Guest Diego M Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I am trying to convert a physical server into a Virtual Server. When I attempt to capture the image of a Dell Poweredge 2950, the capture progress goes wacko after 85% and the controller services takes all the available memory. The Deployment Agent ends up disconnecting and the image capture never completes. The Job history reports the below information: Capture progress: 10% (4912113 of 49121131) Capture progress: 20% (9824226 of 49121131) Capture progress: 30% (14736339 of 49121131) Capture progress: 40% (19648452 of 49121131) Capture progress: 50% (24560565 of 49121131) Capture progress: 60% (29472678 of 49121131) Capture progress: 70% (34384791 of 49121131) Capture progress: 80% (39296904 of 49121131) Capture progress: 90% (1259344 of 49121131) Capture progress: 100% (6171458 of 49121131) Capture progress: 110% (11083571 of 49121131) Capture progress: 120% (15995684 of 49121131) Capture progress: 1598270% (11228397 of 49121131) Timed out when waiting for data from the remote machine. Event Viewer reports: Failed to open database connection for the following reason: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. Any help appriciated.
Guest Coraleigh Miller Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Re: VSMT Capture Problem Hi Diego, Have you followed the System Capacity Requirements, especially with regards to disk space? From Microsoft... " Sizing physical computers that will host virtual machines is critical to successful deployment. Before performing a migration, verify that the computer running Virtual Server has adequate CPU, memory, and hard disk resources to host the migrated virtual machines. In general, you should add a reasonable buffer of at least 10 percent to your estimated resource requirements, or make sure that there is a simple and quick way to extend these resources if the need arises. The following are some guidelines to follow when estimating system capacity: * We recommend that you allow at least 384 MB RAM for the host operating system. * Make sure that the disk space you have allocated to store ADS images is sufficiently large to house the images you plan to migrate. * A hard disk partition or volume with 2 gigabytes (GB) free space to accommodate the setup process, plus enough extra free disk space for the images themselves. * Because each virtual machine has an overhead of 32 MB of memory, add that amount to the estimated memory resources for each virtual machine. * Allow at least 10 percent free disk space for each virtual machine. * Add a 10 percent buffer to the CPU allocated to the host operating system and each virtual machine. * Dedicate at least one network adapter to the host operating system to allow for remote access for performing management tasks such as monitoring, backup, and so forth. " You may also want to try the people over at the microsoft.public.virtualserver group for more help.

Guest Diego M Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Re: VSMT Capture Problem Thanks for replying to my post. Yes, I did follow the guidelines. I gave the beta version of System Center Virtual Administration a try and I had a similar problem which I believe is related to the capture process. When doing a P2V, it complains about have a cluster size of 8 sectors or less, which is how the Dell Applications format the Hard Drive. This problem is supossed to be fixed in the RTM release.
