Hi,
I have a physical server with Singe Sign-On (SSO) and vCenter Server 5.1.0 (799731) installation that is running out of free disk space and was hoping to P2V migrate it and just expand the disk in VMware. The server does not have any databases running and uses external Oracle databases, one for SSO and one for vCS. I have found documentation on how to perform such a migration for version 5.0.x but not for version 5.1.x. What is the recommended way of doing such a migration?
I have tried to migrate the server in to VMware using vCenter Converter Standalone Client 5.0.1 and the server starts OK. I have made it a member of Active Directory and logins work, but the VMware Virtual Center Server service will not start and displays the following error in Windows Event Viewer "Event 1000, VMware Virtual Center Server. Failed to initialize VMware VirtualCenter. Shutting down..."
Can someone give some suggestions?
