Last night I was desperately trying to P2V a machine which I need the bare metal from, but it kept failing, and it wasn't at the same % each time either, but the same exit status, "FAILED: A general system error occurred: Operation was canceled"
The only thing I can think of why this occured would be the fact that the VCS\VMWare converter server is hosted on a different site to the machine, and the cluster I'm trying to put it into. But it wasn't going over the WAN then to the LAN, as I know for facts that my 100Mbit WAN link between the two can't process at the 35-40MB\s, so the machine might have lost connectivity to the converter server during the processing of it.
The machine, is rather large - 615Gb in size (not all used, but the physical disks are that size) - I did also provision the LUN to be 620Gb. It's running SQL, the first run I did I had services up, which I stopped afterwards, and also on the second pass I told it to sync FS changes whilst it was doing the processing.
So, there you have it, any ideas? Just I need this bare metal for another project.
