I have been trying to get a P2V of a production system to use in our DR plan. I have limited opportunity to do this, because I am not allowed to impact performance during production hours for this system, and the definition of production hours is fairly broad. I have been trying for a couple of months to get this figured out. <\/p>\n
We have our regularly scheduled maintenance once a month on the third Thursday of the month. This is pretty awesome in that we are at liberty (most months) to take everything down from 6PM until 6AM. I look at it as giving the company an evening off. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So, that being tonight, I had it in my mind that I was going to beat the OAS boxes. (Oracle Application Servers, part of our new JD Edwards ERP system.) They are an interesting setup, because they are using Apache, which as great as it may be, isn\u2019t something I have much experience with. They have a loopback adapter for use with the load balancing setup that they are in. The load balancing is performed using our Cisco switches, which as great as they are, I don\u2019t know very much about. All in all, they are pretty complicated to troubleshoot in this case, because there are so many pieces that I am not completely familiar with. <\/p>\n
Such is life\u2026<\/p>\n
Anyway, after a lot of hunting and a lot of posting in forums, I found an event that actually led to a solution. I probably should have found this before, and maybe I did, but didn\u2019t pay enough attention\u2026 <\/p>\n
This is the exact symptoms that I had, and the errors in the event log were there, but the machine that I am trying to convert is a Windows 2003 Server, not Windows XP:<\/p>\n

You use Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 to run the Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) process on a source computer that is running Windows XP. However, the process fails at 40% complete, and the following error is logged in the event log on the computer that has System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2008 installed:<\/p>\n
