When i initiated the P2V migration of theWindows 2008 Server using VMware Convereter 4.3 version, it was going fine with step by step wizard through the Conversion process but when i am submitting the conversion task. I am getting the below error: A General System Error Occur: Invalid Fault I found the below error messages from VMware Converter Worker log (vmware-converter-worker.log)located in (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs) CreateVm task failed: The device or operation specified at index ‘6' is not supported for the current virtual machine version ‘vmx-04'. [#11] A minimum version of ‘vmx-07' is required for this operation to succeed. [#11] TargetVmManagerImpl::CreateVM: Vm creation failed with fault vim.fault.DeviceUnsupportedForVmVersion After analyzing the above error, I noticed that I have selected the VM version as 7. and also my destination ESXi hosts is version 5.0. So understood from the Web search thatIt is recommended to use VMware Converter version 5 when converting to ESXi 5. So, I installed VMware Converter standalone version 5.0 to start converting the same windows 2008 server and selected VM version as 8. It was completed successfully without any issues. So I will recommend to use VMware Converter standalone version 5.0 when converting to ESXi 5 hosts. I believe
problem and solution, hope it's useful for you. Virtual machine maybe lost on vCenter Server inventory for some reason, it's also disappeared on ESXi inventory when you connect to the individual host directly. You are able to find the VM process by esxcli https://zhengwu.org/tag/failed/ vm process list, but not able to get it by vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms. If you try load https://ict-freak.nl/2010/08/23/vcenter-a-general-system-error-occurred-invalid-fault/ the VM manually by commeand vim-cmd vmsvc/reload [vmid], it back you error: (vim.fault.NotFound) { dynamicType = , faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null, msg = "Unable to find a VM corresponding to "vmid"", } You can also find the VM process by esxtop command. My solution was remove the ESXi host from vCenter Server, then restart management services, and then browse the VM folder, a general add the VM back to inventory, then join the host back to vCenter Server. Author WuPosted on June 23, 2014Categories EnglishTags Failed, VMLeave a comment on Virtual Machine Disappeared on vCenterInventory ESXi 5.1 shows 0 value for CPU/memory invcenter It's been a month, i was busy to make our environment more stable, a lot of troubleshooting, webex session and discussing. Few days ago I noticed random VMs kept vMotion constantly. Some VMs got strange situation, show a general system orphan, invalid or unknown status, but still online. I couldn't find any evidence why the VMs went to these status. One more thing I noticed was CPU and memory utilization of ESXi 5.1 shows 0 on vCenter server 5.1. Following statement is not mature conclusion, it's my inference according to DRS, HA and that particular 0 value CPU/memory. I also discussed that with VMware BCS support. VM changed to abnormal status due to vMotion interrupted by something, more like HA kicked off due to network/storage intermittent failed. That become high chance since DRS kept try move heavy workload VM to 0 CPU/memory host. You have to upgrade to ESXi 5.1 latest versionor vCenter Server 5.1 update 1cto permanent fix this problem. Workaround: Choose one option from following options, that's temporary solution, issue will present again. 1. Restart ESXi management agent. 2. Disconnect/reconnect ESXi on vSphere client. Update: you have to upgrade ESXi host and vcenter server both to permanent fix the problem.

Just like my earlier post today, the solution was to restart the management service. Login to the ESX Service Console and run the following command: service mgmt-vmware restart after the restart of the service I was able to enable maintenance mode on the specific host.
