Vmware A General System Error Occurred The Virtual Machine Could Not Start
Getting "Invalid Fault" error when attempting to perform V2V conversion with Converter Standalone 5.5.3 quantum_it Apr a general system error occurred preparing virtual machine for live migration 15, 2015 10:47 AM I am attempting to migrate VMs from an older VMWare environment, using an ESXi 5.5 host (build 1331820), using the vcenter converter https://kb.vmware.com/kb/1014371 standalone utility (version 5.5.3), to a new ESXi 5.5 U2 (build 2068190). The new environment has a vCenter 5.5 server running on it, and the new ESXi 5.5U2 server has been registered with it.The data store sizes are exactly the same on the old and new ESXi servers, just using separate SANs https://communities.vmware.com/thread/508268?start=0&tstart=0 (the new environment is meant to be a 100% clean restart for this environment).However, when I attempt to migrate a VM (version 8) from the old environment to the new environment, and convert it to hardware version 10, I get an "Invalid fault" error from the standalone converter.The only line I can find in the error log before the 'invalid fault' entry is:2015-04-14T15:36:01.267-07:00 [08268 info 'wizardController'] FillPage()2015-04-14T15:36:11.637-07:00 [00400 error 'wizardController'] Unable to submit job: vmodl.fault.SystemError2015-04-14T15:36:11.637-07:00 [10620 error 'ConversionState'] Submit job failed: A general system error occurred: Invalid fault2015-04-14T15:36:11.637-07:00 [10620 error 'ConverterWizardWindow'] Next/Finish failed: A general system error occurred: Invalid fault2015-04-14T15:36:18.559-07:00 [09980 verbose 'HttpConnectionPool-000008'] [RemoveConnection] Connection removed; cnx:

I recieved the generic error ‘A general system error occured: Invalid fault' when trying to vMotion a VM. The VM itself ran fine. I found VMware KB1014371. I analyzed the logs files of the ESXi host. I a general couldn't pinpoint the cause. My error was different to that in the KB article. In the end, the solution was pretty simple. Shutdown the VM. Remove it from inventory. vMotion all VM's from the ESX hosts (by putting it in maintenance mode), reboot the ESXi host. Ofcourse I re-added the VM, etc. Since then, the error has a general system not returned. If it does return, I must dive deeper into the cause of the problem, but for now, the ESXi reboot was a quick fix.

I noticed that I had some dead path in the storage adapters view. "Rescan All" solved the problem. Reply evilcowgod says: Thu-2013-04-11 at 2:29 AM this was the issue i ran into. thanks. Reply n

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 standalon
