ESX to AWS error: Disk path is fail

[netcaptive]

Hello,

Using version 9.0.1.509. Converted displays that it's 100% complete, the window shows:

Code: Select all

Success
Invalid parameter
Conversion failed.

Last few lines of the logs are showing:

I originally ran the tool as the root user. Thinking there might be some permissions issue, I created a new user and granted:

• AdministratorAccess
  AmazonEC2FullAccess
  AmazonS3FullAccess
  IAMUserChangePassword

But still receive the same "Disk path is fail". The S3 bucket that's created has a copy of HDD.vhd.

Any pointers to complete this migration would be helpful, thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your post.
Could you please let me know if the instance is some sort of "AWS-ready" instance?

No, it's just a Windows VM in ESX.

Hi,

Thanks for your udpate. Can you try running a P2V conversion from inside of that VM?
Please consider using the root account for troubleshooting purposes.

Ugh, It's a Windows XP VM (!!) and p2v converter won't run on it. This is probably not possible given the age of the VM.

Can you try running a P2V conversion from inside of that VM?

It reports this error launching:
Internal error: Cannot expand "pf64" constant on this version of Windows.

Hi,

Can I get the full conversion log of V2V from ESXi to AWS?
Also, are there any non-ASCII symbols in the VM name?
