Hi experts, I was running a conversion using Vmware Converter Standalone 5.0, on my RHEL 4 server. It got to 99% and it failed.
I was reading other posts that suggested the target /dev doesn't exist. Looking at the logs I cannot determine where the problem may be.
I have tried the conversion preserving and not preserving LVM partitions in the advanced tabs for the disk. Either way it fails on the same spot.
