Hi,
I'm using Vmware Converter 5 to try and P2V a Suse Linux Enterprise 10 server.
But only the local physical disk is being seen by the converter. When doing the "convert machine" wizard, at the disks selection tab, only the local 70GB disk is being seen.
All the volumes presented from the storage are not seen for selection... (view attached image).
These are the volumes that exist on the server:
df -h

I have few experience with linux systems, so does anyone have any sugestion that can explain to me in a simple way, please?
Also, preferably no changes can be made to the physical server, due to being a critical production server that we have to rollback to use if the conversion to virtual fails...
