.3 (thought you were on it and said its still not working)

[fdassonville]

i'am trying today with the 7.6.0.3 version

and i give you a feed back :)

I had an external drive that was connected to the server.
I have excluded the disk from the BMR

The restore is ok

[fdassonville]

no, in the part of collect client

you have the collect hardware, os, disk management information, and you can copy for a new configuration, and restrict an element in disk.

in my case, a external hard drive
