We’re using Vcenter to P2V some of our servers. Most have worked, but the ones that fail, fail with a description that is not helpful at all.

mostRecentError = (converter.fault.CloneFault) {

–> dynamicType = <unset>,

–> faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,

–> description = “Unknown exception”,

–> msg = “An error occurred during the conversion: ‘Unknown exception'”,

–> },

–> numConsecutiveErrors = 1,

We’re tried several different ways of cloning including matching the hardware, not thin provisioning, setting permissions, using a domain admin account and still we get this error.

has anyone else had this error and figured out a solution?

Thanks.

when a start a vm with the command start-vm -vm xxx

i have a question:

Did you move this virtual machine, or did you copy
it?
If you don’t know, answer “I copied it”.

how respond to this question with the command powershell

thanks
