XenConvert is really directed towards P2V of windows boxes onto XenServer / XCP. XenConvert really does some magic to fully clone a running windows box: creates a live mirror of the OS, takes care of the HAL and Hard Disk Controller obstacles and fixes your registry to run on Xen, then imports it for you. It might help you to know that experience teaches that the "most successful" way of migrating, was to create an xvda image, put it on a usb disk, then use the xe vm-import command on the XCP box. However, I did successfully, V2V my W2K3 server directly from Virtualbox to XCP using XenConvert 2.1. I just started up XenConvert inside my VirtualBox W2K3 VM and pointed it at my XCP server, and set it to work. It is when you get a failed import that the fun begins. You really need to clean up after a failure before trying again. Otherwise you will end up going nowhere with import failure after failure. Use xe to remove the VM instance and associated VDIs. Be aware, depending on your network speed and the size of your data, it can take several hours. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erich" <soundy@xxxxxxxxx> To: "James Troup" <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, 27 February, 2010 12:35:55 PM Subject: Re: [Xen-users] XCP - Need help with VMWare to XCP migration It requires a login to the "XenServer", which is failing.
