SCVMM 2012: P2V/V2V - not enough diskspace due to disk reserves

    Hi,

    I'm trying to convert a Windows 2003 server from VMWARE to HyperV. In the Convert-wizard of SCVMM2012, the following error shows up:

    As you can see, the check fails on 125972 - 123260 = 2712MB
    If I uncheck one of the disks in the Convert-Wizard, the check succeeds

    I have two CSV's with more than 1 TB space available.
    My library-disk is 300 GB total, and 260 GB is still available. I have one library.

    Where should I look to solve this issue?

    Thanks in advance.

    Any word on this?  I'm having a very similar issue with my CSV storage and SCVMM2012 it's like it only sees the available c:\ space of the hyper-v server and NOT the CSV storage that was added.

    Thanks in advance!!

    Hello,

    While converting if you choose High AVailable in Hardware option, it will use CSV volume. Because of not selecting HA, it tries to put the vhd in C:\ drive.

    Can you please check for the HA Option?

    Sincerely,

    Murat Demirkiran

    Thanks for the reply!!  I dont even see the option when going through the wizard to select HA.

    Howerver I think I found my problem....

    The cluster was created using Windows Clustering instead of being created using SCVMM2012.  I'm in the process of tearing down the cluster to rebuild using SCVMM.

    Thank you again for the reply!  I'm open to ANY advice or insight...

    Hi,

    The path selection comes in C: drive. You can use Browse to show CSV Volume.

    I can't even get to that part because it says on the "select host" screen that none of them have enough storage.

    The C:\ of the servers is only 100GB

    The cluster is 1000GB (1tb)

    The Physical Machine is 300GB

    But during the P2V operation it reports that none of the hosts meet the requirements for storage, that they only have 60GB availaible (100-Windows= 60 free) it doesn't see that it has a cluster volume of 1TB also.

    Then i suggest you to use Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Beta.

    https://connect.microsoft.com/site14/InvitationUse.aspx?ProgramID=7594&InvitationID=MVMC-PK9Q-BR47

    or Disk2VHD , 5nine V2V EasyConverter tools.

    Hi,

    There is a new KB about your problem and can solve.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2685247

    You can do it with Powershell. 

    $computername = [computer name]
$targethostgroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup -Name [target host group name]
$cred = Get-Credential
$computerconfiguration = New-SCComputerConfiguration -SourceComputerName $computername -Credential $cred
($computerconfiguration.ErrorList.Count -eq 0)
$jobgroup = [System.Guid]::NewGuid()
for ($i=1; $i -le $computerconfiguration.NetworkAdapters.Count; $i++)
{ New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -JobGroup $jobgroup -MACAddress $computerconfiguration.NetworkAdapters[$i].MACAdress -MACAddressType Static }
$totaldiskspaceBytes = 0
for ($i=1; $i -le $computerconfiguration.Volumes.Count; $i++)
{ $totaldiskspaceBytes += $computerconfiguration.Volumes[$i].Size }
$totaldiskspacegigabytes = $totaldiskspaceBytes / 1073741824
$name = "Temporary Hardware Profile " + [System.Guid]::NewGuid().toString()
$memory = $computerconfiguration.MemoryMB
$cpucount = $computerconfiguration.CPUCount
$processortype = $computerconfiguration.CPUType
$hardwareprofile = New-SCHardwareProfile -HighlyAvailable $true -Name $name -JobGroup $jobgroup -MemoryMB $memory -CPUCount $cpucount -CPUType $processortype
$vmhostrating = Get-SCVMHostRating -VMHostGroup $targethostgroup -VMName $computername -JobGroup $jobgroup -HardwareProfile $hardwareprofile -DiskSpaceGB $totaldiskspacegigabytes
($vmhostrating[$bestindex].DeploymentErrorList.Count -eq 0)-and($vmhostrating[$bestindex].ZeroRatingReasonList.Count -eq 0)
Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -HardwareProfile $hardwareprofile | Remove-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter
Remove-SCHardwareProfile -HardwareProfile $hardwareprofile
$path = $vmhostrating[$bestindex].PreferredVolume.ToString() + “[some folder path]”
New-SCP2V -SourceComputerName $computername -VMHost $vmhostrating[$bestindex].VMHost -Name [vm name] -Path $path -MemoryMB $memory –Credential $cred -RunAsynchronously

    How did you present your CSV storage to SCVMM?

    I am having problems with XenDesktop and I think this is the reason why.

    If I create a new machine in SCVMM2012 I can select the CSV storage but if I edit an existing VM I cannot select the CSV storage and I suspect this is what is making the creation of the virual machines fail.

    Any guidance on this would be appreciated.

    Hello Demazter,

    "if I edit an existing VM" can you give more details on this.

    When you create a machine if you dont choose High Available in Hardware tab, It will not show up csv.

    Murat Demirkiran

    It's OK, that was probably incorrect.  It wouldn't let me view the detail because the VM was turned on.

    The issue I have is that SCVMM will not attach the hard disk to the new VM that is created by XenDesktop.

    I receive an error as shown below.

    Hi,

    I tried all the workarounds with no luck.

    The powershell scripts its a nightmare to work with :/

    On Method 2, i get another error:

    Configuration issues related to the virtual hard drive configuration with ID [e52a89b4-03f3-4014-9963-802a24d45aa1] of virtual machine [NEWINTELL] prevent deployment.

    Update placement or determine an appropriate host for this virtual machine and try the operation again.

    ID: 23721

    So now im stuck with something that could be very simple to do.........
