VMware Converter Standalone 6.1.1 P2V migrating Linux Example

VMware vcenter Converter Standalone is an important tool for P2V to migrate operating systems such as Windows,linux, but there are often some details that can be unsuccessful, this article through VMware vcenter Converter standalone6.1.1 Tools successfully migrated the Dell R310 Legacy Server (Centos5.8 x64) to the ESXI6.0U2 virtualization platform, now through virtual machine simulation and recording process and processing mode.

First, the matters needing attention:

(1) Must have root permission, can ssh login.
(2) network is not a problem, the conversion of the virtual confidential add static IP address, preferably the same network segment.
(3) before the Linux conversion to understand the state of the original system disk partition, is the basic partition (/DEV/SDA1,/DEV/SDB1, etc.), or the use of LVM logical volume, the following methods are noted:

1) Base partition: The target disk type needs to be changed to a basic partition or the Linux operating system will not boot. Such as.

2) LVM partition: The default disk type is not required to change, but Linux after the conversion is the boot process to report kernel errors, need to be processed to start, mainly to solve the problem of LVM volume mount.

Second, the migration process is as follows (according to the wizard below)

To configure an IP address, avoid having to fail.

After completion, start the virtual machine error as follows: (Will be error, the use of LVM partition is like this, various machines may not be the same, some may prompt the module is not loaded, will be prompted kernel panic not syncing: But the treatment is the same way)

Subsection: The above processing mode in the migration of Linux to pay attention to the problem, and the original server whether the use of display cards, such as no driver-independent, may be the reason for the use of old servers, after the migration network card drivers are normal.
