The http://serverfault.com/questions/532344/unable-to-configure-virtual-machine copy fails at 98% and says, FAILED: Unable to create '\\.\vstor2-mntapi20-shared-E3CDF48200001000000000002D000000\$Reconfig$'. I understand this means that the VM has copied over, but failed to configure. I've tried to use the client to configure the machine that was copied over, and it fails with the same error. The VM is a Windows 7 desktop. I can boot the VM normally and as far as I can tell it works fine, but I'm worried that its missing something that will cause problems down the road. I've copied several different virtual machines and I've had this problem 4 out of 6 times. Does anyone know where this \.\vstor2-mntapi20 file is located and what it is for? Does anyone have an idea on what is causing the error? windows-7 vmware-vsphere vmware-vcenter vmware-converter share|improve this question edited Feb 26 '15 at 19:43 Massimo 47.1k28135246 asked Aug 20 '13 at 14:54 StaticMethod 1113 Why not just copy it from one datastore to the other? Why are you converting it if you're trying to copy/move it? –joeqwerty

Join Now 2 minutes into my P2V of a SUSE linux box, I get an error message: FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'root is not found' In the log highlights is: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/163889-vmware-converter-fails Error: Unable to reconfigure the destination virtual machine. I'm converting a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 (i586) to a virtual machine in ESXi 4.1.0 using version 5.0.0 of VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone client. uname on the source gives: Linux cedar 2.6.32.12-0.7-pae #1 SMP 2010-05-20 11:14:20 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Is it talking about root the linux user, root the VMWare user, or root the filesystem? Any other thoughts on what might be going wrong here?

Sound like you have specified reconfiguration of the o/s on the destination in which case it would need some kind of administrative access in order to be able to set the necessary settings. If that is the case then vmware converter failed you should still be able to boot the VM and set the config manually 0 Sonora OP dlewis Oct 21, 2011 at 10:36 UTC That sounds logical, although I'm actually creating a new machine on the host rather than reconfiguring an existing one. If I have to reconfigure manually, any idea how to find it out what it is I have to reconfigure? 0 Sonora OP dlewis Oct 21, 2011 at 12:48 UTC And when I do poweron on the box, all I get on the console is "error loading operating system". So the conversion didn't get far enough to even start the OS. Looking at the summary, there is only a 3GB drive provisioned. The physical box has a couple of 75GB drives in software raid 1. 0 Chipotle OP Best Answer theshadow Oct 27, 2011 at 7:55 UTC You may want to look at cold cloning, unless I don't understand the question. Here's a link that may help: http://enterpriseadmins.org/blog/virtualization/linux-p2v-with-vmware-converter-stand-alone/ 0 Sonora OP dlewis Oct 28, 2011 at 8:18 UTC That looks like it might have worked. I ended up building a new machine and moving the data and apps over by hand. 0 Pimiento OP vadim slutsky Oct 8, 2013 at 5:01 UTC 1st Post In my case the error 'root is not found' was related to unsupported platform.
