Hi all,
I'm trying to convert a Debian 10.10 LXC container running under PVE
6.2-6 into ESXi 7.0.2 VM.
I'm using VMware vCenter Converted Standalone 6.2.0 from May 2018
(latest available).
Upon establishing SSH connection to the container I get:
"Unable to detect disks or volumes on the source machine.
Make sure that the source is a supported Linux distribution."
No such errors when I try the same thing against a bare metal Debian
10.13 box.
Has anybody had any success with this tool?
Is there a better way and any hopes for not having to rebuild containers
manually from scratch as VMs?
Regards,
Adam

Yeah, that won't work - LXC containers are fundamentally different to VM's

Hello,
I would suggest to boot your VMWARE VM with rescue CD or FAI CD
For TEST environment:
1. partition VM for your needs
2. rsync from your LXC
3. Create /etc/fstab
3. Install kernel, bootloader in your chroot
4. reboot
For PROD environment it can be a little bit complicated.
Contact me offlist for an offer.
Best Regards,
Juri Grabowski
